The elevator took us to the top of the mountain. A spacious landscape road followed the mountain. On the basis of retaining the existing old buildings and fresh vegetation, it formed a mountain with tortuous natural boundaries.

Garden Expo Garden Fu

Beautiful terraced gardens and hilltop Indigo Hotel managed along the mountain

Come to the main road leading from east to west in the Garden Expo Park. Follow the main road east.

A small garden scene with four seasons begonia as the main character

The tender crabapple after the rain

I went out in a hurry today, and I forgot to bring my guide map for the Expo Park. A little confused at this claw intersection.

After asking the staff in the park, I chose this garden road paved with stone slices to move forward. You can reach Suyunhui Valley through the woods in front.

cross the tracks

The road made of this material makes the soles of your feet feel elastic. The green on both sides makes your eyes feel comfortable.

The road draws beautiful curves, and the flowers and plants on both sides of the road combine with the right landscape design to form small scenery everywhere.

This lovely fluffy yellow-green vegetation is called Sedum sedum

I came to an open square, surrounded by mountains, and the scattered pavilions and buildings made me lose direction again.

one. Yangzhou Garden: Cigarettes in Jiufeng

Without a map reference, I was like a headless fly. When I discovered a courtyard here, I rushed over eagerly. Fortunately, there was no mistake. This is Yangzhou Garden among the 13 gardens.

It is a fate that the first garden I saw by mistake was Yangzhou Garden! Yangzhou gardens are a unique style garden between northern gardens and southern gardens. A few years ago, I walked around Yangzhou for a month due to work. I also visited every corner of Yangzhou and had a deep love for Yangzhou gardens.

Yangzhou Garden uses Yangzhou's disappeared Jiufeng Garden as a material,

Based on relevant documents and pictures, the garden expresses the peak stone characteristics and architectural characteristics of Jiufeng Garden.

The "Jiufeng Garden", which was once awarded the title of Emperor Qianlong to write poems, is a masterpiece of Yangzhou gardens. The inspiration for the reconstruction of Yangzhou Garden came from this. The garden has restored distinctive peak stones, and the scenery in the garden expresses the characteristics of Yangzhou gardens that are stacked with stones.

The winding corridor serves as both a partition and a connection

Every building in Yangzhou gardens is designed to be very exquisitely, as if it were a beautiful work of art. Mountains, water, flowers, grass, trees, are exquisitely laid out, and various colors complement each other, just right. The rocks, the exquisite architectural carvings show craftsmanship.

The pavilions, towers and pavilions are arranged in an orderly manner, with white walls and black tiles setting off each other, forming beautiful garden landscape paintings

Yijia Reading Hall

Looking through the window, the reading hall turned out to be a canteen.

In addition to the architectural and garden characteristics of Yangzhou Garden, its flower and garden are also very unique. Flowers and trees gardens and architectural gardens are intertwined. There is me in you, and there is you in me. Each flower is a world, and a corner is a scenery. It is beautiful and graceful.

There was actually a Yechun Tea House deep in the garden. It was a little trance for a moment, making people feel like they were in Yangzhou in spring. Take a look at the beautiful scenery here and enjoy your leisure by eating Yangzhou snacks.

Walk through Yangzhou Garden, experience the peak stone characteristics of Jiufeng Garden and Yangzhou's garden art characteristics, and leave satisfied to find the next encounter.

Out of Yangzhou Garden, back to the open area of the square, there is a view of gravel water.

The ore is still the same stone, but when combined with the water features and various vegetation designs, it has a different charm.

The vicissitudes of gray and brown stone have a combination of hardness and softness with the combination of watery water and green green.

The bamboo landscape designed here is also different from elsewhere.

This building is a resort hotel at a glance

Finally, I saw the road sign, and it was as if I saw hope. I ran in the direction of Suzhou Garden.

two. Suzhou Garden: The waves ask for water

Crossing the small bridge is Suzhou Garden

Both are gardens, but the taste of Suzhou Garden and Yangzhou Garden is different. As soon as you enter the garden, the ground is covered with tiles made of stones and the scenery of rocks piled up with stones. The rocks are not high, simple and natural. Rocks are stacked on top of each other, and vegetation is dotted on the rocks, forming a complex wilderness.

Rocks and rocks build natural stone windows, through which a garden scene with paintings is produced.

Rock and rocks are piled one after another, and the road is among the rocks. Follow the road and walk through the mountain and rocks gardens.

Head south through the rocks to Koi Lake on the signpost

The Canglang Pavilion on the shores of the Koi Lake is built next to the water. You can only reach the Canglang Pavilion by walking through the connecting bridge.

This is a real-life version of Canglang Pavilion in Suzhou

The Canglang Pavilion on the hill is a stone structure, small and exquisite.

View the scenery from the pavilion, and green water surrounds the mountains and cliffs. Suzhou Garden has mountains on the north, lakes on the east, and a high platform on the south side.

