Guyi Garden

Having visited Yu Garden, I had no expectations for Guyi Garden, but it exceeded my expectations.

Shortly after entering the park, I was treated to beautiful music performed by three artists. If I hadn't just arrived, I would have appreciated the music for a while longer, letting my brain rest. It's such a beautiful thing to listen to music so quietly. I envy the three artists for doing beautiful things at such a young age. The park is not small, and not crowded. The beauty of the scenery is reflected in the pictures. I really like this peaceful escape from the city.

I kept hearing tourists say that the ticket was worth it. They entered the park at 3:40 and didn't want to leave until 6:00. I will come again when I have time.

Located in Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, northwest of Shanghai, Yi Garden was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Originally named "Yi Garden," it was inspired by the line "Green bamboo swaying gracefully" from the Book of Songs. In 1746, during the 11th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "Guyi Garden." It is one of Shanghai's five great classical gardens.

Guyi Garden is 21 kilometers away from the city center. It has six scenic areas: Yiye Hall, Xi'e Pond, Songhe Garden, Qingqing Garden, Yuanyang Lake, and Nanxiangbi. It is one of the oldest scenic spots in Shanghai.

A classic spot for photographing lotus and plum blossoms in Shanghai, this quintessential Jiangnan garden. The fragrance of flowers permeates the pavilions and towers. Tickets are 12 yuan. While Nanxiang may not be a popular destination, it's a great place to combine a visit with the nearby Nanxiang Ancient Town.

I also went to Guyi Garden once during the summer vacation. It was summer when I went there, and the lotus flowers there were in full bloom. Of course, the weather was also very hot. We all liked to pick lotus leaves and wear them on our heads. Of course, I was no exception. I picked a lotus flower and wore it on my head. When others saw it, they would say, "Haha, what a green child!" I was a little angry because I was not wearing a skirt, so I was not conspicuous and looked a bit like a boy.

The garden is beautiful and quiet. The roses are in full bloom and the hydrangeas are about to bloom. It's just too far away; it takes 25 minutes from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station without traffic.

Take a stroll during the autumn season and marvel at the beautiful scenery in the evening, which is like a landscape painting that makes you linger.

In summer, Guyi Garden has a lotus and water lily exhibition. It is a classical Chinese garden and worth a visit.

On the way to see the famous pyramid building in Huaqiao, we passed by "Guqi Garden". The scenery inside was quite nice. It was also very close to the ancient street of Nanxiang Ancient Town, and there were Nanxiang Xiaolongbao restaurants everywhere around it.

How to see the specific scenery in my picture~

It has the hallmarks of a Jiangnan garden, with a new scene at every step and winding paths leading to secluded areas. It's a pleasant place to stroll around at leisure, and the entrance fee is not expensive. However, if you're making a special trip here, it's probably not worth it. Unless you've never seen a Jiangnan garden before.

An exquisite Jiangnan garden, very large inside. Although it is winter, it is still very beautiful.

Every now and then I come to Guyi Garden and linger in the scenery.

Nanxiang Guyi Garden is a very ancient garden. It is located in Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, northwest of Shanghai.

The Guyi Garden in Nanxiang, Jiading, is probably the largest of the few surviving ancient gardens in Shanghai. It was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than five centuries. Metro Line 11 is located near the Guyi Garden, making transportation very convenient. It is also convenient if you drive. Parking is available in the parking lot across the street for five yuan an hour. I went to the Guyi Garden when I was young, but I didn’t have much of an impression of it. I just thought it was a small park. This time, I was surprised to find it was quite large, much better than the Grand View Garden in Zhujiajiao. It’s a real garden, and the 12 yuan ticket is a steal, making it very cost-effective. The cherry blossoms in the garden were in full bloom today, with bursts of cherry blossom rain. There are also facilities for children to play in the garden, and there is a bonsai area to the north. The small garden is quite good, not much worse than the Suzhou gardens. Very good.

Compared to the Suzhou Gardens, this one feels more like a park to me. Despite its size, the exquisite and sophisticated layout is quite different from the Suzhou Gardens. I wonder if it's a result of later construction or if it's just been there from the beginning. The garden is filled with interesting exhibits, including ancient pagodas and stone sculptures, fitness equipment, and a children's playground. Guyi Garden is also divided into several areas, featuring bamboo forests, bonsai, and stone sculptures. Lotus and water lilies are planted on almost every surface of the garden. Perhaps to enhance the atmosphere, the lotus pond sprays mist every few seconds, creating a ethereal, almost magical effect that evokes the image of a lotus fairy. It's quite beautiful, but unfortunately, the heavy rain later significantly diminished the effect of the mist, practically obliterating it.

