Wisteria Memories at the Ancient Vine Garden - A Visit to the Ancient Vine Garden

Shanghai Parks | Ancient Vine Garden The ancient vines in the Ancient Vine Garden refer to the wisteria planted by the poet Dong Yiyang during the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, which is said to be over 470 years old. After seeing the beautiful scenery of the ancient wisteria in full bloom online, I immediately took three subway transfers to reach the Ancient Vine Garden. However, due to our shallow fate with the wisteria, the flowers had already faded, leaving only lush green leaves covering the trellises. To see the flowers, one must wait until next year and can only stroll around the garden for now. The Ancient Vine Garden is quite small and can be toured in half an hour. In addition to the ancient wisteria, the garden also plants some wisteria flowers, which are now mostly past their blooming period, with only a few clusters of flowers remaining on the wall at the entrance. The garden's rockeries, ponds, pavilions, bridges, corridors, gazebos, and towers are all built in the style of ancient architecture. At the same time, the garden houses a collection of ancient relics, such as the octagonal stone well railings from the Song Dynasty, the coiled dragon ancient base, the Ming Dynasty carved flagpole stone, the Qing Dynasty single and triple stone archways, and the granite flat bridge from the Republic of China era. The entire garden design and construction present the style of ancient gardens in the Jiangnan region and are worth a visit. Address: No. 148 Lincang Road, Minhang District, Shanghai Transportation: Line 5, Wenjing Road Station
