Excellent
Shen Garden, located east of Shaoxing, was originally the private garden of a wealthy merchant surnamed Shen during the Southern Song Dynasty, also known as "Shen's Garden," and has a history of over 800 years. In the third year of the Shaoxi reign of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You visited Shen Garden and composed a poem, thus bringing the garden into historical records. In the twenty-fifth year of the Shaoxi reign, after failing the imperial examination, Lu You visited Shen Garden again and happened to meet Tang Wan. Sadly, he inscribed a poem, "The Phoenix Hairpin," on the wall. In the twenty-sixth year of the Shaoxi reign, Tang Wan visited Shen Garden again, glimpsed Lu You's inscription, and was deeply moved. She then composed a poem, "The Phoenix Hairpin," which was inscribed on a stele in the garden. Shen Garden is divided into three main parts: the historical site area, the East Garden, and the South Garden, featuring attractions such as the Lonely Crane Pavilion, the Double Osmanthus Hall, and the Phoenix Hairpin Stele.
Shen's Garden attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Shen Garden is the romantic garden location immortalized by the Song Dynasty poet Lu You in his famous tragic poem, "The Hairpin of the Golden Phoenix", addressed to his star-crossed lover (and ex-wife), Tang Wan. When people come to the Shen Garden, they do so not only to appreciate the classically elegant and historic garden but also to reflect on the burning love Lu You felt for his wife. During daylight hours, visitors come to marvel at the garden's many beautiful buildings. Once night falls, however, Shen Garden's Shaoxing Pavilion hosts all sorts of not-to-be-missed performances.