When I visited, Guyi Garden was offering a special 6 yuan ticket price on WeChat. A leisurely stroll through the garden would take 3-4 hours. There's also a bamboo carving museum with some small antiques from other locations. The garden itself, with its diverse flowers and plants, is worth a look. It's a bit remote, far from the city center, but if you're staying in Shanghai, you could spend a day there relaxing and then enjoy some xiaolongbao (steamed dumplings). It's a pretty good itinerary.

So popular, so dazed, hahahahahahaha

It's a very beautiful place, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area. It's especially suitable for relaxing. It's quiet, listening to the birds singing and smelling the flowers, which makes people feel especially peaceful in their hearts.

It's a good place to relax on weekends, not many people, and the scenery is pretty good.

Very good, I feel it is better than the gardens in Suzhou, and there are more activities organized

Every year I go there to photograph the lotuses and make postcards. But each year seems to be getting less beautiful. While the scenery is getting more beautiful, the increasing fame has also led to crowds, ruining the tranquility of the lotus viewing experience. I miss the first time I went in at 5:30 to photograph the lotuses, with almost no one around, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Located in Nanxiang Ancient Town, Shanghai, Guyi Garden is one of Shanghai's most renowned gardens. Take Metro Line 11 to Nanxiang Station, then take Jiading Bus No. 111 across the street. Travel one stop and get off at the entrance to Guyi Garden. The fare is 12 yuan, with student and senior citizen discounts available with ID. The garden is divided into several sections, each with its own theme. The garden boasts a large expanse of water, and its most beautiful scenery is in July, when the lotus flowers bloom. Visiting early in the morning is recommended for admiring the lotus blossoms, a truly elegant experience.

[Refuse to be a Housewife 4] The lotus flowers are so beautiful when photographed, and paired with the lotus root dumplings from Guyi Garden Restaurant, they are really perfect for the occasion. Although the weather is hot, it brings a sense of coolness to both the eyes and the taste buds.

I went to take pictures of the lotus flowers before the lotus exhibition on June 29th. The flowers bloomed late, and there were fewer than at this time of year in previous years. However, it was relatively quiet before the festival, so I could calm down and take pictures slowly. I will go there again next week. I must see the lotus flowers every year, and Guyi Garden is the best choice.

I went there for a friend's company event, so I wasn't too excited. But once I got there, I was greeted by the beautiful flowers. The soup dumplings here were also really delicious—I just can't remember which restaurant they were from! The pavilions and towers evoke the flavors of Jiangnan.

The beauty of private gardens in Jiangnan is not large in scale, but the layout is exquisite and unique. The layout is not bound by the traditional symmetrical style. The architectural colors are elegant and light, with pavilions, terraces and corridors. It is very interesting to see the big in the small and the real in the empty.

I went there last Saturday, and it happened to be the Science and Technology Festival, so tickets were only 6 yuan per person. I couldn't walk all the way with my big belly, but there were plenty of places to rest, and there was a lot of shade, which was quite comfortable in the hot weather. The place is bigger than I expected, and I didn't walk all the way, so I went to the nearby Nanxiang Ancient Town later.

It's a fine garden, with an interesting layout and rich content. The only discordant odor is the occasional stench of mold wafting from a dark corner. Is this inevitable in gardens, or in parks in general?

The ticket to Nanxiang Guyi Garden is 10 yuan. We went there a few days before the Lantern Festival. The lanterns were all decorated, but we didn’t guess any of the riddles correctly. The plum blossoms were in bloom, and there were still quite a lot of tourists here.

The lotus season is very hot. It feels like the heat is pouring down on your legs when you cross the road. The waiting time for the bus from Gonghexin Road Bus Station is quite long, and the ride time is also quite long.

As one of the famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, it is certainly not as complex and exquisite as the Suzhou gardens, but it also has a charming wild charm.

The scenery is best in summer, and it may be the best place to appreciate lotus in Shanghai.

Personally, it is much more lovely than Yu Garden and the like.

It is known as one of the five major gardens in Shanghai. I have been there twice in total. I mainly took pictures of the ancient style. It is a garden with relatively few pavilions and towers. There are just flowers, plants, artificial rocks and the like. The scenery is obviously more beautiful in spring. There are lotus flowers in summer. The weather is hot. There is no need to go there specifically for out-of-town visitors. A casual stroll of about an hour is enough. People over 65 years old are free of charge, so there are more elderly people. The normal ticket price is 12 yuan, and the online ticket price is 10 yuan. Drinking water is provided at the door. There is no food for sale inside. There is only a place selling beverages and cold drinks.

