I thought Dongqian Lake in Ningbo was already beautiful enough! Until I went there
🗺 The off-the-beaten-path travel destination of Ningbo actually has a garden museum, which many people find strange. Ningbo isn't known for famous gardens, so why would there be a garden museum? It wasn't until after my visit that I realized Ningbo truly deserves a garden museum.
Ningbo's Tianyi Pavilion, you've heard of it, right? In fact, Tianyi Pavilion is considered a private garden. Ningbo's Moon Lake and Dongqian Lake, you've heard of them, right? Actually, they are both public gardens! There's also Tiantong Temple, Baoguo Temple, and Ayuwang Temple, the three major temple gardens of Ningbo. Even the recently renovated and soon to be closed again for repairs Qing'an Guild Hall is considered a garden. Looking at it this way, it's not surprising that Ningbo has a garden museum! 🌏
-
🏤 The Ningbo Garden Museum is divided into two floors (just found out there's another floor upstairs), with a total of 6 indoor exhibition halls and 2 outdoor exhibition gardens. It displays the development and characteristics of each period from the Hemudu period's stilt-style architecture to the Jiangnan gardens of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it's well worth a visit.

I'm starting to look forward to this year's hydrangea exhibition in Ningbo
🔔Did God spill his palette, or did he wander into Monet's garden by mistake?
Who says that only in Japan can you see a romantic sea of hydrangeas.
Right here in Ningbo, at the Ningbo Garden Museum, it's also possible. I'm already looking forward to this year's hydrangea exhibition,

🌸Hydrangeas!❗Flowering period【Based on previous years, from mid-May to early June】

✅The bamboo groves, hydrangeas, pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water in the Garden Museum, all in a refined and elegant Chinese classical style. Don't miss the hydrangeas in the Garden Museum this year, with their exquisite arrangement and design, blending seamlessly with the pavilion and tower landscapes.
✅Unique and chic, each view is delicate and charming. The garden blends into modern architecture, with pavilions, bridges, and mountain and water landscapes, making you feel as if you've stepped into the Suzhou Museum.
📷Photo spots.
⭕At the entrance, there's a long corridor, archway, and the Xuanzhu Pavilion; in the backyard, there's a koi pond and ancient pavilion, and secluded winding paths.
⭕In the exhibition hall, the benches in front of each glass pane are prone to reflecting light, making them suitable for taking silhouette photos.
⭕The open-air glass corridor on the second floor, surrounded by century-old trees, is very healing.
📝Tips:
👏🏻The hydrangea exhibition is subject to the actual time, so don't miss it. Remember to wear sunscreen,
👏🏻Taking photos of the hydrangeas behind the Garden Museum can frame them with the garden's white walls and Chinese-style architecture, enriching the picture;
👏🏻It is suggested to wear colors that match the hydrangeas: light blue, light pink, and light purple are all quite appropriate;
👏🏻The Garden Museum next to it is closed on Mondays, so it's recommended to avoid visiting on that day.
