Ge Garden: The mountain light of four seasons is condensed in the stone, and the shadow of bamboo is swaying with the cool autumn
Ge Garden, named after bamboo and famous for its stones, is the oldest and best preserved salt merchant garden in Yangzhou. If 'March fireworks in Yangzhou' is the endorsement written by Li Bai for Yangzhou, then 'the best place in the west of bamboo' is the promotion given by Jiang Kui to Ge Garden. The lush green bamboo separated by a wall separates the hustle and bustle of Dongguan Street and soothes the anxiety and impatience brought by my hurried journey.
'Prefer to eat without meat, rather than live without bamboo', the owner of Ge Garden, Huang Yingtai, cherishes and loves bamboo, even changed his name to 'Zhiyun', and planted his residence full of lush bamboo. Naming the garden 'Ge' is not only a clever take on the charm of the Chinese character and shape of bamboo; the three strokes in the painting also represent the perfect realm of the three fullness of fortune, salary, and longevity. This is also the most famous classical garden in Yangzhou besides Slender West Lake - if you don't come to Ge Garden, you haven't been to Yangzhou.
Four Seasons Rockery: A mountain has many seasons, and a season is in many mountains
Chinese freehand brushwork is committed to integrating thousands of weather in a square inch. A long scroll of the four seasons is also condensed into an eternal real scene by Ge Garden. 'Spring mountain is light and like a smile, summer mountain is green and like a drop, autumn mountain is clear and like makeup, winter mountain is bleak and like sleep', and the winter and spring mountains are separated by a wall. Through the hole in the west wall of the winter mountain, you can glimpse the stalagmites at the entrance of the garden outside - winter is here, will spring be far away?
Admiring the autumn mountain in autumn is just right: the craftsman cleverly borrows the texture and unique color of the newly built yellow stone, and constructs a rugged and changeable three-dimensional landscape in the square inch of the world. Standing on the Buddha Yun Pavilion on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the autumn mountain below, and you can look far away to the Slender West Lake to the north. The mountain is also planted with ancient cypresses, red maples and other colorful and angular plants, which are commensurate with the handsome mountain body, making this live 'Autumn Mountain Sunset' picture always new.
Baoshan Building: Don't go out and the sky is spring, and the dust horses are all resting
The slender Baoshan Building embraces the summer and autumn mountains with a long corridor, hence the name. The garden has the saying of 'mustard sumeru' and 'pot middle world', and the title of Baoshan Building 'Pot Sky from Spring' also means to see the big from the small. It is like a time and space tunnel, collecting spring, summer, autumn and winter, heaven and earth, day and moon: climbing the building and looking, you can overlook the clear pool and mountain stone flowers and trees under the building, as far as the entrance of the spring mountain; to the north, you can look far away. Yangzhou city scenery, hear the voices of people in the market; walking along the long corridor in the building, there are exquisite and transparent summer and majestic and heavy autumn within a hundred steps.
Wan Bamboo Garden: The green shadow shakes the sky and the blue clouds are low, and the bamboo dances with the wind and the rhyme is long
Bamboo is the spirit of Ge Garden. In Wan Bamboo Garden, there are now more than 60 kinds of ornamental bamboo and more than 20,000 poles. There is a pavilion in the depths of the bamboo forest, named after Wang Wei's poem 'Bamboo Pavilion'. The couplet in the pavilion 'For the heavy frost festival, can be empty to respond to the heart of things' also reflects Huang Zhiyun's love for the bamboo's spirit. Standing in the hexagonal pavilion surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides, waiting for the breeze to pass through the bamboo tips, the bamboo shadows swaying, listening to the clear and unique sound of the bamboo leaves, I can't help but think: when the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest' in the Wei and Jin Dynasties lived under the bamboo and sang happily, Is it so comfortable and hearty?
'Spring, summer, autumn and winter mountain light is different, the wind is clear and the dew bamboo shadow is colorful', come to Ge Garden in autumn, you can enjoy the fragrant osmanthus, golden ginkgo, and fiery maple's strong autumn rhyme at the same time.

Ge Garden
Don't take a flavor after the night tour. It makes people feel like they are in the atmosphere of an ancient big family. It is very interesting. In addition to the light show, there are professional actors. The performance is Yangzhou-style drama. It is very interesting.
It is a garden. I like the garden architecture. I tweeted. It is really beautiful. The first time I went there was pure self-appreciation. This time I went to listen to a little brother explaining. He also had a downbeat, so I really wanted to go back to the time directly. I also learned a lot of design reasons and allusions.
The Jiangnan garden at night has a special flavor, the lighting effect is completely different, and the actor's singing praise is very good, let people immerse in the night life of the big family in ancient times! Worth a visit!
Came on April 23, 2024. Geyuan is the residence and private garden of the salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty. Here you can really feel the rich side of the salt merchants in that year. Even compared with the famous Jiangnan garden, it is not inferior. It is an unmissable attraction. The name of "geyuan" is related to bamboo, and a large number of bamboos are planted in the garden, which is the most prominent feature of this yard. But in my opinion, the bigger highlight of the garden is the rockery landscape stacked with the theme of "spring, summer, autumn and winter" four seasons, located in the central core of the scenic spot. These landscapes are the only one in the world, containing a lot of ingenuity. The garden is the rule of "front residence, back garden". The main entrance on the south side is not eye-catching. The wonderful backyard is hidden on the north side, reflecting the philosophy of the Qing Dynasty salt merchants "not showing wealth". However, this does not mean that the residential area on the south side of the park is lackluster. This area seems to be quite satisfactory. In fact, there are many details in the details. Therefore, when visiting, you need to sink your heart and look carefully, listen carefully to the explanation, so that you can better experience the beauty of the garden.
How powerful is the garden? I only know when I go. With its unique landscape characteristics and enduring artistic charm, it has become a classic representative of Yangzhou Ming and Qing gardens. The biggest feature is that the garden has four beautiful scenery, reflecting the different scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and Beijing Summer Palace, Chengde Mountain Resort and Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden. Also known as the four famous parks of China, it is worth watching.
很喜欢,是到扬州去的第一个园林,入园就闻到了一股梅花的香气,到处都是竹子,听风吹竹林的声音,特别解压,一定要安静坐下来,闭着眼听风吹竹林的声音,太美好了。逛园林就是慢悠悠啊!体会古人的心境,这是最难得的!在园子里慢慢的走慢慢的看,你会发现它很小,可是每一处都充满了巧思,春夏秋冬,周而复始,把山川万物日月星辰都归到这一方天地,为自己营造一处僻静的精神空间,这应该是每一个文人的梦想吧,只是想要实现这个梦想需要财力,而个园的主人做到了,有财力也有才华,这个园林的名字取得都这么雅致!!!
Walking in Dongguan Street, by the way, I went to the garden. The interpreter is 25/stage, which is not cost-effective than the Yunbo. The garden is quite big, but Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are used to the garden and have no special feelings. There is a pony and two alpacas in the bamboo forest. I don’t know why they are raised. Do you show the children?
Very worthwhile. Personally think that on the Heyuan, there is a blessing everywhere. Escape passages are everywhere. Master Shitao's masterpiece of the stone mountain house, the essence is where it is. The most beautiful of Jinyun Pavilion, if you want to be poor, you must go to a higher level! The scenery is really good here! Who knows who comes!
