Qiuxia Garden

Qiuxiapu exceeded my expectations, truly worthy of being one of Shanghai's five major gardens. As soon as you enter the main gate, you will see the main hall of Jiading Chenghuang Temple. The main hall, built in the Ming Dynasty, is a double-eave hip roof building, with golden bricks on the ground, surrounded by ancient cypress and stone carvings, and the sense of history is overwhelming. Then you can enter the winding path from both sides of the Chenghuang Temple to reach the garden part of Qiuxiapu. There is a map on the back of the ticket for reference (see Figure 16). - 【Main attractions and photo spots】 ① Chenghuang Temple Main Hall Smoky, towering ancient cypress, flying eaves and dougong, wood carvings and stone carvings. ② Peach Blossom Pond Reflection and Ginkgo The reflections here are very photogenic, whether it's trees or buildings. There is also an ancient ginkgo on the rockery next to it, the leaves have completely turned yellow. ③ Qingjing Pond Red Leaves Around the pond are the famous red leaves of Qiuxiapu. The red leaves photographed in the soft light of morning or evening are more beautiful. ④ Bi Lu Xuan and Shu Yu Zhai Leaky Window Looking out from the leaky window, there are bamboo, rockery, etc., which is also a major feature of classical garden design. The so-called 'bamboo brings autumn scenery to the small window'. ⑤ Flower shadows, bamboo shadows, tree shadows, beautiful shadows Chen Congzhou's 'Garden Taste · Talking about Shadows': Chinese garden landscapes are both virtual and real, and the beauty of the virtual is often more moving than the real. 'Flower shadows press heavy curtains' 'Clouds break and the moon comes to play with flower shadows'. - 【About Qiuxiapu】 It is a municipal cultural relic protection unit in Shanghai. It was established in the 15th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1502). The main part was originally the private garden of Gong Hong, the Minister of Works in the Ming Dynasty. There are pavilions, towers, gardens, winding paths, lush bamboo, low fences, and rockery caves in the garden. There are 48 scenic spots in total. The layout is compact and wins by cleverness. Although some buildings no longer exist, you can still see the ingenious conception of the entire garden. The current Qiuxiapu is a combination of Gong's Garden, Shen's Garden, Jin's Garden, and Chenghuang Temple.

I want to share the beautiful moments I find in life with you every day. The autumn in Shanghai is getting stronger, not only with the burnt yellow plane trees, golden ginkgo, but also with red, orange gradient maple leaves. I want to share with you the autumn maple leaves of Qiuxia Garden on November 22 this year. Although it is the beginning of color change, it is already very beautiful. Qiuxia Garden should be considered one of the autumn maple ceilings in Shanghai. There are many different varieties of maple trees planted here. Whenever autumn comes, the entire Qiuxia Garden will become colorful. The maple leaves of Qiuxia Garden this year have begun to turn red. Although it is not the reddest time now, there are many colors, red, orange, yellow gradient, and ginkgo leaves all over the ground. Although the day I went was a rainy day, it was still incredibly beautiful. The photos were taken yesterday, and the maple leaves will be redder and more beautiful after a while. It is expected that the red maple can last until mid-December.

Digging for lesser-known scenic spots, I finally found Jiading Qiuxiapu, where there is no crowding. The experience of visiting the park during the peak travel period in the afternoon of the fourth day of the lunar new year was off the charts! I also caught a wave of blooming red plums, how delightful! - During this Spring Festival holiday, it's too hard to find a scenic spot without crowding! The ancient towns I usually like to visit are basically shoulder-to-shoulder at this time. - I arrived in Jiading a bit late in the afternoon and only visited Qiuxiapu and Zhouqiao Old Street. There are not many highlights in Qiuxiapu this season. Without the buff of autumn red leaves, there are significantly fewer visitors, which is a rare tranquility. A few blooming red plums, although not many, are a surprise. The plum blossoms near the Suihan Pavilion should all bloom in the next week or two, which is a good time to enjoy the plum blossoms. - 【Tour Tips】 Address: Navigate to Jiading Qiuxiapu Parking: Parking in front of Qiuxiapu or the nearby RT-Mart supermarket Surroundings: Walking distance to Jiading Confucius Temple, Huilongtan Park, Zhouqiao Old Street (Bamboo Carving Museum, Wang Daxin's Former Residence), Jiading Museum

