Yangzhou

June, 2024 · Chinese Garden.

We drive to Yangzhou this time to take in the sights. Even though it isn’t exactly the third month of the lunar calendar, the view is still fabulous.

SLENDER WEST LAKE (瘦西湖)

The landscape design of the garden significantly exemplifies Chinese classical garden principles. The aesthetic tastes offer distinctive perspectives to appreciate the views.

Daming Temple

Jianzhen Memorial Hall · In the eleven years from 743 to 754, Jianzhen (鉴真) attempted to visit Japan some six times, arriving in the year 753 and founding Tōshōdai-ji in Nara. He helped build a strong cultural bond between China and Japan.
Qiling Pagoda

He Yuan (何园)

Actually there were a lot of people there as it is quite a popular spot. But I used an AI eraser to remove them. You may notice some slight residues or blurs in the image.
He Yuan has been used as a filming location for various Chinese TV plays, including Huan Zhu Ge Ge (还珠格格). Trust me, it is really fun to visit here with a super fan of those plays.
