Guangzhou's new landmark with an ancient style, a model of Lingnan gardens, is simply magical

"Ten miles of red clouds and a bay of water, eight bridges and sixteen pavilions." The new museum at the Guangzhou Cultural Center, relying on the magnificent central axis of the new city and the landscape of the Haizhu Lake water system, has become an urban living room with Lingnan ecological characteristics and cultural heritage. The new museum has a construction area of about 54,000 square meters and covers an area of about 142,000 square meters, ranking first in the nation. This is a Lingnan garden rich in charm. Pavilions, towers, winding paths; elegant halls and corridors; clear waters and stones, free and bright. It integrates seamlessly with the rippling Haizhu Lake, naturally. Check-in spot 1: Central Pavilion The tallest and most iconic building in the museum, about 39 meters high, in the style of the Han and Tang dynasties, echoes the Canton Tower along the city's new central axis. From the observation deck, you can see scattered pavilions and towers, beautiful corridors and flower windows, pleasing to the eye. Check-in spot 2: Public Cultural Square Looking around, the architectural colors, tones, and structures exhibit 'symmetrical beauty,' unity and harmony, embodying the beauty of balance and stability. Check-in spot three: Main Building of Quyi Garden: The main building of Quyi Garden is a three-story pavilion, with a cross-ridge roof on top and a four-slope roof below. In terms of overall style and scale proportion, it captures the charm of the Han and Tang dynasties' 'bird-like transformation and radiant flight.' Check-in spot four: Arches, Cave Windows (Public Cultural Center, etc.) The visual space extends through arches, not only offering layered beauty but also filling people with anticipation for 'exploration.' The charm of the cave windows lies in the 'cave' rather than the window, presenting a scene at a glance, a unique hole. Check-in spot five: Cool Pavilion (Public Cultural Center, etc.) The museum has 'sixteen pavilions,' each with its own characteristics. Among them, the corridor of the Public Cultural Center (performing arts rehearsal area) has long columns, dappled light and shadows, and swirling tree silhouettes. Check-in spot six: Calligraphy Garden Pavilion, Tower, and Corridor In the Calligraphy Garden, which lies beside mountains and water, you ascend through the climbing corridors, as if in the words of the poet Xin Qiji: 'Fearing to step into a painting of clouds and mist, I lock the window to keep the flying scenery from escaping.' 1.