The terrain here is open, facing the steep cliffs of the mountain and a rippling clear water. The pavilions not far away each have their own posture, as if standing quietly waiting for us.

From another angle, on one side are pavilions high in the mountains, and on the other side are the corridor in the garden with the water and the pavilion at the end of the corridor. A picture of scattered heights is formed according to the natural mountain terrain.

The winter scenery compares with the summer scenery in the picture above. Which season do you prefer?

Draw the end closer, and the shape of the pavilions becomes clearer

The winding complex corridors in Suzhou Park follow the water. The corridor creates two shapes within a not too long length, which shows the designer's good intentions.

Standing on this Canglang Pavilion, we walked around the pavilion and couldn't wait to capture its beauty from every angle.

Leave the Canglang Pavilion and turn right to the pavilion corridor. Go through the pavilion corridor to the pavilions and pavilions on the hill that call us.

Looking back at the Canglang Pavilion from this angle, the cliffs, and the vast lake water, the artistic conception of "the Canglang Waves Ask for Water" comes to mind.

Mountains and rivers and gardens are scattered with rocks, clear springs, and semi-pavilions. The rockery is arranged along the wall, with lingering interest.

Promenade is a major feature of Suzhou gardens

There are flowered windows every few meters on the corridor.

The flowered windows connect the scenery inside and outside the window, and you can see the scenery through the flowered windows.

The pavilions and pavilions in Suzhou gardens are in various shapes

Walking in the garden or in the corridor, or viewing in the pavilion, or walking on the road, or walking through the mountains... Suzhou Garden is like an ink painting, with elegant colors, exquisite and delicate, and thought-provoking.

Looking up in the garden, because I didn't bring a map, I didn't know which garden in Jiangsu these lofty and magnificent buildings were. It's fun to keep a little unknown while traveling. I was a little curious and was eager to get close to it and see what happened.

But the road still has to be taken step by step

The exquisiteness of Suzhou Garden can be seen from the road paved with stones

Stop from every angle and look carefully. The prospects, mid-range and long-range are all very particular.

Exit Suzhou Garden from Pingjiang Residence. We will head to the high mountain platform.

Looking up vertically, you will feel its height. The cornices on the pavilions and pavilions are agile and conspicuous.

High gables built with stones form a spectacular city.

picking up the stairs

three. Zhenjiang Garden: Wu Pass wins

Above the hill, the platform is open, with a small garden scenery in the middle of the platform, and various pavilions and pavilions are arranged in an orderly manner around it.

Youting stands alone

There are double pavilions standing in rows and connected by arch bridges. On the west side of the multi-view building, there is a red bridge connecting it to the pavilions in Nanjing Garden. From this perspective, Hongqiao is like a mountain gate.

There is a typical Jiangnan architectural style house with a row.

The name of this double-decker building with painted beams and cornices depends on the lintel-the multi-view building. So this is Zhenjiang Garden. The real version of the Duojing Building is located behind the Ganlu Temple in Beigu Mountain in Zhenjiang City. It is one of the "Three Famous Buildings of the Yangtze River" in ancient times and is on the same footing as the "Yueyang Building" on the shores of Dongting Lake and the "Yellow Crane Tower" in Wuhan City. The multi-view building was founded in the Tang Dynasty. Its name comes from the poem "Multi-view Hanging Windows" in Linjiang Pavilion by Li Deyu, prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The building is a two-story building with corridors and four roads, and all aspects of scenery. A multi-view building was built in Zhenjiang Garden, and now we can see its shape without going to Zhenjiang.

There is an exhibition of Zhenjiang vinegar in the multi-view building. A building allows us to perceive Zhenjiang's history and Zhenjiang's specialties.

A dignified and upright house

It was nearly dusk at this time, and the lights were on, and the warm lights warmed my heart.

Entering the house, you will see the scenery around the door

The pavilions are surrounded by a courtyard. The small garden scenery of pools and rockery in the courtyard has typical Jiangnan characteristics.

There is a small pavilion above the platform on one side of the platform, which is Linjiang Pavilion. A few inconspicuous steps raise our vision and allow us to see further.

In fact, the hill is a big observation platform. Standing here and overlooking the Suzhou Garden where we were just in is quite exquisite. Different shapes of houses, pavilions, and pavilions. The corridor is connected end to end to form a beautiful curved surround, surrounding the pool and the garden of rocks. The corridors in the Suzhou Garden are surrounded by water and hanging with vines, giving the beauty of simple and quiet mountains and rivers.

Winter scene from the same picture

Overlooking various garden attractions at your feet

Climbing high and overlooking, you will see the Jiangnan area of Suyunhui Valley at your feet dotted among the mountains, forests and green waters. Between the flowing water series, each city exhibition park depends on the terrain, with scattered pavilions.

The scenery in front of us is the Suzhou Garden where we had just been in. The garden is surrounded by mountains and rivers, restoring the shock and grandeur of Canglang Pavilion.

