Nanyuan, a hidden gem in Taicang.

Nanyuan was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It was once the most famous scenic spot in Taicang. It was the place where Wang Xijue, a senior official of the Ming Dynasty, planted plum trees and chrysanthemums. The garden is full of plum trees and chrysanthemums. When Nanyuan was built, it made full use of the natural terrain to create a landscape painting effect through techniques such as stacking mountains and managing water, and building bridges and corridors. After entering the garden, walking through the corridor and standing on the small flat bridge, the scenery in front of you is like a poem and a painting. The single-hole arch stone bridge in the distance, Zhijin Bridge, is like a rainbow over the water. Taicang Nanyuan is a Jiangnan garden with a long history and rich cultural connotations. Walking into Nanyuan is like traveling back to ancient times in a dream. The pavilions, terraces, and pavilions in the garden all show the unique charm of Jiangnan gardens. Walking in the garden and admiring the scenery in the garden, this tranquility makes people feel extremely comfortable.
