The trip to Dali is a great scenic spot with many stories and beautiful scenery. It is a grand garden of folk art of the Bai people. It is an unexpected discovery in the Dali scenic area. There are many camellias. It is the first time I have seen such a beautiful house. It is an art palace of Tang poetry and Song lyrics and paintings. The goods are genuine and the 90 yuan ticket is worth it. I suggest that everyone must visit here when they come to Dali!

On the third day of my trip to Dali, I visited several tourist attractions in Dali. It turns out that in addition to the natural Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, Dali also has such an ancient and charming place. For me, I dream of having such a harbor of my own: quiet, comfortable, and remote. Unfortunately, I can only feast my eyes! Also, give a thumbs up to the legendary Dali Golden Flowers! The mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, the gardens are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful!

A must-see place in Dali! The city of love with flowers, snow and moon! Come to Zhang's Garden to experience ethnic customs, learn about Bai culture, drink three-course tea, and watch singing and dancing performances. The tour guide of the scenic area introduced Dali's carving people. The carving, painting, and calligraphy culture are really unique! Today I came to the Bai Royal Palace and was lucky enough to meet the owner of the Zhang family's garden! Learn that he is the king's Houyi! He is also the inheritor of Bai culture! Every family in Dali has water and every family grows flowers! The garden mainly grows camellia. I came at the right time. Dali is worth the trip

Today is the second day in Dali. Following the recommendation of the locals, I came to Zhangjia Garden in Dali. This is a dreamlike Bai ethnic group garden, carrying the dream of Dali's thousand-year-old residential buildings, a beautiful art palace, narrating the splendor of the Nanzhao Dali Kingdom, and the first garden in Yunnan between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake... Zhangjia Garden. Whether it is a simple and elegant architectural piece or a modern landscape, whether it is a water system design or a green plant, whether it is a combination of light and shadow or an integration of shape and color, they are all to create an atmosphere of harmony between man and nature, and meet the dual value pursuit of human spirit and practicality. It is worth visiting, and I strongly recommend it to my friends 👍👍👍

If you want to see flowers in Dali, you can go to Zhang Family Garden, which is a collection of Dali Bai ethnic group colored paintings, murals, reliefs, wood carvings, three rooms and a screen wall, four courtyards and five patios... It is decorated with the most famous Dali camellia. You can stop to appreciate the flowers, climb the building to appreciate the flowers, observe from afar and smell from near, and appreciate whatever you want. When the camellia garden is full of flowers again, don't you want to appreciate them? So, when you come to Dali to see flowers, you must not miss Zhang Family Garden, which is hidden at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.

I came here because of its reputation. I especially like ethnic style. I have been looking forward to Zhangjia Garden in Dali for a long time. Today I finally came. The scenery is charming and refreshing. The carvings are exquisite and ingenious, the clay sculptures and paintings are superb, and the camellia and golden flowers are vying for beauty. It is simply a paradise on earth. How can there be such beautiful residential buildings! ! ! There are also excellent scenic area explanations to take you to appreciate the profoundness of the Bai residential architectural culture and the simple and enthusiastic folk customs. The unique ethnic three-course tea song and dance performance allows you to taste the bitterness, sweetness and aftertaste of life and watch the authentic Bai song and dance! Next time, I will bring my family and friends to see the style of Bai residential houses. The joy of visiting Zhangjia Garden brings us the best memories of our lives! Dali's camellia is beautiful, Dali's golden flowers are beautiful, but in fact, Dali's Zhangjia Garden is the most beautiful! ! ! Highly recommended, highly recommended, and worth your visit! ! !

A sentence on the ticket attracted my desire to explore it... If you haven't been to Dali Zhangjia Garden, don't say where the folk houses are the most beautiful! Yes, I was amazed when I entered it. Every step was a scene, and it was so beautiful from any angle. The exquisite wood carvings, gorgeous camellia, and various flowers in full bloom made me dazzled. This is also a place with profound cultural heritage. The couplets, calligraphy in various fonts, and paintings inside also made me amazed... Folk houses, gardens, and Western classical architecture are integrated without any abruptness. There are houses in the garden, and gardens in the houses. The garden in the garden in the big garden between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake is worth the trip.

