The pavilions and waterside pavilions of Yuyuan Garden

On January 26, 2024, Yuyuan Garden was originally a private garden in the Ming Dynasty, and was recognized as the 'crown of famous gardens in the southeast' in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Yuyuan Garden has a typical Jiangnan garden style, reflecting the artistic style of 'quiet and beautiful, exquisite and exquisite' of the southern gardens in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Yuyuan Garden is deep and winding, and the leaky windows, small courtyards, and rockeries often serve as barriers to the transition of the landscape space in the garden, blocking the visitors' sight to a certain extent. Visitors who just enter the garden gate can only vaguely appreciate a corner of the scenery in the garden. If they want to see the complete appearance of the mountains, pools, pavilions, and pavilions in the garden, they need to go around many times. The characteristics of Yuyuan Garden: changing scenery with every step, compact layout, and many changes. When people walk in the Yuyuan Garden with variously shaped window holes and doors on the walls on both sides of the corridor, it is like swimming in a painting. The mountains in Yuyuan Garden are based on Jade Linglong and Dajia Mountain, and the water is based on Lotus Pond. Jade Linglong, one of the three famous stones in Jiangnan, is about one foot high, exquisite and transparent, with many holes all over the body, with the beauty of wrinkled leakage and thinness, and it is the best in stone. With Wanhualou as the main scene, Long Wall as the feature, and Nanshan as the background, Hexu Hall and Bishan form the starting point, and the space is cramped. Going further east into the Qifuting, Jingyixuan forms a transition space for the elegant interest of mountains and waters, leading people into Dianchuntang and Hexutang.
