Four "World's Best" Titles: The Exquisite "Best Garden of the Late Qing Dynasty"

He Garden, also known as Jixiao Villa, was built by He Zhidao during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. The name of the garden is derived from the lines "leaning against the south window to express pride" and "climbing the east hill to relax" by Tao Yuanming. The garden is known as the "Best Garden of the Late Qing Dynasty" and is famous for its unique architectural style that combines both northern and southern Chinese elements, as well as Chinese and Western elements. It has been used as a filming location for many TV dramas, including "Dream of the Red Chamber," "My Fair Princess," "Green Green Grass by the River," and "Wrong Carriage, Right Groom." 📍Address: No. 66, Xuningmen Street, Guangling District, Yangzhou 📝Tour Route: Enter through the east gate - see "Jixiao Villa" - East Garden (Peony Hall, Boat Hall, Rockery, and Study Building) - West Garden (Shuixin Pavilion and Butterfly Hall) - Experience the Double Corridor - Garden Courtyard (Yuxiu Building, Nanmu Hall, and Horse Riding Building) - Pianshi Shanfang - Exit through the south gate 👍️Must-visit Attractions: World's Best Corridor: The Double Corridor is a two-story corridor with a total length of over 1,500 meters, connecting the entire garden. World's Best Window: The flower windows of the Double Corridor in He Garden are ingeniously designed, with twelve different flower windows offering different views. Each window offers a "painting in the window." Each flower window corresponds to a window in Yuxiu Building, making it a must-visit photo spot. Visitors can take photos from Yuxiu Building facing the flower windows for a unique view. World's Best Pavilion: Shuixin Pavilion, located in the center of the pond in the West Garden, is the only water theater pavilion in China.
