Yixian | Shouzhuo Garden | Peach Blossom Land, Embracing Water and Mountains, A Perfect Circle

✅ Checking in at the concentric circle, the same courtyard as Fan Xian, may be the only purpose for trendy people to visit Shouzhuo Garden. For me, who is always late to the party, it was a pleasant surprise! ✅ I started from my own Yilin Meiju Ningxin Hall and planned to walk to Guanlu. I came to a fork in the road, with Guanlu on the right and Shouzhuo Garden on the left. I remembered how many times I had been attracted by the tower in the distance, so I decided to turn left and go to Shouzhuo Garden! 📍 Main entrance. The tall archway and the delicate residential-style gate are eye-catching. The bare vines on the time-stained white wall look like veins, giving a sense of movement. If this is a winter exclusive, what would it look like when it is green or red? Using plants to transform solid buildings into colorful ones shows the wisdom of our ancestors in garden design. 📍 Inside the gate. The path between the two walls is winding, creating a sense of "seclusion." At the end of the path, you cross a finely carved gate tower "Zhongyu Place" and suddenly see a large infinity lake, as if suspended in the air. The distant mountains and fields come into view, and on the other side, the houses are neatly arranged, with reflections in the lake swaying in the wind, like an ancient village. 📍 Several courtyards are connected, all with white walls, black tiles, flying eaves, and four waters returning to the hall. The small landscapes are also carefully designed, and every door, window, and alley is worth taking a picture of. 📍 Be sure to climb to the highest building for a panoramic view. The staggered roofs, courtyards, water surfaces, and horsehead walls are connected with the layers of distant mountains and fields, creating a full-frame picture. The level of borrowing scenery in this garden is first-class. 📍 Don't miss the "concentric circle," which is at the exit of the garden. 📍 Detailed address: Chiling Village, Yixian. Tao Geng, the 35th grandson of Tao Yuanming's second son, visited four places and determined that Yixian was the origin of his ancestor's "Peach Blossom Land," so he moved his family here. Shouzhuo Garden, a specially designed scenic spot, is named after Tao's poem "Returning to the Garden."