This is also my first time to travel in Dali. Zhangjia Garden is the second attraction I visited in Dali. At the gate of the garden, Jinhua warmly welcomed me. After entering, Jinhua will slowly explain and take me to visit the inside to understand the Bai ethnic customs, Bai ethnic residences, and various customs of the Bai ethnic group. There are many wood carvings inside, and the carvings are very detailed. I heard from Jinhua that the time I came these few days happened to be when the camellia was in full bloom☺. There was also a three-course tea song performance inside, which was very satisfying😁😁……

Zhangjia Garden is highly recommended!

By China-TravelNote users |

Zhang Family Garden in Dali is a very beautiful Bai ethnic minority residence. The large Bai ethnic minority residence has a screen wall with a romantic and beautiful scene, and the name card of the surname, three courtyards and one screen wall, four and five patios, and a Western-style courtyard. The owner of the garden, Zhang Jianchun, is so shocked. He is also a cultured person who is eye-opening. There are also three courses of Bai tea, and the cultural heritage is particularly strong. Anyway, it is worth it to come to Dali and you must go to Zhang Family Garden. Great 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The Bai people of Dali who live between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake should be very proud! Today, I went to a tourist attraction with a few friends! Dali Zhangjia Garden is a Bai royal palace with a story! The garden is painted, clay sculptures, inlaid, and woodcarved, unique and exquisite, with carved beams and painted buildings, lifelike, and camellias in full bloom... Three courtyards and one screen wall, four courtyards and five patios, walking and turning attics, etc.... The architectural style and meaning of each courtyard are different. You must listen to the tour guide's explanation to know the history and culture of Dali and the folk customs of the Bai people. The tour guide will take us to taste tea and watch performances and arrange our reasonable time one by one. I have been playing in Dali for several days and have been to many Bai residential attractions. Dali Zhangjia Garden is the first place that I must praise. Dali Zhangjia Garden, a paradise on earth with flowers, snow and moon, is really good! Worth it!

Dali Zhangjia Garden, Liuhe Tongchun Bai Nationality Residence, is located in the north of Dali's founding Buddhist temple "Guanyintang", covering an area of ​​8 acres, with a construction area of ​​4,700 square meters. It has 36 unique guest rooms, allowing you to sleep on the Erhai Beach and listen to the sea quietly, leaning against the green embrace of Cangshan Mountain and breathing the vitamins in the oxygen bar. It has the longest residential calligraphy and painting gallery in Dali.

Zhangjia Garden is not far from the Erhai Lake. We arrived there very quickly. The taxi driver helped us buy tickets, which were 10 yuan cheaper. After entering the garden, the beautiful Bai ethnic group tour guide explained to me and my sister that this is a large Bai ethnic group residence, covering an area of ​​8 mu. It was opened on August 8, 2000, and it took 8 years to build. The construction area is 4,700 square meters, with a total investment of 50 million yuan. It is the largest Bai ethnic group residential area in history.

The whole scenic area is divided into many areas, each with its own characteristics. My sister and I walked to every corner. The tour guide explained in detail and we had a preliminary understanding. Finally, we came to the tea tasting area. Since we had just eaten in the morning and couldn't drink, we didn't taste tea, but my sister bought a few boxes of their tea to support the Bai compatriots.

By QQ Sonic Friends |

The Zhang Family Garden is very grand. If you want to see the pure Bai ethnic minority houses, this is a good choice.

The most impressive thing is the singing and dancing performance here, which is quite interesting. I enjoyed it while tasting tea. The three cups of tea have different flavors, one bitter and two spicy.

The sweet one has a sweet aftertaste. I like the sweet one the most. It seems to have some small dried fruits and a little osmanthus fragrance. It tastes good after drinking it.

I want to drink haha

By While you are happy |

I went there by chance. At that time, I felt that the 90 yuan ticket was worth it. Facts speak louder than words. It is a house with Bai characteristics. The so-called screen wall~~~ the magnificent wood carvings, stone carvings and jade carvings made me stare at it. Even the peacocks inside exuded a sense of superiority and arrogance. It is not beautiful enough to describe it, and luxurious enough to describe it. Only those who are there can deeply appreciate the shocking beauty. The description of words is too pale and bony. I am not impressed by the Bai dance and three-course tea, and the silverware of "Gongzhengweizong" does not move me. The beauty of the house has already shocked me.

