He Garden: Thank you to the garden owner for doing two things right!

📍Address: Yangzhou, Jiangsu 🚗Transportation: Online car-hailing 👍️Must-visit: He Garden 🎟️Tickets: CNY 48/person 💗Other tips: 1. He Garden, originally named Jixiao Mountain Villa, is the "No. 1 Garden of the Late Qing Dynasty" 2. He Garden is a Qing Dynasty garden that incorporates Western architectural techniques and is bold and avant-garde in design. The core viewing area and residential area are both two-story buildings 3. The residential area is similar to modern terraced houses. There are corridors between rooms and buildings, similar to the inner ring road of a city. The corridors in the viewing area are similar to the outer ring road of a city. The corridor branch leading to the Jin Yue Pavilion is more like a ramp on a highway 4. On one side of the outer ring corridor is an open railing for viewing, and on the other side is a partition wall with various flower windows. The flower windows add to the scenery of the corridor, and in the era when mobile communication was not developed, it was more convenient to find and call people upstairs and downstairs in the large yard 5. The flower windows on the partition wall between the inner and outer ring corridors are higher than people and smaller. This not only adds to the beauty of the partition wall, but also takes into account the need for privacy in the residential area 6. The pavilion stage in the lake is also a major highlight. The unique design surrounded by water on all sides can achieve natural reverberation sound effects. Walking along the corridor upstairs and watching the performance is like a drone aerial view 7. On this basis, the garden owner did two things right: one is to set aside a large piece of land to build a boathouse. The architectural style of the boathouse is atmospheric, the glass flower windows are western-style, and the soft and hard decoration is elegant, which adds a lot of color to He Garden. The second is to buy the Pieshi Mountain House and protect it completely. Pieshi Mountain House is the most important rockery work of the rockery master Shi Tao (also said to be a solitary product in the world) and is a priceless treasure in the garden 8. Thank you to the garden owner: because of the Pieshi Mountain House and the boathouse, we saw a better He Garden 9. Friendly reminder: The courtyard door of Pieshi Mountain House is not very conspicuous, don't miss it
