Explore Zhujiajiao and discover the unique charm of Kezhi Garden!

🌟 In Zhujiajiao ancient town, most people just stroll around the town, enjoy the snacks, and take a boat ride. There is a lesser-known attraction worth visiting: Kezhi Garden, a classical garden filled with historical and cultural essence. 🌸 Attraction Introduction: Kezhi Garden is located at the north end of Zhujiajiao on Xijing Street, offering a tranquil environment and unique scenery. It is the largest manor-style garden architecture in the town. The original owner was Ma Wenqing, thus it is commonly known as 'Ma's Garden'. The name 'Kezhi' implies 'to not forget farming while engaging in scholarly pursuits', hence the garden has both a book city and a rice fragrance village to reflect its name. The garden features pavilions, terraces, towers, artificial mountains and ponds, stone tablet corridors, and ancient famous trees, all of which are readily available. The entire manor is composed of three major parts: the hall area, the rockery area, and the garden area. The main buildings include the entrance hall, living room, flower hall, Yinggui Hall, book collection tower, Moon Viewing Tower, Upside-Down Lion Hall, Singing Tower, stele corridor, Double-Eye Well, Nine-Turn Bridge, and Kezhi Bridge, among others. 🎫 Ticket Price: No reservation is needed, just buy tickets on-site, 20 yuan for an adult ticket. 🌸 Tips for Visiting: If possible, follow a guide to hear the whole story of the house, its past and present, for a deeper understanding and a more engaging experience. Every brick and tile in Kezhi Garden reveals the unique craftsmanship. The architecture style of the garden blends features from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The courtyard is not very large, but it is exquisite and well-arranged, with pavilions and towers, offering a different view at every step, designed ingeniously and rhythmically. In the spring season, the greenery is lush, and the breeze is gentle, making it a perfect place for a leisurely stroll. The koi in the pond are plump and lively. Passing through the cleverly designed rockery and climbing to a higher point to overlook the entire courtyard is a delightful and cheerful experience. 🚌 Transportation Information: You can take Line 17 or drive to Zhujiajiao ancient town.