Zhang Family Garden is located in Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, north of Guanyin Pond. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and covers an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters. It is a group of large-scale and relatively well-preserved country manor-style residential buildings.

Zhang Family Garden in Dali is a tourist attraction that was only opened in March 2008. It is a dreamy camellia residence in the south of the colorful clouds. It is surrounded by camellia, azalea and the mother lake Erhai Lake where water from 18 streams pours into it. It is backed by fresh flowers, gentian and Gaohecai from Cangshan Mountain. It is called "the first garden in Yunnan" and "the dreamy Bai residence" by all those who have visited it. It is also synonymous with "surprise, magic and excitement". The Bai people, with wreaths embroidered on their necks and clothes embroidered with camellia and azalea, are rosy-cheeked and good at singing and dancing, attracting dreamy people from all over the world who yearn for Dali's colorful clouds and chasing the moon. When the clear water of Erhai Lake is dotted with gold to the moment the golden shuttle shoots towards the colorful clouds of Cangshan Mountain, the sun lazily spreads over Zhang Family Garden, this oriental "dream residence".

By Make me kill your sheep |

Today I would like to recommend a place to you, Dali Zhangjia Garden. It is not far from the ancient city, so if you drive here, you must come and see it.

It is a very cultural scenic spot, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I have to sigh that Yunnan is indeed a place with four seasons like spring. You can see a lot of flowers here, and you can imagine how peaceful and comfortable the life of the owners was back then. It is really enviable.

I got the admission ticket at the gate and hung it around my neck and went in. In fact, it was a private house of a wealthy family in Yunnan in the past.

Dali Zhangjia Garden is a very delicate garden with intricate architectural craftsmanship and beautiful Bai architecture.

By Proud Ice |

Dali Zhangjia Garden is a well-designed Bai ethnic garden. It is very beautiful. In addition, the entire building complex is well-arranged. Being in it, you will be in a dreamlike state of meditation. The 36 elegant residential guest rooms provide unlimited possibilities for guests from all over the world to stay at Baijia. Living between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, you can watch the sunrise of Jishan Mountain in the east, the hidden fairy of Yulong Mountain in the north, the colorful Yunnan in the south, and the snow of Cangshan Mountain in the west. There are open-air cafes and teahouses in the blue sky. You can enjoy the grand view of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake while sipping coffee and drinking Pu'er tea to watch the clouds in the sky. You can even be in a daze! You can also hear the morning bell of the temple and enjoy this wonderful Buddhist kingdom and spiritual art space!

By Where does the money come from? |

It is worthwhile to come to Zhangjia Garden. Walking in such a garden, you will deeply realize that the beauty of Dali is not only the beauty of Shangguan flowers, Xiaguan wind, Erhai moon and Cangshan snow. In Zhangjia Garden, you can not only see the architectural art of Bai nationality residences, experience the simple folk customs of Bai nationality, taste "three courses of tea" and watch folk folk song and dance performances, but also live in the unique cultural residence guest rooms, shoot movies and TV series (the 60th National Day tribute film "Golden Wind and Flowers" has been shot in the garden). Here, we can not only be intoxicated by her beautiful and romantic atmosphere, but also be deeply attracted by the customs and folk customs of the ancient city set against the backdrop of the wind, flowers, snow and moon. Dali people love flowers, appreciate flowers and discuss flowers. Whenever the camellia blooms, there will be endless tourists coming to stop and appreciate the spring scenery. More than 10,000 tea trees and thousands of varieties fill the entire yard. The eight famous teas of Dali, such as "Hate the Sky", "Tongzimian" and "Zhusha Zipao", are all planted in the garden. The Cangshan Stream runs through the garden, creating a back garden and a water stage. There is also a 880-meter-long residential calligraphy and painting gallery, 16 residential gatehouses with different and exquisite shapes, 136 kinds of exquisitely carved doors and windows that are the best in China, and a screen wall decorated with "Twenty-Four Filial Piety", family management mottos and folk proverbs for self-cultivation.

