Qinghui Garden Tour Guide | In-depth Strategy | With Introduction to Attractions
⛩Introduction to attractions: Located on Xinlu in Daliang, Shunde, it is collectively known as one of the four famous gardens in Guangdong, along with the Liang Garden (Shi Shi Zhai) in Foshan, the Yuyin Mountain House in Panyu, and the Keyuan in Dongguan. The overall layout is ingenious, featuring both the style of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River and the characteristics of subtropical scenery in South China. It has a history of 160 years and is a garden landscape with significant ornamental, artistic, and practical value. In the 1990s, it was listed as one of the top ten famous gardens in China.
The layout of Qinghui Garden is a large garden encompassing smaller gardens. The three main areas of the current Qinghui Garden are: the southeast corner area entered from the original main gate, the central old garden area, and the new garden area built in recent years in the northwest. Although the areas are separated, they are connected and integrated through corridors, paths, and creatively designed small doors. Taking the old garden area as an example, its western part is centered around a square pond, the central northern part with the Boat Hall and others are the essence of this area, and the southern part with the Bamboo Garden, Xiaopeng Bi Sheng Flower Pavilion, etc., form courtyards, creating a garden within a garden, embodying the pattern and charm of a large garden encompassing smaller gardens.

There are a lot of decorative and admirable ceramics, gray plastics, wood carvings, glass. Among them, brick carvings and stained glass are particularly beautiful. A group of green, red, yellow and blue combinations of "full wind" glass windows attracted us. Looking out through this different color glass, the scenery in the park has the feeling of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and is actually the effect of "filter".