Qiuxia Garden is a famous classical garden in southern China, located at No. 314 Dongda Street, Jiading Town, Jiading District, Shanghai. Qiuxia Garden is a unique Ming Dynasty garden, formed by the merger of three private gardens: Gong's Garden, Shen's Garden, Jin's Garden, and the City God Temple. The layout of Qiuxia Garden is exquisite and the environment is elegant. It is small and exquisite, and the changes in scenery and color are not great, as if it is covered with a faint autumn meaning, which makes people full of poetic and picturesque imagination. Qiuxia Garden, together with Songjiang Zuibai Pond, Shanghai Yu Garden, Nanxiang Ancient Yi Garden, and Qingpu Qu Water Garden, are known as the five major classical gardens in Shanghai, and it is the oldest garden among the five gardens.

Qiuxia Garden tickets are 10 yuan, and there is a small path inside the garden that leads directly to Jiading Museum, which can only be entered in one direction and cannot be exited from the museum. As soon as you enter the park, there is a City God Temple, where there is free incense, and you can also scan the code to buy your own incense candles or red cloth strips for blessings. The park's landscape and buildings are very compact, and there are not many people on weekdays, so it's very comfortable to stroll around. Along a small path, I saw several small toads the size of a fingernail cap, hopping past in the soil and grass, so cute. Picture 4 is probably a banana tree that is bearing fruit. There is a recent oracle bone script exhibition in Jiading Museum, which ends at the end of July. The environment in the museum is also very good, and it is comfortable to see the exhibition with few people.

I last visited Qiuxiapu when I was a child, and I went there for a stroll during the National Day holiday to avoid the crowd. The entrance fee is 10 yuan, the garden is small and quiet, and the scenery should be better in late autumn. Next door is the Jiading Museum, across the street is Zhouqiao Old Street, and a further 500 meters walk will take you to Jiading Confucius Temple and Huilongtan Park.

I originally planned to stay in the Autumn Xia Garden at the end of November, taking advantage of the strong autumn atmosphere, to visit the green maple and yellow ginkgo. Yesterday I went to Kunshan for a gathering and returned to Shanghai by subway this morning. On the return journey, I studied in Jiading for a long time and decided to explore it first. As expected, the time has not come, there is no red, no yellow, just green. Today's journey also completes the collection of Shanghai's five major classical gardens.

When it comes to deep autumn, most parts of the country have started a colorful painting style, with forests dyed in layers and landscapes like paintings. Returning to Shanghai, I always want to find some classical colors, so I think of Jiading's Qiuxia Garden - this garden can represent 'Once autumn comes, Jiading becomes a beautiful city'. Qiuxia Garden, one of the five major gardens in Shanghai, 'Qiuxia' is derived from Wang Bo's 'Tengwang Pavilion Preface' 'The falling sunset and the lonely bird fly together, the autumn water and the long sky are the same color', which embodies the original garden owner's wish of 'not falling into the blue sky'. It is formed by the merger of three private gardens from the Ming Dynasty, Gong's Garden, Shen's Garden, Jin's Garden and the City Temple, with a total area of 45.36 acres. The garden is divided into four scenic areas: Taohuatan Scenic Area (formerly Gong's Garden), Ningxia Pavilion Scenic Area (formerly Shen's Garden), Qingjing Pond Scenic Area (formerly Jin's Garden) and City Temple Scenic Area. The garden has pavilions, towers, beautiful pools and winding paths, dense forests and bamboo, artificial mountains and strange caves, compact layout and ingenious workmanship. There are gardens in the garden, and there are scenes outside the scene, known as 'urban mountain forest'. The autumn color of Qiuxia Garden comes from the red of the chicken claw maple. There are many chicken claw maples concentrated around the Suihan Pavilion. They are planted by the water. Several trees are deep red and light yellow. The spread branches and leaves can shade half of the pool. Walking in the autumn garden, there will be two emotions. One is autumn thoughts, the beauty of the coldness of the rain hitting the residual lotus, the withered lotus stems, the withered banana leaves, and the falling willow leaves, which makes people sad, which is often referred to as 'since ancient times, autumn is lonely'. Another is autumn drunk, the maple fragrance dyed red, the ginkgo is bright yellow, the autumn leaves are quietly beautiful, the tree shadows are mottled, making people 'drunk and don't know the way home'. Walking in Qiuxia Garden, most of them are 'autumn drunk', orange and green, it is really 'a good view of the year, you need to remember'. Qiuxia Garden