Zhang Family Garden in Dali, an artistic palace nestled between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, is a typical Bai dwelling in Liuhe Tongchun and the largest building unit in the history of Bai dwellings. It uses the golden deer and white crane as auspicious symbols. The architectural culture originated from the six tribes of Erhai Lake unified by the Nanzhao Kingdom, which moved its capital to the area between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The Protocol Courtyard that highlighted the Liuzhao culture was built in the capital. Later, the Protocol Courtyard was destroyed in the long river of history, but it has been passed down from generation to generation in Dali. It can be said that "Liuhe Tongchun" is the Bai dwelling Neo-Confucian architectural manor that the Dali people have dreamed of for thousands of years. Zhang Family Garden in Dali is located on the north side of Guanyintang at the foot of Shengying Peak in Dian Cang Mountain. It is a garden of residential architectural culture and art created by the Dali folk architectural art master, the owner Zhang Jianchun, who invested and personally designed it.

The ticket cost 90 yuan, which was a big pain for poor students like us, but we finally bought the ticket since we were here. When we walked into Zhangjia Garden, we were amazed by the magnificent scene in front of us, and we felt that the 90 yuan was really worth it.

Zhang Family Garden covers an area of ​​more than 20 mu, with as many as 249 houses. When you come to Zhang Family Garden, the first thing that catches your eye is the exquisite gatehouse, on which hangs a plaque that reads "Zhang Family Garden, Dali". Passing through the long corridor, we saw the famous screen wall. The screen wall is dominated by pink and blue, and is carved with palaces, rockery, flowing water, and singing and dancing Bai people, which are vivid and lifelike. It was the first time for me to appreciate the culture of ethnic minorities up close. To be honest, my roommate and I were very excited. We arrived at a place similar to the Beijing Siheyuan. I heard from others that it seems to be called Sihewutianjing. In short, it was amazing. The courtyard is surrounded by two-story red lacquered wooden buildings, and the railings and doors and windows are carved with various gods and historical figures, which are very exquisite. There is a cherry tree in the southeast of the courtyard, and there is an ancient well in the middle of the courtyard. I feel that this is particularly suitable for filming movies, and the environment is super good. My roommate kept praising me and always asked me to take pictures of her, haha

By The old captain's voice |

The environment is beautiful and ancient, as if you have returned to a wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty. The courtyard is large and full of wood carvings. I guess the boss is very attentive. There are also free Bai ethnic programs to watch. It is suitable for people over 60 years old to stay. It is memorable. The hotel service is really formal and good. The location is very convenient. It is 30 minutes away from the airport, 5 minutes from the beach, night market, and pedestrian street. The airport takes the sky bus to get off near the hotel. It is very convenient and cheap. You can buy tickets at the airport where you get off. You can take a taxi to the scenic spots. The hotel accommodation is clean and hygienic. You can see the sea view. The night view of the city center is very beautiful at night! There is a good duty-free shop downstairs. Although the hotel buffet is not much, it is very exquisite and full. Recommended to stay, I am really glad that I booked this hotel.

There are more than 1,800 varieties of camellia in this garden, including both Yunnan and foreign varieties. The eight famous Yunnan camellias are: Hate the Sky, Tongzimian, Zipao, Shizitou, Dali Tea, Xuejiao, Songzilin, and Zhusha Zipao. There are also varieties such as "Red Eighteen Scholars" and "Zhang Family Tea" that were cultivated according to the description in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". In a corner of the garden, there is a camellia with a special color, and the golden flowers shyly hang down on the branches. Zhang Jianchun said that this is the famous golden camellia. Don't underestimate this egg-sized camellia, it has a strong health value. It is said that the price of a flower is about 120 yuan, so the owner of the garden will carefully collect every withered golden camellia.

