Named after its owner, Mr. He Mingshi
It is a complex that blends Lingnan gardens with Western-style buildings
Consisting of a protective building, a small Western-style building,

These all reflect the unique style of Lingnan architecture
Baroque European arches,
The small Western-style building reflects the characteristics of Western architectural art.

Although it is not large in scale, it is niche and has very few tourists
It is very worthwhile to slowly appreciate the ancient buildings and take photos

Tips for visiting and taking photos:

Great places to go for the May Day holiday! Check out these less-crowded attractions!
678 Cultural Street + Ming Stone Garden, it's about a 40-minute drive from Guangzhou.
678 Cultural Street is decorated in the style of the 70s and 80s, featuring galleries, coin exhibitions, and cafes, among others. There are also local snacks nearby, so you can eat while you stroll. It's a good alternative for those who want to take their kids out on the weekend but don't want to go to malls or amusement parks.
Ming Stone Garden, if you don't want to go to Qinghui, the garden is not large but the architecture is distinctive. The garden was established in the late Qing Dynasty, with both Chinese 'he-er' houses and Western Baroque-style mansions, making it a great spot for photos!
