Geyuan Garden

Ge Garden 📍Detailed address: No. 10 Yanfu East Road, Guangling District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province ❤Recommended reason: Ge Garden is one of the four famous gardens in China, along with the Summer Palace in Beijing, the Mountain Resort in Chengde, and the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou. In Ge Garden, we can deeply observe the ancient architecture of Yangzhou and appreciate the beauty of Chinese classical architecture 💰Average consumption: The average adult ticket is 28, there are discounts for the elderly, children, students, etc.

"Attractions Guide" Xiaojie Street At the end of the alley, you can check in at the "Siwang Pavilion" building, where the short alley encapsulates the ordinary life of the locals. Dongguan Street A very representative historical old street in Yangzhou, with lanterns hanging from the eaves of old buildings along the road, full of New Year's atmosphere, it is a great place for a city stroll. Ge Garden I personally think it's more worth visiting than He Garden~ The exquisite garden and rockery are very typical of Chinese elegance. Pishi Street There are many interesting creative shops, as well as a big "Yangzhou" sign, which is very suitable for taking photos. Er Fen Ming Yue Lou A free garden hidden in the alley, not very big and with few people, but still encapsulates the poetic and picturesque charm of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Grand Canal Museum No ticket is required, but you need to make a reservation in advance. "About Accommodation" This time I came to Yangzhou to better experience the market life of this small town, so I deliberately stayed at the reconstructed Bingyuan Pavilion Cultural Resort Hotel on Dongguan Street~ In a century-old salt merchant's residence, through the understanding of the aesthetics of life, it has been upgraded and transformed, but you can feel a different kind of relaxation and tranquility. Sitting in the tea room in the garden landscape and chatting and tasting tea in the afternoon really feels like the right way to open a trip to Yangzhou!

"In the misty rain of March, go down to Yangzhou", it's predicted that Yangzhou in March and April will become an unattainable peak. 📣【Travel Methods】 🚄High-speed train: Arrive at Yangzhou Station or Yangzhou East Station ✈Plane: Arrive at Yangtai Airport, 🚘Self-driving: Recommended for nearby cities, the experience will be better 📣【Must-Visit Attractions】 🔶Grand Canal Museum: The most surprising itinerary inside, with a total of 🈶10 pavilions, enter from the left and stroll all the way without having to backtrack, the 2nd and 3rd pavilions are the most astonishing, with immersive simulations of Yangzhou's beautiful scenery and bustling flower markets 🔶Slender West Lake: For those who often reside in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, and frequently visit places like Suzhou, Wuxi, and Hangzhou, the attraction is not that great, but its reputation precedes it, so you always want to take a look 🔶Dongguan Street: A very authentic old Yangzhou historical street and also a food and commercial street, the night view is also fantastic! Wenchang Pavilion, one of the landmarks of Yangzhou, is worth a visit for a photo op~ 🔶Ge Garden: One of the four famous gardens in China, it integrates garden art and landscape, with many rockeries and bamboo groves, and the garden's winter-sweet is in full bloom, especially 🈶 artistic. 🔶Pishi Street: Only a few hundred meters long, mainly for landmark check-ins and cultural and creative shops, not much food, if you like snacks, it is recommended to go to Guoqing Road, which is only one or two kilometers away from Pishi Street. 📣【About Accommodation and Dining】 🚋Accommodation: It is recommended to choose near Dongguan Street or Wenchang Pavilion, the location is convenient, and it's easy to enjoy food and entertainment~ 🍲Cuisine: Having morning tea in Yangzhou is a must ‼ ☑Affordable dining 🔜 Huayuan, recommended three-ding bao, pine nut shumai, vermicelli soup ☑Exquisite dining 🔜 Xiangyuan or Quyuan, both are safe choices ‼ ☑Yangda yogurt, Yangzhou fried rice, Yangzhou dry silk, braised lion's head, must-try ‼ ☑Ziqi Hotpot, Yangzhou's own Haidilao, must-try

📍Slender West Lake, where every casual shot is a scenic view. I highly recommend walking in and then taking a boat out. The views from the boat and the shore each have their unique features. 📍Ge Garden, one of the four famous gardens. I have to say that the ancients really knew how to enjoy life. 📍He Garden, the first garden of the late Qing Dynasty. Compared to Ge Garden, I prefer the layout of He Garden. He Garden has a combination of Chinese and Western architectural features. The interior decoration and layout are very different from traditional gardens, which is worth seeing. 📌The morning tea in Yangzhou is very good, but the one in Guangdong is more delicious haha. But I really like desserts. The lotus root starch balls are really delicious. The iced lotus root starch is also very special for the first time. Also, the jasmine-flavored yogurt from Yang University is the best haha. I like places with few people. See you next time, Yangzhou.

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': No. 10 Yanfu East Road, Guangling District 💰Tickets: 30r  Ge Garden

Ge Garden This private residence and garden was expanded by Huang Zhiyun, a salt merchant of the Lianghuai region during the Qing Dynasty, in the 23rd year of the Jiaqing era, based on the former Ming Dynasty 'Shouzhi Garden'. It is named for its abundant planting of green bamboo and is renowned for its rockeries representing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The most distinctive feature of Ge Garden is the conceptualization and construction of the rockeries for the four seasons, built with bamboo shoots stone, lake stone, yellow stone, and Xuan stone. The garden's main theme is bamboo and stone, with the unique characteristic of using split peaks and stones. The twelve zodiac stone animals symbolize spring, the Taihu stones represent the lush southern landscape of midsummer, the yellow stones enhance the lofty mountains of autumn, and the white snow stones highlight the cold feeling of the winter snow that has not yet melted. Each has its own characteristics, expressing the poetic and picturesque sentiment that 'spring is bright and smiling, summer mountains are lush and dripping, autumn mountains are clear and like makeup, and winter scenery is bleak and like sleep'. Strolling in the garden, smelling the fragrance of magnolia flowers, listening to the melodious singing of birds, thus begins a day in the springtime of Jiangnan. Tease the fish in the pond, watch them scramble for food, their tiny tails stirring up sparkling water droplets. 'The swallows once graced the halls of nobles, now fly into the homes of the common folk.' Today, Ge Garden no longer witnesses the rise and fall of a family, but the ordinary days of countless common people. 🚄Transportation: Take a taxi from Yangzhou East Station, about a 20-minute ride, costing approximately 20 yuan, and get off at Dongguan Street to walk. 🎫Ticket: Off-season 30 yuan, peak season 45 yuan; there is also a night tour with a mansion banquet experience, priced at 55 yuan.
