Personal Suggestions
Go to Slender West Lake early, it is recommended to watch the sunrise, it's really beautiful.
If you are not in a hurry, you can choose a multi-day tour to slowly experience the slow life of Yangzhou
The scenic spots are relatively close, it is recommended to ride an electric bike or bicycle, a taxi is only about 10 yuan, which is very affordable
The museum is very photogenic, you can spend a little more time there
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
Heyuan is a popular attraction in Yangzhou. The place is very large. It takes about two hours to take a complete circle. The scenic spot is like a museum, very cultural. The scenic spot is also very intimate and helped a lot.
Small and exquisite gardens are not big, but there are two floors and you can even swim twice. The window view is also good. There are a lot of people late, it is best to arrive early. If the weather is too hot, you can visit the park during the day and go to the Slender West Lake in the evening, which is relatively comfortable.
The first garden in the late Qing Dynasty, well-deserved reputation, ingenuity, is the precipitation of the Oriental gardening skills, the integration of East and West architecture and ideas. He's a family, Houde's load, science and education to rejuvenate the country. He Jiajia style, worthy of praise. For the benefit of the family, Fuxuan is long.
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
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.
The scenery is really beautiful, although the garden is not big, but there are many eyes, close to feel the prosperity and development of a family. It is very suitable for taking pictures in the ancient style. The gardening is in the Republic of China style, Hanfu, and everything to wear. There is even wedding photography here. I feel that there is no off-season here. There are many thieves on weekends. It is really difficult to want others to not be in the mirror.
When I came to Yangzhou Heyuan, known as the "First Garden of the Late Qing Dynasty", the deepest impression was the exquisiteness of this garden. I felt that the designer had carefully carved every foot and every inch of it, like a famous painting from the hands of the master, even if it was left blank, it was considered. It is a blank with heart, but never an unintentional blank. For example, the wave shape of the ground in front of the boat hall with tiles is really a god's pen. Although there is no real ship, there is a small boat with the artistic conception of the wave. It is really a matter of clapping! And the garden in the long, two-story corridor, or called the compound corridor, can indeed be seen as the prototype of modern three-dimensional crossover, strolling along the corridor leisurely, that is really a step, the scenery is different, in it, really lingering. Although it is a tourist, in the noise of the surroundings, you can also find a moment of tranquility at the corner of the corridor. There is a section of the road on the second floor with five or six leaf window. The designer's intention seems to be to increase the perspective effect, and now it is the photography background of all beautiful tourists. Surrounded by the surrounding corridors, there is a pavilion in the middle of the water in the garden. It is said to be the stage of the year. Under the conditions of no modern audio equipment, with the reflection of the surrounding pool water, the singing on the stage can not only spread farther, but also sound more beautiful. I personally think that this design is really the finishing touch of the whole garden. When you come to Yangzhou to play, the first thing you think of is definitely the Slender West Lake, but Heyuan should also be a must-have place!
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.
