Yuehui Garden is located in Daojiao Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. It is a representative work of Lingnan gardens and the largest Lingnan classical garden in China. Yuehui Garden not only occupies an important position in architecture, but also stands out in the field of culture and art, becoming a shining pearl of Lingnan culture! Lingnan gardens, along with the royal gardens in Beijing (Summer Palace) and the Jiangnan gardens in Suzhou (Humble Administrator's Garden, Master of the Nets Garden, etc.), are known as the three major systems of Chinese classical gardens. Yuehui Garden is a representative masterpiece of Lingnan gardens. The famous writer Mr. Zhu Qianhua gave a detailed account of "Yuehui Garden" in his collection of essays on garden culture "Rain Drops on Banana Leaves in the Idle Garden: Lingnan Painting Boat Records". Yuehui Garden has an exquisite layout, integrating the traditional art of Lingnan gardens with modern aesthetic tastes. There are 108 garden attractions including pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, winding corridors, stone bridges and rockery, which embody the elegant and unique Lingnan ancient architectural style. They are hidden among the lush ancient trees and famous trees. The winding paths lead to secluded places and the scenery changes with every step. Clear streams meander through the garden, connecting the various scenic spots in the park. The water flows with the garden, and the garden comes alive because of the water. The courtyard is deep, with lotus breeze blowing in all directions and willow trees drooping lightly, which is full of the profound artistic conception of Tang poetry and Song lyrics. #China's largest private garden #Yuehui Garden
