Geyuan Garden

Compared with Heyuan, Geyuan feels not so beautiful, it is a bit big, but I don’t think it’s more exquisite. Yangzhou is really a treasure tourist city. It’s really the right place to come here in March. The attractions are very close. You can take a taxi or walk.

The scenery is beautiful, fully showing the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens, but unfortunately many houses are conscripted for office space and are not allowed to enter. And the number of tourists on holidays is so scary that it is basically difficult to take satisfactory photos when people are crowded, and you can only see the stitches.

Temporary intention to participate in the night tour, the ticket is more expensive than the day, but there are rich and varied performances, the price is still very high, that is, the lights are dim at night, if the performance venue is not familiar, it will be long to find, it is easy to miss the beginning, hahaha, it is recommended that some people work at the key intersections guide, At the same time, the performance can often play Changxin, and I look forward to coming back next time.

Came on April 23, 2024. Geyuan is the residence and private garden of the salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty. Here you can really feel the rich side of the salt merchants in that year. Even compared with the famous Jiangnan garden, it is not inferior. It is an unmissable attraction. The name of "geyuan" is related to bamboo, and a large number of bamboos are planted in the garden, which is the most prominent feature of this yard. But in my opinion, the bigger highlight of the garden is the rockery landscape stacked with the theme of "spring, summer, autumn and winter" four seasons, located in the central core of the scenic spot. These landscapes are the only one in the world, containing a lot of ingenuity. The garden is the rule of "front residence, back garden". The main entrance on the south side is not eye-catching. The wonderful backyard is hidden on the north side, reflecting the philosophy of the Qing Dynasty salt merchants "not showing wealth". However, this does not mean that the residential area on the south side of the park is lackluster. This area seems to be quite satisfactory. In fact, there are many details in the details. Therefore, when visiting, you need to sink your heart and look carefully, listen carefully to the explanation, so that you can better experience the beauty of the garden.

Yangzhou gardens have their own characteristics of the four seasons, unique charm. Spring: the garden is centered on the circular door of the word "bamboo garden", with bamboo and scorpion stones planted on both sides, meaning spring, showing the vitality of spring atmosphere. Summer: mainly the rockery of the blue gray Taihu Lake stone stacked, many but not chaotic, like clouds and mist, the mountain is lush with cypress branches and leaves, the pond under the mountain is dingling, there is a bridge on the right side of the pond directly to the cave of the summer mountain, the cave is deep and cold, even in the hot summer, people step into the cave, Also refreshing. Fall: mainly rockery stacked with yellowstone, because of the cultivation of red leaves chicken feet, you can see the scenery of autumn maple leaves even in summer. The "Baoshan Building" on the mountain connects the summer mountain and the autumn mountain, making the autumn garden more attractive. Winter: with the Xuanshi piled mountains as the characteristics, when facing the light, the light is shining, the backlight is quiet and white, and the wall chiselled 24 windy holes echo, rendering a "north wind whistling snowy light cold" winter chill. At the same time, the mountains and stones are dotted with jagged wax plums and southern sky, yellow flowers and red fruits, and extra-enchanted trees, adding a touch of bright color to the winter garden. In short, the four seasons of Yangzhou garden have their own unique characteristics, and each season is worth a visit. Whether it is the vitality of spring, the cool and pleasant summer, the red leaves of autumn, or the silver wrapping of winter, can make people linger.

Youyou bamboo forest, the landscape corresponding, the garden set off the elegant Chinese garden landscape, slowly walk quietly to see, experience the garden design and the careful layout of the ancients. Yangzhou's beauty and history from the Slender West Lake from the garden. Geyuan should be a must-check place. Several morning tea houses outside the door can be tasted. Everyone feels different in taste, and it is also considered to experience Yangzhou characteristics!

Geyuan is the residence of the salt merchant Huang Zhixuan. He has been the general manager of two salt merchants, known as the huge rich in business, and his house halls are continuous and difficult to count; guests are like streams and domestic servants. The model fully shows the five-way mansion of "Fu, Xu, Shou, Xi, Cai" in the heyday of Huangjia, showing the financial resources and luxury of Yangzhou salt merchants. The most essence of the rock rockery in the garden, using natural stone similar to the original stone, is made of artificially stacked; The back garden has restored the four-time flowering techniques planted by the gardener in the year of white skin pine, golden willow and so on. There are also various activities during May 1st, and the overall is good.
