Qu Shui Garden in Winter

Qu Shui Garden in Qingpu is beautiful in all four seasons, but in winter, it looks like a traditional Chinese ink painting, with a deep beauty in its tranquility. The rockery, pond, pavilions, and ancient trees all exude a sense of peace in the winter sun. The pale yellow branches of the bamboo are warm and hazy in the sunlight. The ancient buildings with their blue bricks and white walls are dignified and profound in the winter light. In early winter, Qu Shui Garden is neither as bleak and cold as the north, nor as warm as the south, but has a unique Jiangnan charm. It is both tranquil and vibrant, both imaginative and present.
