Shanghai Grand View Garden

The Grand View Garden in Qingpu by the side of Dianshan Lake has been a cultural landscape treasure since the 1980s. Inspired by 'Dream of the Red Chamber', it delicately sketches a series of dreamlike garden scenes. The establishment of landscapes such as the Grand View Tower and the Happy Red Court is a clever interpretation of the essence of the original work. Taking full advantage of the unique water resources of Dianshan Lake, the garden ingeniously integrates large water areas into its design, making the entire garden resemble a lively ink painting, brimming with vitality and energy. Strolling through it, one feels as if they can travel through time and space, immersing themselves in the world of the Red Chamber as depicted by Cao Xueqin.
