Visiting Shen Garden in autumn, it's a great time for taking photos

It can be said that Shen Garden, located on the south bank of the Pujiang River and the south of Lupu Bridge, is the youngest antique garden in Shanghai and even in the whole country. As a garden within the Expo Cultural Park, it gathers the essence of Jiangnan gardens, which is charming and diverse, and is a good place worth visiting for tourists. Shen Garden in Shanghai only covers an area of five hectares, but it can be divided into eight blocks. Although it's not huge, it's unique and exquisite. In ancient China, literati liked to give poetic names to garden landscapes. Similarly, Shen Garden also has eight scenes: 'Drunk Red Reflects Rosy Clouds, Ancient Ko Late Crossing, Jade Hall Full of Spring, Pine Stone Spring Flow, Melodious Heavenly Fragrance, Autumn River Sunset, Misty Rain Penglai, Lotus Wind Fish Joy.' Tourists linger among them, exploring the 'ancient' and seeking the secluded, with a different kind of joy. Inside Shen Garden in Shanghai, the laying of paths in the garden, the stacking of pond banks, and the stacking of rockeries, no expense was spared, using a large amount of Taihu stone materials. As far as I know, in most of the ancient gardens in China, a lot of expensive Taihu stones are used to build the garden. Shen Garden can be considered the first one, which is really rich and willing to spend money. As autumn deepens, the garden is already full of colorful leaves. Red leaves match the ancient buildings, which is very beautiful. You can see the crowd taking photos and checking in, shuttling among them, which is very enjoyable. Middle-aged and elderly ladies with good figures, wearing tight cheongsams, showing curvy waists; those wrapped in Hanfu are also not a few, but this antique clothing is very suitable for this ancient garden. Shen Garden, the 'ancient garden' in modern gardens, is a dazzling pearl in the Expo Cultural Park.
