The Joyous Shade Garden in Shaxi: A Unique Beauty of the Garden

🎋The Joyous Shade Garden in Shaxi Ancient Town | A Unique Beauty of the Garden🎋 🌳Family, today I want to share with you an absolutely beautiful place—the Joyous Shade Garden in Shaxi! 🏞️The Joyous Shade Garden, also known as the Joyous Hidden Garden, has a long history😎! Originally built by the late Yuan Dynasty hermit Qu Xiaozhen, although the old garden site has long been lost, it was rebuilt on the original site in 1982, still retaining its classical charm🤩. 🌟The garden landscape here is simply stunning! The entire garden is divided into three parts: central, east, and west. The central part features a lake surrounded by rockeries, long corridors, waterside pavilions, flower halls, hexagonal pavilions, and Tongjin Bridge🎄. The entrance wall of the west part mimics the entrance of the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou. The small flower hall on the north side is simple and bright, and through the finely carved wooden lattice windows, you can enjoy the exquisite mountain view in the small courtyard behind the house🎍. The long corridor and waterside pavilion are built by the lake, and looking north across the shore, the willows sway beautifully😍. The carved flower hall in the west is even more exquisite, with finely carved beams and long glass windows making the hall spacious and bright. The platform in front of the hall is wide, and the terrace behind the pavilion is close to the pond💧. 🎈There is also a tea room in the east, a small garden within the garden, which is an excellent place for visitors to rest🥰. In summer, leaning against the mountain and water here, pouring a cup of tea, looking at the lotus in the pond, the greenery of the garden makes people feel extremely comfortable; after autumn, the golden wind brings coolness, and the fragrance of osmanthus fills the air, giving a unique joy of hiding🤗. 🌈The garden uses fine stones to pave the paths, which are very elegant. The winding stone paths create a unique artistic conception. The lotus stepping stones and Tongjin Bridge connect the east and west sides🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️. 📍The specific address of the Joyous Shade Garden is 168 Baiyun Middle Road, Taicang City, Suzhou. 🎫And it is open to the public for free! The opening hours are 08:00-17:00 (entry stops at 17:00). This is not only a beautiful garden but also a place where one can feel a strong historical and cultural atmosphere, definitely worth a visit👍! Friends, if you have the chance, you must come and experience it yourself😘!
