He Garden, the first garden of the late Qing Dynasty in China!

If you have time, you must go and see it. After all, the styles are different and each has its own merits. If you can only go to one, then I recommend He Garden, after all, the world's first corridor of He Garden really made me lost when I was turning. Ge Garden and He Garden are both 4A scenic spots, with Ge Garden covering an area of 24,000 square meters and He Garden 14,000 square meters. There are parking lots for self-driving! 【Style】: Ge Garden is a typical Chinese garden, famous for its bamboo and stacked rockery architecture, and is praised by the garden master Mr. Chen Congzhou as a 'unique example in the country'! He Garden combines Chinese garden scenery with Western architectural style, fully exploiting the function and charm of corridor architecture. The 1500-meter-long complex corridor is known as the world's first corridor. There are many celebrities living in He Garden, which is also the filming location of many films including Journey to the West and Dream of Red Mansions. 【Detailed introduction of Ge Garden】: It is a private garden mansion built by Huang Zhiyun, the general merchant of the two Huai salt industries in Yangzhou during the Qing Dynasty, on the basis of the original Ming Dynasty 'Shouzhi Garden'. It is named for its bamboo planting and is famous for its four seasons of rockery. The biggest feature of Ge Garden is the construction of the four seasons of rockery made of bamboo stone, lake stone, yellow stone, and Xuan stone. The main body is bamboo stone, and the feature is the use of stone for dividing peaks. The twelve zodiac stones symbolize spring, Taihu stones symbolize the scenery of Jiangnan in midsummer, yellow stones highlight the upright mountains in autumn, and the white snow stones highlight the cold feeling of unmelting snow in winter, each with its own characteristics, expressing the poetic and picturesque 'spring scenery is gorgeous and like a smile, summer mountains are green and like a drop, autumn mountains are clear and like makeup, winter scenery is bleak and like sleep'! 【Main attractions】: Baoshan Tower, Qingyi Pavilion, Congshu Tower, Zhuqiu Pavilion, Yiyu Pavilion, Miju Gallery 【He Garden】: Also known as Jixiao Mountain Villa, it was built by He Zhishao during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and is known as the 'first garden of the late Qing Dynasty'. He Garden is divided into four parts: East Garden, West Garden, Garden Residence, and Pieshi Mountain House. Pieshi Mountain House is located on the south side of the East Garden and is a mountain stacking work by Master Shi Tao! The 1500-meter-long complex corridor of He Garden is a rare sight in Chinese gardens. It is divided into left and right, high and low, surrounded by mountains and water, and enters the room, forming a full-range three-dimensional landscape and all-weather tour space, demonstrating the beauty of the circular change of Chinese garden art and the cleverness of the four directions. The plant configuration in the garden is also ingenious. The plum, osmanthus, and white pine next to the half-moon platform, the peony and peony at the foot of the north mountain, the red maple on the south mountain, the plane tree and ancient locust in front of the courtyard, and the banana next to the building, etc., not only have the layout of the four seasons of the year, but also the changes of morning and evening in a day. 【Filming works】: 'Journey to the West', 'Dream of Red Mansions', 'Green Grass by the River', 'Marry the Wrong Bridegroom', 'Tears in the Sky', 'My Fair Princess 3: Heaven and Earth', 'Qianlong Dynasty'
