Witness the four seasons of a garden, read the vicissitudes of a century

Witness the four seasons of a garden, read the vicissitudes of a century

Visiting a private garden in Yangzhou during the Spring Festival holiday is a highlight, but two hours is still too short to do anything but skim the surface. One can only roughly experience the rich and varied garden scenery and the elegant and cultured life of wealth and luxury depicted in the owner's poetry and paintings. The ingenious ideas of the four-season rockery, as well as the historical figures' couplets and calligraphy treasures, cannot be explored and experienced one by one. When time permits, one must return to savor these in detail.

Visiting He Garden at night offers a unique scenery

Visiting He Garden at night offers a unique scenery

Yangzhou is filled with poetic gardens. He Garden, also known as Jixiao Mountain Villa: Leaning against the south window to express pride, ascending the eastern heights to release a carefree shout. This poetic name easily reminds people of the world-famous novel Wuthering Heights. It is also known as the finest garden of the late Qing dynasty. Today, it is one of the most famous spots in Yangzhou for portrait photography, with ladies in ancient costumes everywhere. I used to visit He Garden during the day, to see the rockeries and the ladies, but now with the scorching sun, it's even more appealing at night. A night tour of He Garden, to see the light show and the ladies. The park features various performances such as Yang Opera and puppet shows, and these performances further highlight the winding paths and secluded charm of the night, with lights reflecting on the ancient buildings, creating a beautiful anachronism.

Dreaming of the South, a poetic home

Dreaming of the South, a poetic home

During the Spring Festival, the highways are toll-free, and we drove all the way to the city of Yangzhou. Although it is not yet the time of peach blossoms and willows in the 'Fireworks in March', for us coming from the north, it already feels like spring is everywhere. In the personal garden, the vitality is further enhanced by the bamboo forests everywhere, and the combination of grey bricks, white tiles, and the natural colors of rockery and evergreens in the private gardens makes it feel as if we are in a painting.
