Photos of Jinyuan Park

Also known as Jingyuan Garden and Yunjia Garden, it was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It lasted for five years and has become "near garden". The owner therefore called this garden "near garden". It is a garden with a very typical Jiangnan style. Although the near garden is only a few acres in area, it has an ingenious conception, exhaustive painting principles, beautiful mountain and flower paths, and is more like a cute little bonsai, which condenses the essence of Jiangnan gardens. The landscapes, flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions in the garden are fine and elegant, reflecting the artistic conception of "everywhere in a light language". Looking at the landscaping of its gardens, the pattern is good, simple and generous. Most of the buildings, such as pavilions and towers, are scattered around mountains and rivers, and they pay great attention to the appropriateness of proportions. The "Xiye Thatched Cottage" in the north is built by the water and is the place where the host entertains guests. In the southwest direction, there are "Tianxiang Pavilion", "An Lewo" and "Deyuexuan" near the pool water. Going further north is the "Autumn Water Pavilion". Going all the way, there are "Void Boats", "Rong Knee Residence", and trails going back and forth. There are 30 pieces of famous book stone embedded in the east side corridor wall.