With peonies in spring and lotus flowers in summer, the centuries-old Guqi Garden has a different design every year. Tickets cost 12 yuan, and it takes at least a few hours to complete the tour, but it's worth it!

Man-made landscape, nothing to say, the Nanxiang Xiaolongbao next to it is a pit

During the weekend, while it was raining, the summer lotus was in full bloom. I took a few photos and the summer heat went away.

Although the garden is small, it has everything, and the essence is concentrated

I love this pocket-sized Jiangnan garden. It's small, and you can explore it in under an hour. But it's perfect for a leisurely stroll, stopping to wander and savoring the classic charm. It happened to be drizzling the day I visited, which couldn't have been more poetic. Two must-dos in Nanxiang: the Ancient Street and Guyi Garden.

The garden in Shanghai's Jiading District is directly accessible from Nanxiang Metro Station, and right next to it is the legendary Nanxiang Xiaolongbao (small steamed buns). Actually, the Nanxiang Xiaolongbao here isn't particularly delicious, presumably because it's overcrowded, not carefully prepared, and not cheap. The reputation is what makes it worth it. The garden is neither large nor small, featuring mountains, water, pavilions, and towers, creating a truly elegant atmosphere. The lush vegetation and many beautiful buildings are also impressive. More importantly, during festive occasions, there are always events, where people gather to enjoy the flowers and water, chat and stroll, and sometimes enjoy some local snacks. The ultimate family reunion experience. This feeling of time is what we call leisure.

Regarding the time to travel to Guyi Garden, it is generally recommended to travel in spring and autumn, that is, from March to May and from August to October. As for transportation, the subway is recommended, which is the most convenient. Of course, driving is also a good way, which depends mainly on personal circumstances. You can take Light Rail Line 11 to Nanxiang Station, get off and walk west for 15 minutes to arrive, or take Nanxiang Bus 1 or Nanxiang Bus 2 from Exit 2 to arrive at Guyi Garden.

Tickets are reasonably priced at just 12 yuan (free for those over 70). During the Spring Festival, there are some added folk activities, such as making candy figurines, a comic book stall, shadow puppet shows, and lantern riddles. It's quite popular, and there's a children's playground. While simple, it's fun for the kids and satisfying for the elderly. It's a good value, but the water inside is a bit dirty.

Located in Nanxiang Town, it is a larger park that holds a lotus exhibition every year, bringing together a wide variety of lotus flowers, including rare varieties.

Guqi Garden is located in Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, northwest of Shanghai. Originally constructed during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the garden is 21 kilometers from the city center and covers 10 hectares. It is renowned for its five key features: lush green bamboo, tranquil winding waters, elegant architecture, couplets and poetry, and flower-lined stone paths.

I went to Guyi Garden in January 2015 to see the yellow plum blossoms. It was amazing! I had quit my job and was planning to move to my husband's city, so I went on a weekday. I remember there were a lot of grandparents singing and playing instruments, hahaha! Tickets were 15 or 20 yuan, if I remember correctly. It was a good value, and it was very quiet on weekdays. It wasn't too big, but not too small either. I spent three hours enjoying it leisurely, and I didn't stay long. The whole place was mostly covered in yellow plum blossoms, which is a perfect example of the place's elegance. There was also a beautiful bamboo forest! Everything was quintessentially the exquisite and delicate Jiangnan garden. When I went, some of the blossoms were in full bloom, some had already opened, and others were just beginning to bloom—it felt just right. I went alone and took advantage of the sunny weather to take a few stunning photos! Enough of the scenery, here are the pictures! There are quite a few yellow plum trees here, some quite large, but they're not spread out in huge masses, so be careful.

It's a bit of a walk from here to the nearest subway station. In Nanxiang, there are no longer many tall buildings on the road. It feels very comfortable and not crowded. It is definitely worth a visit when the yellow plum blossoms are in full bloom!

In addition, the bamboo in this picture is very special!

