Everyone says that Yangzhou is beautiful in the fireworks of March
But the city of Yangzhou in winter also has its unique charm, with fewer people and a comfortable atmosphere
The first time I came to Yangzhou Heyuan to play, the lotus flowers have been blooming one after another, and the photo with 🪷 is very popular. The biggest feature of Heyuan is the thousand-li corridor, the only one of the Jiangnan gardens. Walking on the second floor corridor is very cool. Hejia is also a talent, contributing to the country and the nation. It also makes the garden more valuable!
Very happy to play, the tickets are not expensive, the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh and pleasant, people feel very comfortable and happy, refreshing, there are many people traveling, there are beautiful flowers and grass
Came on April 24, 2024. Heyuan is in the southeast corner of Yangzhou City, named "Ji Wuthering Villa", which was built by the late Qing minister He Yu after returning to Yangzhou, known as the "first garden in the evening Qing." Heyuan is not as big as a garden, but the scenery in the garden has its own characteristics. The evening Qingqing is the period of social change of the wind and clouds. Heyuan has different historical periods of scenery, such as: the stone mountain house "the first mountain in the world", is the painting world giant stone Tao monk stacked stone "the lonely book"; The 1500-meter re-route corridor known as the "first corridor in the world" is called the prototype of the Chinese overpass by industry experts; the Yuxiu Building and European-style corner building with the style of the early years of the Republic of China, etc.... It is recommended that you can follow the guide and patiently take a good look at every detail of Heyuan. Heyuan is not far from Pishi Street. It is recommended to arrange a half-day time to play together; there is also a well-known local restaurant in Yangzhou at the entrance of Heyuan, which can be used as a place for lunch or dinner.
As a famous garden in the late Qing Dynasty, Heyuan really reflects the combination of Chinese and Western. There are foreign buildings and gardens, and the promenade connects all the spaces together. It is very thoughtful and creative. I imagine that people living in it at that time must be very comfortable. No matter how rainy or snowy, they can shuttle freely in the promenade. This time I met the bloom of magnolia, and I couldn't help but take a photo of the magnolia with only ten days of flowering. There are also Shi Tao's stacked stones, and the moon in the water. This poetic space is very intoxicating.
Very worth a visit. We visited the three main components of Wuthering Heights, Pianshi Mountain House and Foreign Building. This private garden of Chinese and Western fusion is rigorously designed and laid out as "one man and nature", which is breathtaking. He family is a hundred years Wang family, the garden owner He Yu (dao) later generations of talents, we are familiar with the Chinese Academy of Sciences academician, theoretical physicist He Yu academician is its fourth generation of heirs.
Experience the essence of the beautiful scenery, feel the gardener's careful layout, clever corridors, exquisite flower windows, the combination of Chinese and Western aesthetics, all reflect the design of the Chinese garden masters and the craftsmen's skilled craftsmen, it is a highly recommended classic