By Unable to give love |

"Yunnan's camellia is the best in the world, and Dali's camellia is the best in Yunnan." In the ancient city of Dali, which is surrounded by camellia, you must not miss Zhang's Garden to enjoy the flowers. In this exquisite Bai nationality garden architecture, you can find nearly a thousand kinds of camellia. If you don't ask, you won't know that there are more than 10,000 camellia plants planted in this small garden. The Zhang's Courtyard, hidden at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, still maintains the traditional color and architectural layout of Bai nationality dwellings. In this courtyard, you can appreciate the inheritance and development of traditional Bai nationality dwellings, and feel the fusion and collision of Chinese and Western architectural cultures. In addition to appreciating the exquisite Bai nationality architecture, camellia is a scenery that you must not miss - March is the season when camellia blooms. Every corner of Zhang's Garden is decorated with blooming camellias, and even the camellias that have fallen from the branches have become decorations in the pool in the courtyard.

My bestie and I went to Zhangjia Garden under the enthusiastic recommendation of the driver. We thought it was a standard Bai building, but we felt that our eyes were not enough to see it as soon as we entered the door. There were all kinds of flowers and potted plants everywhere, and even the small landscapes in the corners were carefully designed. The buildings in the courtyard also opened our eyes. Carved railings and jade bricks are standard, and the pavilions are quite exquisite. While listening to the introduction of the beautiful lady Yang Xiaodie~( ̄▽ ̄~)~, I was amazed at the beautiful scenery everywhere. Finally, I drank tea and watched the singing and dancing performances, and the tour ended perfectly. Dali Zhangjia Garden is worth a visit.

By Dobby Dad |

Zhang Family Garden in Dali was opened in 2003. It is a place with Bai ethnic minority residential buildings as its main content. According to the tour guide, in ancient times, there was a "Baizi Kingdom" in Dali, and the king was surnamed Zhang. Zhang Family Garden was built by his descendants on the basis of their own residential buildings.

Zhangjia Garden has a typical Bai residential style, such as three courtyards and one screen wall, four courtyards and five patios. The courtyards here are different from those in Beijing. The surrounding houses are all of the same height, span and depth, and they are all in the form of "corner buildings". Zhangjia Garden wins with the exquisite luxury of residential buildings. The architectural structure layout, wood carvings, stone carvings, and piled sculptures are all very complicated and gorgeous. The architectural layout in Zhangjia Garden is staggered. I can feel the design effect of "borrowing scenery" more deeply on the second floor. The overall decoration and various carvings of the theater building in Zhangjia Garden are very delicate and exquisite, and it really has the style of a royal palace. The "Wukui Gate" is not big, but the complex and domineering momentum has come out. The plaque of "Wukui" should be an old thing. The five-story wooden eaves in the gatehouse are raised to a large extent. Various carved patterns are carefully crafted and colorful, which gives people a shocking feeling. The main hall of the Zhangjia Garden compound is where the owner presides over meetings and entertains guests. The place is not big, but the decoration and furnishings are exquisite. The "Shuxiang Mendi" plaque is an antique one, and the "Shou Kao Weiqi" plaque is an old one. The four doors are exquisitely carved, hollowed out, and colorful, and are the best in the courtyard! It also improves the grade of the main hall! Zhangjia Garden is not a garden, and there is no garden-style garden at all. It is an exquisite residential building complex with the characteristics of the Bai ethnic minority that combines Chinese and Western elements, and it is a boutique building complex. Its most prominent feature is - luxury!

Here I experienced the architecture and folk culture of the Bai people in Dali, and since then I have had a deep understanding and knowledge of Dali.