A relatively typical Jiangnan garden, it is considered a landmark in the Jiading area and can be reached by getting off at Nanxiang Station on Metro Line 11. The garden is relatively large in the house and it takes a while to walk around. The ticket price is 12 yuan. It is free to exercise in the morning before 8 o'clock or something, but I can't get up so early, so I didn't pay attention to it. There are peony exhibitions and lotus exhibitions every year during the peony and lotus flowering seasons, and the ticket price does not increase. So it is more cost-effective to visit during these two time periods. I went to see it during the lotus exhibition, and the pavilions and towers with the lotus flowers in the pond were really beautiful. There is a Guyiyuan restaurant at the door, which specializes in Nanxiang Xiaolongbao. I personally think it is similar to the ones sold outside. Now it is all done by outsiders, so the taste may not be as authentic as before.

Nanxiang's Guqi Garden is famous for the xiaolongbao (dumplings) shop in front of it, but every time I enjoy a delicious xiaolongbao, I always visit Guqi Garden. It used to be free of charge, but my most recent visit seems to require a ten-yuan entrance fee. Guqi Garden is a typical Shanghai garden, featuring rockery, flower beds, pavilions, teahouses, quaint houses, ponds, lakes, and a water bridge resembling a nine-curve bridge. Guqi Garden is particularly unique for its traditional performances, such as Pingtan (Chinese pingtan), Kunqu Opera, and other local Shanghai folk music, held at specific times and in various areas of the garden. These performances are truly worth appreciating. Tan Dun's "The Peony Pavilion" was also performed in Guqi Garden. Seeing Kunqu Opera, often called a living fossil, in such a charming setting is a perfect match. Guqi Garden is easily accessible, with Metro Line 11 providing direct access. In short, anyone who wants to understand Shanghai's culture and people should visit and experience it.

The garden is quite large and even more beautiful when the lotus flowers are in bloom. The water in the pond is so clear that you can even see the water plants at the bottom. With bridges, water features, and pavilions, it's a great place to relax.

It's bigger and more crowded than expected. Getting there is quite convenient; it's about a 15-minute walk from Nanxiang Station on Line 11. You could spend half a day there, and there's a free water dispenser at the entrance. The overall environment is quite nice, and it's a great place to enjoy the lotus blossoms in the summer. There's also a senior citizen activity center, where many retired people play music and sing, making it quite lively. If you're in Shanghai for a long time, you might want to stop by. If you're short on time, I wouldn't recommend it.

Nanxiang Guyi Garden is a great place to visit in Shanghai. Although it's quite far away, you need to take Metro Line 11 to Nanxiang Station. After getting off the subway, you'll see many newly opened shopping malls.

Then transfer to Nanxiang No. 2 bus and you will arrive at Guyi Garden in 1 stop. The ticket to Guyi Garden is very cheap. The ticket to parks and ruins nowadays costs dozens or even hundreds of yuan, while the ticket to Guyi Garden is only 12 yuan.

Reasonable price. Guyi Garden is actually quite large, much larger than expected. A stroll of 1-2 hours is definitely necessary. The garden is filled with pavilions, birdsong, flowers, and winding paths, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

When I went there, the Legend of the White Snake was being performed (it seemed like that), and there were many people sitting under the pavilion, looking very leisurely.

The garden is beautifully designed and the scenery is breathtaking. It's hard to believe that many gardens can compare to this one. Although it may not be very well-known, it's truly worth a visit.

I feel it is a very worthwhile garden in Shanghai.

Coming out of the garden, there are many Nanxiang Xiaolongbao restaurants on both sides. The prices are basically the same and the taste is not much different. It is a good place to solve lunch.

Built during the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, Guyi Garden boasts a history of over 480 years. Located in Nanxiang Town, Shanghai, it is one of the famous gardens of the Jiangnan region. Originally named Yi Garden, it draws its name from the Book of Songs, "Green bamboos swaying gracefully." Designed by Zhu Sansong, a renowned Ming Dynasty Jiading bamboo engraver, the garden, a ten-acre plot, was planted with bamboo and boasted elegant pavilions, terraces, towers, pavilions, and terraces. In the 11th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1746 AD), it was renamed Guyi Garden. The garden is divided into four scenic areas: Yi Garden (Old Garden), Flower-Fragrant Fairy Garden, Winding Stream with Crane Shadows, and Secluded Bamboos in the Mist and Moon.

