The ancient Yi Garden is beautiful in winter

The ancient Yi Garden is also one of the well-known Ming and Qing dynasty gardens in Shanghai, with its pavilions, terraces, towers, and pavilions scattered in an orderly manner, and the small bridges and flowing water fully demonstrate the characteristics of the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. When winter comes, in the slightly cool winter, the ancient Yi Garden is really beautiful. Parking around the ancient Yi Garden is convenient, making it very suitable for driving here. I parked my car in the parking lot on Guyi Garden Road, and it was just a few minutes' walk from there. The ticket price is 12, and I remember that seniors over 60 years old can enter the garden for free with their ID card, which is very user-friendly. The first thing you see when entering the garden from here is the winding corridor, and after exiting the corridor, you can see the exquisite layout of the garden. The Wulao Peak, which is piled up with rocks, resembles five immortals of high virtue playing chess and enjoying tea together, very lifelike. The pavilion appears half-hidden in the distance, with a unique charm. Walking along the gravel path, the view suddenly opens up and you reach the heart of the lake and the Nine-Turn Bridge. Standing in the lake pavilion, although there are no large lotus flowers at this time, the surrounding scenery is still captivating. In the distance, the calm water surface, the blue sky and white clouds, and everything around are reflected in the water like a colorful oil painting. Nearby, fish are playing, and water birds are frolicking, sketching a vivid picture that is fascinating. The stone horse by the lake used to be very famous, just like the current popular photo spots, and it seems that many people can find photos of themselves riding on it at home. The highest point in the garden, the Quejiao Pavilion, and the large grass screen face each other across the lake. I remember that as a child, I loved to shuttle between the two, sometimes climbing up to the Quejiao Pavilion to look into the distance, and sometimes chasing and playing on the lawn... Time has changed, and now the ancient Yi Garden seems even more beautiful. Although there are no flowers blooming in profusion this season, with more than 20 kinds of color-leaf trees in China changing their attire one after another, this place has become a new horizon of beauty. The ginkgo is definitely the protagonist of this season, with the golden ginkgo leaves and the mottled tree trunk complementing each other under the sunlight, making it even more romantic; the red maple is also not to be outdone, with layers upon layers a bit flamboyant, each leaf now so red that it intoxicates the heart; the garden full of green bamboo is still clear, and this green color in winter brings people an incomparable sense of comfort... This winter, the ancient Yi Garden may not have the fragrance of a full garden, but it does not lack touching colors. Given time, when the plum blossoms in the garden bloom, it must be an elegant picture of fragrance assailing the nostrils, and if you are lucky enough to encounter a heavy snowfall, the scene of searching for plum blossoms in the snow should be even more beautiful. This winter, the ancient Yi Garden is really beautiful Guyi Garden
