written in front

Li Bai said,"Fireworks fall under Yangzhou in March." Yangzhou has now become a spring travel destination in the eyes of Chinese people. My thoughts about Yangzhou come from an old friend who once studied at Yangzhou University. He often tells me about Yangzhou's beauty." The world only knows that Jiangnan is good, but I only want to retire in Yangzhou,"he said, which also aroused my deeper yearning for Yangzhou City.

On the first day of the third lunar month, when I walked out of the high-speed rail station and saw the "Fireworks March Road", I really walked into Yangzhou in my dream.

Yangzhou in my impression is full of red flowers and green willows, romantic and elegant. How beautiful should it be when Emperor Qianlong came to Jiangnan during his six travels? With these curiosity, I started a three-day and two-night spring trip to Yangzhou.

He Garden, the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty

Yangzhou Heyuan is located on Xuningmen Street on the bank of the Ancient Canal in Yangzhou. The owner of the garden is He Zhiqian, who resigned from office and went into seclusion during the Guangxu period. It was originally named "Jixiao Villa" because the owner's surname was He and was accustomed to being called "He Garden".

Walking into the courtyard in the afternoon, you will find the fireworks in March, and a century-old jade flower tree is in full bloom. Tourists are checking in to take photos in front of the flowers in Yangzhou City so as not to miss its most beautiful flowering period.

Different from the traditional private garden, the front house and the back garden, He Yuan integrates the house into a garden where rocks and water are stacked. It restores corridors and rocks to create a garden. It is as if you have accidentally entered a paradise or a fairy cave. It is amazing.

He Garden has four firsts in the world: the world's first window, the world's first pavilion, the world's first mountain, and the world's first beauty gallery. It is also the location for the new version of Dream of the Red Chamber. It is a scene step by step, a wonderful place, and the photography output rate is also extremely high ~

The He family ancestral home in Wangjiang, Anhui Province. It is a place surrounded by water on three sides and supported by mountains on the other. The owner, He Zhiqian, had an indissoluble bond with the boat since he was a child, so he created a classic work with the meaning of drought, garden and water in forest art. -Boat Hall.

The ground in front of the boat hall is paved with water ripples with tiles and pebbles, giving people a sparkling sense of water. When you are in the hall, you look around. The glass on the four walls is transparent, as if you are on a deck.

Traveling south along the Fudao Road, you will enter the Heyuan Garden Residential Part, as if you have traveled from the modern era. The He family did not simply copy Western buildings, but used the advanced building materials such as concrete and cast iron railings at that time. They were not afraid of sun and rain, and incorporated Chinese elements. The railings were carved with the words "prolong life." Chinese words "prolong life." The use of cast iron railings can make the roof cornice shallower, only half of that of ordinary eaves, so that it does not block the line of sight or the sun. It is an excellent place to bask in the sun in winter and enjoy the moonlight in autumn.

There is also a historic Internet celebrity Qionghua tree in the house. When you are tired, you can sit under the tree and enjoy the shade, or quietly feel the past life of the He family and the rise and fall of the present, and I can't help but have mixed feelings.

The compatible pattern of the north and the south and the combination of Chinese and Western structural styles are like a picture of nature and humanity. It is worthy of being the "first garden in the late Qing Dynasty" in the eyes of historians. Yangzhou is the most worthy place to spend half a day slowly watching and savor it.

An isolated case in China, a four-season rockery-Geyuan

? The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are the best in the world, and the moon is in Yangzhou. The second stop of your Yangzhou tour is to one of the four major gardens in China? Geyuan.

The Geyuan is famous for its stone-stone art. The rockery in the spring, summer, autumn and winter is formed by stacking bamboo stones, lake stones, yellowstone, and Xuan stones. It integrates the rules of gardening with the theory of landscape painting. It is praised as "an isolated domestic example" by Mr. Chen Congzhou, the master of the garden.

Geyuan was originally a private garden owned by the Yanghuai Salt Industry Merchants Group in Yangzhou during the Qing Dynasty. The park is not only full of green bamboos, but also its representative work. Fireworks leave in March, and a cherry blossom tree slowly falls on the edge of the grassland and in the lake. In it, it combines landscape paintings and garden attainments, making it beautiful.

Among them, the "Four Seasons Rockery" is the most famous. There are green spring rockery, beautiful and graceful summer rockery, autumn rockery full of red maples, and winter rockery full of snow. You can see the rockery scenery of all seasons in one day, which is extremely beautiful.

Fireworks and enjoying spring in a garden in March is really a pleasant thing. Every step you take, every frame and stroke is the artistic conception.

Ride a crane down Yangzhou and wander Slender West Lake

In the spring of March, the most moving scenery in Yangzhou is nothing more than Slender West Lake. Just a thin word, its weak softness, is enough to stir people's hearts.

Walking around the long embankment with the willows, walking through the Wuting Bridge, walking through the Wangchun Tower, I picked up a bit of the elegance and tranquility of "riding a crane down Yangzhou". Here, I felt the long-lost tranquility in my heart.

When you come to Slender West Lake in March, there are still countless jade flowers exuding their fragrance. The greening is so good that pigeons can run everywhere and will not be afraid of tourists. What a harmonious relationship between man and nature.

There are many words to praise Slender West Lake, but I like this one best. "The flowers and willows on the two embankments are all subject to the water, all the way to the mountains." It is written about the most famous lake in Yangzhou City, Slender West Lake.

The graceful and winding clear water of a lake, coupled with many beautiful scenery such as Hongqiao Range Rover, Long Dike Spring Willows, Hepu Smoked Wind, Four Bridge Misty Rain, Spring Terrace Bright Moon, and Thousand Pine Pines, form a beautiful and natural three-dimensional picture.

Along with the tens of thousands of tourists who flock to us, walking under the green willows by the lake and on the 24th Bridge, this comfort and leisurely feeling is the beauty unique to Yangzhou.