The lush green bamboos of the ancient Yi Garden are a hallmark of the garden. In addition to the square bamboo, purple bamboo, and Buddha-belly bamboo, which were present when the garden was founded in the Ming Dynasty, there are over 50 varieties, including the small qin-silk bamboo, phoenix-tail bamboo, golden jade bamboo, filial bamboo, chicken-feeding bamboo, tortoise-shell bamboo, and arhat bamboo. The integration of bamboo with architecture creates a natural, tranquil, and beautiful landscape; the combination of bamboo with streams creates the artistic conception of "the graceful Yi Garden, the quiet shadows of bamboo, the misty temples, the towering stone buildings"; and the combination of bamboo with lake rocks creates vivid three-dimensional paintings of bamboo and rocks. The myriad forms of verdant bamboo create a magnificent classical garden.

The park also preserves a number of precious cultural relics and historical sites, including the Tang Dynasty Sutra Pillar, the Song Dynasty Putong Pagoda, the South Hall, the Weiyin Pavilion, the Quejiao Pavilion, etc., which are attractive for exploration.

Guqi Garden boasts exquisite gardening, with distinct seasonal changes. In spring, century-old peonies bloom, in summer, lotus flowers in the lotus pond blossom, in autumn, chrysanthemums adorn the garden, and in winter, double plum blossoms create a subtle fragrance.

The Yiye Hall, Xi'e Pond, Songhe Garden, Yuanyang Lake, Nanxiangbi, Qingqing Garden... all of the places in Guyi Garden exude a simple, elegant, light and refined quality.

Today I took advantage of the holiday to go to Guyi Garden for a walk. Maybe it was because there were more people on holidays, but the weather was very good today. The garden was full of green, and the bamboo blocked the sun, which made me feel very comfortable. Although the lotus flowers have withered, there are still one or two blooming, which is still very beautiful. The water lilies are also beautiful. The garden is full of green and the air is fresh, very comfortable.

The best time to visit Guyi Garden is when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. It is really beautiful!

Nanxiang Guqi Garden is a private garden dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Its name is derived from the phrase "Green Bamboo Yiqi," reflecting the traditional presence of bamboo within the garden. Guqi Garden is a highly recommended destination for leisure.

First, the scenery is beautiful. Guyi Garden fully preserves the historical style of Jiangnan gardens, with small bridges, flowing water, high terraces and waterside pavilions, lush bamboo and white cranes, and the changing scenery is fascinating. Historical sites such as the Quejiao Pavilion are also well preserved.

Secondly, the facilities are convenient. Besides being a traditional garden, Guyi Garden is also a modern public park. The park is clean and tidy, and the services are comprehensive. In a 2015 survey of Shanghai citizens' most satisfactory parks, Guyi Garden ranked third.

Third, transportation is convenient. Nanxiang is already very close to the city center. The opening of Metro Line 11 has brought Guyi Garden right to the doorstep of Shanghai residents. Get off at Nanxiang Station on Line 11 and Guyi Garden is within walking distance.

Fourth, there are a wealth of activities. The Lantern Festival at Guyi Garden is a prominent venue for Lantern Festival events in Shanghai. Throughout the Spring Festival, the garden is adorned with lanterns, gardening is flourishing, and there are regular dragon and lion dance performances. Furthermore, every summer, Guyi Garden hosts the Lotus Festival, a renowned Shanghai event. During the festival, a photography competition is held, and the winning entries are published in the Xinmin Evening News.

Fifth, there's a wealth of delicious food. Right at the main entrance of Guyi Garden is the famous Nanxiang Xiaolongbao (Steamed Bun) Shop. This shop is significantly less crowded than the one in Shanghai's Yu Garden, so you can enjoy authentic and delicious Xiaolongbao without waiting in line. Near Nanxiang Station, there's also a large shopping mall offering a variety of dining options.

Now is the lotus season~

Why don't you go out of town? Just visit Guyi Garden.

You can also eat the famous Xiaolongbao~

Although it is quite far, fortunately there is Line 11 near my home.

It was convenient in the past~

The weather is pretty good this weekend~sunny and windy~

But it's not too hot ~ suitable for sightseeing ~

Although many lotus flowers are not planted in ponds~

But it is convenient to look at it up close~ It is also very beautiful~

There are many varieties of lotus flowers, each with its own unique charm.

No wonder the ancients had so many poems describing lotus~

In addition, the pavilions and towers in the garden are not big, but I spent half a day visiting them.

I feel it's quite relaxing to enjoy the flowers and chat.

There is a lotus festival held here every year, and the water here is clear and the environment is well protected.

I went for a walk during the Lotus Festival. The weather was quite hot. The place is quite big.

