Nantong Shuihui Garden | The ceiling of Nantong tourist attractions in my mind is seriously underestimated

| The ceiling of Nantong tourist attractions in my mind is seriously underestimated. After the brilliant restoration by Chen Congzhou in the 1990s, Rugao's Shuihui Garden has risen to become a representative garden in the central Jiangsu region. The moat water of Rugao converges in the garden, nourishing the ancient city and making it the best scenic spot in the city. The main peak of the core area, Xuanlei Peak, is stacked with yellow stones, with a steep and far-reaching mountain range, laying the foundation for the garden's landscape; the surrounding soil is piled up as a mound, winning with a flat and distant momentum, echoing the main peak, with a continuous and uninterrupted feeling. On the soil mountain, bamboo and trees are lush, and a side of the water is stacked with rocks to form cliffs, with green plants covering it, giving a sense of seclusion in the gully. The foot of the mountain is bordered by a rough slope to the stream, pierced by flowing water, as if it were a scene of a winding stream. The charm of a landscape garden lies in the meaning of mountains and rivers. If the mountain has veins, it is spiritual; if the water is deep and flowing, it is alive. Shuihui Garden is a mountain with a water character, with scattered buildings in the middle, which enlivens the Ming-style landscape garden. In addition, Shuihui Garden integrates the characteristics of Yangzhou and Suzhou gardens in its architecture, reflecting the integration characteristics of the Jiangnan inland area. Shuihui Garden, built in the late Ming Dynasty, became famous because it was once the hideaway of Dong Xiaowan, one of the 'Eight Beauties of Qinhuai', and Mao Pijiang, one of the 'Four Gentlemen of the Late Ming'. The garden covers an area of about 270,000 square meters, integrating poetry, literature, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, antiquities, and quyi into one garden. It is composed of national key cultural relics protection units such as Shuihui Garden, Shuiminglou ancient architectural complex, ancient Danyuan, Nifenglou, Yiyuan, China Rugao Longevity Museum, Lingweiguan, zoo, amusement park and other scenic spots and attractions. Not only can you appreciate the architecture and reflections in the water in Shuihui Garden, but you can also play and visit the museum in the park, which is worth a visit. In recent years, Shuihui Garden has been continuously expanding and renovating, and the design of the scenic area is also worth appreciating. The water area surrounds the pavilions, and you can also take a boat tour to watch the lotus in the water. There is even a plant area in the scenic area, where the flowers, plants, bonsai, etc., make this Shuihui Garden vibrant. Not only does it retain the artistic atmosphere, but it also creates a garden-like scenic area, which is definitely one of the must-visit attractions in Rugao, the hometown of longevity.
