Dongrong Garden

The Dongrong Garden on Dongguan Street in Yangzhou is also called Lu Mansion. Here, it was once the residence of a salt merchant and also the home of Shen Congwen's mother-in-law Lu Ying. Li Hongzhang's niece was the mistress of this cultural preservation unit.

As long as you visit Dongguan Street, Dongrong Garden can be seen. Now it has been transformed into a tea house with a large facade. There are girls at the door wearing skirts with Yangzhou characteristics that allow you to taste tea for free. At first it was thought that marketing hurried past. Later, I took a closer look and found that this was the grandmother's house of Shen Congwen's wife Zhang Zhaohe. As shown in the picture, there are basically no customers in the store, you can go to the first entrance to visit, and it is not bad at the first entrance without charge.

Dongrong Garden on Dongguan Street in Yangzhou is a very elegant place for tea tasting. A place related to Zhang Zhaohe (Shen Congwen's wife). It's just that the commercial atmosphere at the door keeps many people out of the door, which is a little regrettable. This is a place where you need to calm down and savor carefully. You don't need to drink tea, you can enter and understand, as long as you are willing to enter, merchants are welcome.

Dongrong Garden is a large mansion of a certain salt merchant. It is indeed powerful and exquisite. Take a closer look, the wall tiles are very particular, every few pieces, there is the imprint of the producer. But I think the commercial atmosphere at the door is too strong.

Dongrong Garden, recalling history, is located at the east end of Dongguan Street.
