Shen Garden is known for its poignant love story
Originally a private garden of the Shen family during the Song Dynasty, Shen Garden became a world-famous 5A scenic spot because of a tragic love story written by the great poet Lu You. It is said that during a spring outing, Lu You encountered Tang Wan, his wife who had been divorced for over a year. Despite their unresolved feelings, they could not be together, and Lu You wrote the famous 'Phoenix Hairpin':
Lu You: 'Red soft hands, yellow rice wine, the city is full of spring with willows along the palace walls. The east wind is harsh, joy is thin, a heart full of sorrow, years of separation. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
Tang Wan: Spring as before, but the person is thin, tear stains on the red silk are transparent. Peach blossoms fall, idle by the pond pavilion, although the mountain pledges remain, the brocade letter is hard to send. No! No! No!'
It seems they were both literary geniuses and deeply in love!
Although the garden is not large, it is also elegant. Shen Garden mainly consists of three parts: the ancient relics area, the East Garden, and the South Garden (Lu You Memorial Hall and Lianli Garden), forming ten scenic spots with meaningful names such as 'Endless Clouds of Sorrow', 'Poetic Realm of Love', 'Startled Swans on Spring Waves', 'Remnants of Old Walls and Regrets', 'Lonesome Crane's Sorrowful Cry', 'Green Lotus Reflecting the Sun', 'Willows of Resentment by the Palace Walls', 'Walking on Snow to Ask the Plum', 'Fragrance of Books and Poetry', and 'Magpie Bridge Conveying Affections'.
Outside the wall, the blue water stirs the east wind. A thousand years away from love, still in this garden. Very good, there is a scene, a love, a culture, a history, it is worth visiting, a few steps is a scene.
Say big or small garden scenic spots, the scenery is still good, there is a poetic and picturesque. There is also a Luyou Memorial Hall inside, don't miss it when you pass by, you can go in and see the life of Luyou.
Very atmospheric ancient garden, as soon as people walk in, they immediately feel relaxed and happy, as if the whole person is in a fairyland, the beauty of the garden is also sighing! The garden is very big and worth visiting again!
Friends who like Yue Opera and historical stories can go and see. The stage is half-outdoor, and the performance is integrated into the film plot elements. Only some doubts are that the actors really sing? It feels like they are just acting.
I have always liked the story of Lu You and Tang Yu. The performance of Shenyuan Night depicts the story of Lu You and Tang Yu very well, so that people who have not heard the story can also immerse them. Unlike the well-regulated performance, there are many unique interestingnesses. The only pity is that Zhao Shicheng is a very good person. In this story, Zhao Shicheng is almost not described, but the story of Lu You and Tang Yu is still very complete, and it is worth seeing a performance. The scenery of Shenyuan is also beautiful, with green trees and quiet forests, small bridges and flowing water. You can also do a boat, it is the kind of Shaoxing characteristic boat, the experience is very good.
Shen's two gardens have different styles, and stroll in the garden to experience leisure and fun outside the city. The surrounding public houses are slightly incongruous. Since they are not during the holidays, there are fewer people and more scenery, and the blue waves in the sun are rippling and the scenery is full.
OK attractions! There are not too many people going to the first day of the New Year. It is very big inside. It is really a big family! Rockery loft pavilion! There is also a stage! It is really good to have such a house in this location! Come visit again next time!
