The Huizhou style is not only about ancient towns, but this private Huizhou garden is stunning!

🏡✨ Bao's Garden is a private garden next to the Tangyue Archway Cluster, originally the private garden of the famous Huizhou merchant Bao Qiyun during the Qing Dynasty. To call it a garden is an understatement; it's more like a park, as it's really vast and requires some time to walk through. Bao's Garden even has sightseeing cars within the area, which shows how grand the scale of the garden is. 🏡✨ Located beside the unparalleled Tangyue Archway Cluster, Bao's Garden focuses on Huizhou-style bonsai as its theme, integrating seamlessly with the archways, and represents the heritage of a Huizhou merchant family. The garden primarily features rock and stone bonsai, with plants and trees as a secondary element, and is divided into many smaller gardens, each with its own unique charm. 🏡✨ Compared to the most famous gardens in China like the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lion Grove Garden, Bao's Garden appears more grandiose, which may also align with the Huizhou architectural culture of adapting to local conditions. After all, the space here is much more open than in the city of Suzhou. Bao's Garden is a garden art that combines classical Huizhou style and Huizhou bonsai, and it is also the largest private garden in the country. 🏡✨ In Bao's Garden, there are not only exquisite bonsai but also pavilions, towers, and streams that are beloved by people from the south of the Yangtze River. This place is not just Bao's private garden; it is also the essence of Chinese gardens. Visiting here is not only about experiencing history and culture but also about rediscovering the beauty of life, letting the heart settle in the countryside, blending the body with the rural scenery, and under the sunshine, feeling the beautiful scroll of history written.