Take your baby to take photos at the annual lotus exhibition in Guyi Garden

Known as one of the four great gardens of Jiangnan, it's really just a garden. It doesn't feel like a place you'd live in for a long time. It has all sorts of plants and a variety of landscapes. It's a little crowded on weekends, but not overcrowded. The children's playground is also OK. It's just that the paths are a little hard to find, so it's easy to wander around in one place for a long time. It's just a nice place to take a leisurely stroll.

The entire garden is famous for its five major features: lush green bamboos, quiet winding waters, elegant Ming Dynasty architecture, timeless couplets and poems, and graceful flower and stone paths.

The garden is quite large. As we walked around, I discussed with Xiaopai that in ancient times, if people lived here and fell ill, they would call for a doctor, but they would die before they even reached the bedroom. The servants who served them probably bought their entire lives, running around the garden all their lives to serve the masters.

April is the season for peonies, when "the blossoms bloom and fall for twenty days, and the whole city goes wild." At Guyi Garden, the century-old double-petaled purple peonies lining the north and south sides of Quxiang Corridor are the garden's most prized treasures. These two century-old peonies, after repeated breeding, each year produce large, lush, and vibrant blossoms, vying for attention with dazzling splendor.

The main event is the lotus exhibition, which is held every summer at Guyi Garden. Please visit the official website of Guyi Garden for detailed schedules.

Since ancient times, there have been countless lotus lovers, and I'm certainly one of them. Many articles praise the lotus, but the most well-known is, of course, "On the Love of the Lotus." I particularly love the line that expresses this admiration for the lotus: "I love only the lotus, which rises from the mud without being stained, washes in the clear water without being coquettish, is straight within and without branches, has no vines or branches, its fragrance becomes clearer the further it travels, and it stands tall and still, to be admired from afar but not to be played with."

It's lotus season again, and the lotus flowers are in bloom. This year, Nanxiang Guyi Garden is hosting the "2014 Shanghai International Water Lily Exhibition and the Second Shanghai Lotus Exhibition."

Guyi Garden is famous for its five major features: lush green bamboos, tranquil winding waters, elegant architecture, timeless couplets and poems, and beautiful flower and stone paths.

I visited Guyi Garden twice this year, once in March to see the plum blossoms and again in July to see the lotus flowers. It's one of Shanghai's five remaining gardens. Take Metro Line 11 to Nanxiang. With its exquisite design and moderate size, Guyi Garden is a classic Jiangnan garden, offering unique attractions in every season, with summer being the most famous for its lotus blossoms. Near Guyi Garden are many xiaolongbao (small soup dumplings) restaurants, making this a great place to try authentic Shanghainese xiaolongbao.

This is Nanxiang Ancient Town located in Jiading District, Shanghai. The ancient town has a long history, originating as early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The two ancient towers standing in the center of Nanxiang Ancient Town were built during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After years of vicissitudes, Nanxiang Ancient Town has become more and more timeless. Today, the new atmosphere of Shanghai in the great era has made Nanxiang Ancient Town a bright mother-of-pearl in the prosperity, and it is also a good place for people to relax and have fun.

Besides the beauty of the garden, the peonies here are also renowned. But I wasn't particularly lucky. When I arrived in early April, the garden's centenarian peony was nearly fading, while the other peonies hadn't bloomed much. When I returned in late April, the blossoms had been blown away by rain and wind, leaving only a few late-blooming flowers for me to enjoy. Perhaps it was trying to promise me the beauty of next spring.

Guyi Garden is a very pocket-sized garden with towering ancient trees, flowing water under small bridges, pavilions and towers. It is small and exquisite, beautiful and elegant.

The green bamboos, quiet winding water, birdsong and fragrance of flowers in Guyi Garden, the elegant Ming Dynasty architecture, unique and exquisite artistic conception, the timeless couplets and poems and the beautiful flower and stone paths make Guyi Garden more simple, elegant and light. It is a very ancient and quiet place.

As one of the ancient gardens in Nanxiang, Guyi Garden is really worth the trip. The scenery at the entrance is very eye-catching. It is really beautiful. I like it.

We went there to eat Nanxiang Xiaolongbao, and when we passed by Guyi Garden, we went in to take a look. It is one of the few special attractions in Shanghai. Tourists coming to Shanghai can go and have a look, but it is a bit far away.

I've been to this place several times. It's very close to Nanxiang Ancient Town, and if you go there, you can also satisfy your craving for Nanxiang's Xiaolongbao.

The lotus exhibition allows you to get up close and personal with the flowers and take some great photos.

However, don't go during holidays, as there are more people than lotus leaves! It's like going back to the days of 30 years ago when people had to queue everywhere.
