Guhua Park

Fengxian hides a low-key garden with pavilions, towers, and late autumn in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is niche, it is said to be from the hand of garden design master Mr. Chen Congzhou. Here, there are both the ancient meanings of Jiangnan gardens and some modern park facilities such as boats and children's play facilities.

Guhua Park is located in the suburbs of Shanghai: Fengxian District, and is a free, less-known park in Shanghai. Although the park is not large, it is cleverly laid out with bridges, pavilions, terraces, towers, and pavilions densely distributed among the streams. The flowers, plants, and trees complement each other, forming a style characteristic of Ming and Qing architecture, giving people a feeling of simplicity, elegance, and tranquility. There are many scenic spots in the park suitable for taking photos, including the Late Qing Garden (Image 5), the First Bridge of Nantang (Image 6), Shuangting Bridge (Images 2, 3), and so on, among which Shuangting Bridge is the iconic landscape of the park. Shuangting Bridge, also known as the Tongxin Bridge, is where the literary and military champions met. They went from competing with each other to letting bygones be bygones, symbolizing unity and reconciliation. From a distance, the twin pavilions stand gracefully in the center of the bridge, like a beauty looking into a mirror over the lake. Strolling by the lakeside in the park, the willows sway with the wind, showing their graceful figures, and the reflection of Shuangting Bridge in the lake is clearly visible. The scenery on both sides of the road is well-arranged, making everything feel so beautiful and peaceful!

Super beautiful! Not too big or small, there is a lot to see and it won't tire you out. There are many lawns where you can sit and look at the sky for an afternoon, which is especially suitable for bringing children or npy to appreciate nature on weekends. The day we went was a lively yet tranquil Saturday, full of people but not crowded, with cute kids playing with bubble machines, netizens meeting up, and old men dancing in suits... Willows brushing the water, light reflecting the red flowers, algae at the bottom of the lake swaying aimlessly, time slows down at this moment. A familiar sense of leisure and tranquility quietly emerges. I slowly recognize that it seems like the days four years ago are waving at me. When I look back at these photos, there is a moment when I feel a snap in my body--the broken life and memories finally connect today.

Guhua Garden is located in Nanqiao City, Fengxian District, Shanghai. It is a garden designed by architect Chen Congzhou, who gathered the essence of Jiangnan gardens. Guhua Garden has a unique concept, with pavilions, towers, and buildings densely distributed among small bridges and flowing water, and flowers, grass, and trees interspersed, forming a garden with the architectural style of the Qingming Dynasty, giving people a sense of simplicity, elegance, and tranquility.

In the West Lake of Guhua Garden, when the autumn is in full swing, there is a row of colorful trees on the opposite side of the lake, which is a colorful background wall composed of pine trees, camphor trees, weeping willows, ginkgo trees, red maples, maple trees, and Hibiscus mutabilis. The breeze is coming slowly, and the water is calm. On the south bank of the West Lake, there is a stone slab bridge extending into the water, with Shui Xiang Pavilion, Shui Lu Pavilion, and Shui Ming Pavilion built on the bridge. These three pavilions are arranged in a product shape, so they are also called 'Product Pavilion', which is a highlight of Guhua Garden. Red maple, curved bridge three pavilions, colorful trees, play a picture of rich autumn colors, pleasing to our eyes.
