I have visited the Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai, and here is what I think of it.
The Yuyuan Garden is a masterpiece of classical southern Chinese gardens. As soon as I entered the garden, I was attracted by its exquisite layout and beautiful scenery1. The garden 巧妙地融合了假山、怪石、曲水以及各式各样的精巧建筑物,营造出了一种清幽秀丽、精致玲珑的氛围1.
One of the things I liked most about the Yuyuan Garden was the Grand Rockery, which was designed by Zhang Nanyang, a master of rockery stacking in the Ming Dynasty1. Made of yellow stones from Wukang, Zhejiang, the rockery is a famous work of art in the history of Chinese garden rockery 堆叠1. It has various forms and looks very natural, as if it were a real mountain.
Another highlight of the Yuyuan Garden is the Jade Exquisite Stone, which is known as one of the "Three Great Strange Stones in the South of the Yangtze River"1. The stone is very strange in shape, with many holes and crevices. It looks very beautiful when the light shines through it.
In addition to the natural scenery, the buildings in the Yuyuan Garden are also very distinctive1. The halls and pavilions are of various styles, with carved beams and painted pillars, showing the superb craftsmanship of the ancient working people. There are also many ancient trees and famous wood in the garden, which add a lot of historical and cultural flavor to the garden1.
Overall, the Yuyuan Garden left me with a very deep impression. It is not only a beautiful garden but also a precious cultural heritage that reflects the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people.
I've visited the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou. It's really a fascinating private - garden. As soon as I stepped into it, I was attracted by the elegant pavilions, winding corridors and beautiful rockeries. The combination of water and plants creates a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. The lotus ponds in summer are especially charming, with lotus flowers blooming and green leaves swaying gently in the breeze. Every corner of the garden seems to tell a story, showing the profound Chinese gardening art and the wisdom of the ancient people. I was deeply impressed by its unique beauty and cultural connotations.