The tenderness of Koi Lake and the vicissitudes of the cliffs brought us a shock. The mountains are undulating in the distance. Where is the sky rail transit heading? The front and rear scenes, as well as the left and right scenes, show the artistic conception of landscape painting as "flat, far-reaching and lofty". There are not many pavilions in Zhenjiang Garden, but because of the height and location it occupies, it has excellent views and excellent scenery. I am surprised why Zhenjiang Garden occupies such a good position. Coming out of the park, I saw a minibus waiting on the road to pick up employees. The driver enthusiastically introduced us how to visit the park. I asked him about my doubts. He told me that Ningzhen culture is that Ningzhen does not separate from each other. But in fact, this statement did not solve my doubts. Following his instructions, we went on to visit Nanjing Garden. After I visited, I found the answer to the question.

Four. Nanjing Garden: Hualin Seeking Fragrance

At one end of Hongqiao is the multi-view building of Zhenjiang Garden

On the other end is the Painting Tower on the east side of Nanjing Garden. There are corridors connected on both sides of the Painting Tower, and on the northwest side is the highest Jingyang Building in the entire park, forming a scene of uneven pavilions and hidden buildings.

The solid wooden door of the yard is very textured. Entering the courtyard, you can travel through the rich history of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The three-story main building, Jingyang Building, comes into view. Nanjing Garden is based on the disappeared Jiankang Hualin Garden, recreating the Jinling Imperial Garden that was at its peak during the Six Dynasties. According to reports, the predecessor of Jiankang Hualin Garden was Wuguo Palace Garden. Hualin Garden lasted for more than 300 years and accompanied the entire Six Dynasties. It can be called the first royal garden in the Six Dynasties. Today, this famous building, which has been annihilated in history for more than 1400 years, has reappeared in Jiangsu Garden Expo Park, which makes people feel filled with emotion.

Jingyang Tower is the tallest building in Nanjing Park and uses a lot of natural teak wood. The plaque "Hualin Seeking Fragrance" hung upstairs in Jingyang was written by Sun Xiaoyun, chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association. The building inherits the architectural characteristics of the Six Dynasties period, with carved beams and painted buildings. I really wanted to go up and see the scenery farther and higher, but was stopped by the staff. I was also told that the people walking upstairs are fire inspection staff. Now the staff are very dedicated and are still at work at six or seven o'clock.

Jiamu leans against the Tianyuan Pool in front of Jingyang Tower. It is simple and beautiful, which reproduces the scenery of the Jinling Imperial Garden that was at its peak during the Six Dynasties.

With Jingyang Tower and Tianyuan Pool as the core, mountains, forests and beautiful trees as beautiful scenery, the simple and comfortable building reproduces the culture of the Six Dynasties that lingered in history and were light and clear.

Lianyu Pavilion is a complex building and rich in art. The pavilion displays various styles, exquisite and vivid intangible cultural heritage Nanjing velvet flowers.

View the double buildings and corridors along the mountains from this angle of Nanjing Garden.

On the south side of Nanjing Garden, on the bank of the mountains are Xuzhou and Suqian Gardens, which represent Xu-Han culture.

Five. Suqian Garden: Singing on Songtai

On the west hill of Xuzhou Garden is Suqian Garden.

Climb several mountain roads and enter Suqian Garden.

Suqian is represented in the park with the theme of wine city culture.

The garden has the characteristics of natural simplicity of northern Jiangsu gardens. The garden is piled up with soil to form mountains with the height difference of the surrounding terrain. The building courtyard is well-defined, and between it and the mountain form a courtyard where "people are drunk without alcohol".

The simple bluestone brick wall house has a rigorous left-right symmetrical structure, and the cornices on the herringbone roofs on both sides are raised high, as if they want to lift the entire house into the sky.

six. Xuzhou Garden: Shishan Qiyu

Xuzhou Garden is high in the mountains and is backed by the south cliff of the exhibition garden, making it quite imposing.

The entire garden is created from the Han Dynasty large-scale quarry site in Yunlong Mountain, Xuzhou. With the quarrying culture as its intention, through stone courtyards, water courtyards and corridor courtyards, the power and momentum of Han Dynasty art are combined with the simplicity and romance of early gardens to create a Xuzhou garden with deep ancient meaning and majestic momentum.

Walking during this, changing scenery is as if swimming through the long river of thousands of years of history.

Xuzhou Garden is a representative of Xuhan culture. Wearing Han costumes and walking here must have a sense of chivalry like walking through palaces in flying sand in the desert.

Xuzhou Garden is significantly different from the Jiangnan Garden we saw earlier. It is simple and atmospheric, and it is even more imposing when accompanied by the mountains.

Leaving Xuzhou Garden and walking down the mountain, we can see the scenery along the way, each step at a time. The scenery is different.

The Expo Park is built on the mountainous terrain, and the urban exhibition parks in the Suyun Valley are well-organized and have different styles.

To be continued, I was just a little tired, so I divided the trip and also had the garden scenery to share next time.
