Without visiting the garden, how can one appreciate the full spectrum of spring? | Nanyuan of Taicang

🌸 The essence of spring is in the garden. Visit Taicang, stroll through the gardens, avoid the crowds, and why not enjoy the pleasure? 📚 Nanyuan, during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, was a garden where the chief minister Wang Xijue enjoyed plum blossoms and chrysanthemums, covering eighteen acres. In the early Qing Dynasty, his grandson Wang Shimin expanded the garden and planted more trees, but it was later destroyed in the wars. 📅 In 1998, the garden was reconstructed according to historical drawings and plans, restoring original features such as the gatehouse, Xiu Xue Tang, Xiang Tao Ge, He Mei Xian Guan, and the long corridor. 🌟 Highlights: 1.
