Changshu Yanyuan | The Eastern garden aesthetics with ancient wintersweet trees is so beautiful

🌟Highlights: 1️⃣Yanyuan has two beautifully shaped wintersweet trees, one of which is over two hundred years old and grows on the Seventy-two Stone Monkey rockery. The small yellow wintersweet flowers bloom densely among the old trunk and twisted branches, contrasting with the grey walls and black tiles of the garden buildings, adding vitality and dynamism to the bleak winter garden. 2️⃣There is also a wintersweet tree full of flowers next to the Yangu Valley corridor, shaped like an open fan, which is eye-catching whether viewed from afar or up close. It reminds one of the poem praising the wintersweet flower: 'The horizontal branches are naturally thin like jade, and the broken gold is particularly fragrant.' ❤Reasons for recommendation: The small wintersweet flowers, fragrant in the ancient alleys of Changshu, take a walk in Yanyuan in the old city, the fragrance is floating, and you are inadvertently dyed with the cold and secluded fragrance of wintersweet. Finally understood, on a cold winter day, when you meet a woman in the small alleys of the south of the Yangtze River, you can always smell a faint elegant fragrance, which turns out to be the fragrance of wintersweet. No wonder the beauty of the women in the south of the Yangtze River has always been so memorable. 📷Wintersweet photo spots 1️⃣Seventy-two Stone Monkey rockery ♦️Enter the Yanyuan ticket gate, stand under the corridor and look up to take pictures, framing the black tiles of the corridor eaves, wintersweet flowers and the sky in the lens. ♦️Climb up the Stone Monkey rockery, the twisted branches of the ancient wintersweet tree and the garden buildings with pink walls and black tiles reflect each other, a casual shot, whether in color or the beauty of ancient charm, is just right. 2️⃣Yan Valley corridor ♦️Walk into the Three Charming Room and take a picture of the wintersweet tree from the flower window, including Yan Valley and the wintersweet tree in the lens, the composition method of Chinese Eastern garden aesthetics. ♦️Climb up the Yan Valley rockery, frame the wintersweet flowers and the black tiles of the southern houses in the lens, which is very layered and has a southern charm.
