In recent years,"Fireworks under Yangzhou in March" has become a must-visit poetic destination for people who love to travel. This self-driving tour in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, on the one hand, the travel time was chosen in the good season when the flowers were in full bloom; on the other hand, the main destination was specially set in Yangzhou. I specially arranged a few days to walk there, dance with Yangzhou's history, culture and beautiful scenery, appreciate the unique charm of "Fireworks under Yangzhou in March", and gain a lot of beauty and touching. At the same time, it also makes up for the shortcoming that although he has been to Yangzhou more than once, he has not yet visited the poetic day of March fireworks.

He Garden has the reputation of "the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty". The buildings in the garden combine Chinese and Western, and are connected by complex corridors. The layout is full of layers and consists of three main components: Jixiao Villa, Pianshishan House and Western-style Building. He Garden is not large in area, and tourists can reach anywhere in the park through the complex corridor. He Garden has two gates: the east gate and the south gate. Tourists enter and exit through the east gate, and the south gate is not open to the public.

Green bamboos are planted all over the garden. Because the bamboo leaves are shaped like the word "ge", it is named "ge" garden. The Geyuan can be divided into three areas: the northern bamboo viewing area, the central garden, and the southern residential area. Compared with other famous gardens, the essence of Geyuan lies in the rockery and stone stacking art based on the four seasons. Different stones are stacked to form the four scenery of "spring, summer, autumn and winter". The rockery in the four seasons has its own characteristics, but every place is full of clever ideas. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, cycle again and again, bringing all things, mountains, rivers, moon and stars to this world, creating a secluded spiritual space.