Dali Zhangjia Garden is located in the north of Guanyintang, Qili Bridge, Dali Town. When I heard the introduction from the traveler, I thought it was a park. When I arrived, I found out that it was a settlement covering an area of ​​8 acres, which is a collection of Bai ethnic minority buildings and houses. The reason why it is called a settlement is that there are many courtyards, each of which is antique and full of historical sense. This makes me, a history major, look at it differently. In fact, it is not just a sense of history, but more importantly, the characteristics and culture of the architecture. I have seen some Dali residential courtyards when I was visiting the ancient city, but it is the first time I have seen a place like Dali Zhangjia Garden that displays all kinds of Bai ethnic minority houses together. Regarding the Bai ethnic minority in Dali, when I was a child, I was fascinated by Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu" and developed a good impression of the Bai ethnic minority. This time I chose to come to Dali for this reason. Dali Zhangjia Garden was originally like a royal garden, which was enough to comfort my childhood martial arts dreams, and the reality of the Bai ethnic minority houses is so charming, which really surprised me. The three courtyards and one screen wall, the four-compartment and five-yard house, and the connected "horse-turning attic" reflect the architectural characteristics of Dali. Walking through such a complex of buildings, it seems as if time has gone back to the Dali Dynasty, except for the little prince Duan Yu and the fairy sister Wang Yuyan. Of course, there are also camellias, which are also one of the highlights of Zhang's Garden. Zhang's Garden, known as the dreamy camellia residence of the Bai people in Dali, never lacks bright and beautiful camellias all year round. There are more than 10,000 tea trees, and there are nearly a thousand kinds of camellias, including precious varieties such as "Hate the Sky", "Tongzi Face", and "Cinnabar Purple Robe". It is really breathtaking and can be called a camellia museum.

Wandering in the wonderful culture and art created by Zhangjia Garden in Dali, I, a young woman who has been influenced by Shanghai for 30 years, can hardly take the step to leave. Well, there are also the Dali Bai Three Teas and folk art performances of Bai girls and boys, as well as various Bai delicacies and handicrafts. Let me enjoy this half-day leisure time in Dali Zhangjia Garden. Who told me to fall in love with this place as soon as I came? Finally, I would like to recommend that friends who come to Dali, don't forget to visit Dali Zhangjia Garden, you will definitely gain something.

Only after I went there did I realize that this is really a great place. My first feeling was amazing. The architectural style and scale are very grand, and it looks like a royal garden, which reminds me of the Dali Palace in Jin Yong's novel "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". It was spring, and I could vaguely see the flowers and trees inside at the door. I couldn't suppress my mysterious curiosity, so I bought tickets with my parents to go in. When I walked in, wow, it was really a magnificent sight, with so many beautiful and fun things. First of all, there are all kinds of buildings that best represent the Bai people's residences in Dali. It is not exaggerated to call it "the dreamy Bai people's residences", and it is called "the Bai people's art palace between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake". Whether it is the exterior design, materials, interior and exterior decoration, it can be called high-end and classy. As for the "Three Squares and One Screen Wall", "Sihe Huifeng Courtyard", "Ruijie Sanfang Courtyard", "Luhe Tongchun Courtyard", etc., they are even more dazzling and breathtaking! It is said that the owner of the garden took eight years and spent nearly 100 million to create such a complex of buildings. It really makes people like me who lack willpower worship. Of course, for flower lovers, the main reason why Dali Zhangjia Garden attracted us to visit was the camellia. I have seen the camellia in Shangguan before. It is good, but there are too many people and too many flowers, which is a little bit flawed. The camellia in Zhangjia Garden is different. Although there are thousands of varieties, they are arranged reasonably and in a well-organized manner. They can be seen not only in the back garden, but also in other places. Those camellias that can be seen everywhere, either elegant or calm, have become a beautiful embellishment of each scenic spot.

The back garden must be described in particular. There are more than 10,000 tea trees planted here, and thousands of varieties are gathered here. It is not an exaggeration to call it a camellia expo garden! The kingly "Hate the Sky", the most concentrated and colorful "Tongzi Face", the elegant and luxurious "Cinnabar Purple Robe"...all swallowed fire and bloomed in the spring sunshine. Wandering in this world of camellia is like coming to a fairyland on earth, and it seems to be in the Grand View Garden in Dream of Red Mansions, and it feels like Liu Laolao entering Jia Mansion. Not only that, we also saw the unique "floating flowers" landscape of Zhang's Garden. In Sihe Huifeng Courtyard, we saw red, yellow, and white camellia petals falling from high up and falling into the water of the stone jar at a low place. It was really colorful and fascinating!

Dali Zhangjia Garden, also known as the Bai Nationality Palace, fully reflects the Bai nationality's residential and aristocratic architectural styles. The most impressive thing about the six courtyards is the European-style screen wall and courtyard design. In ancient times, Dali had already communicated with Western culture through the Ancient Tea Horse Road, which is really amazing.

By Lin Yirong |

As soon as you enter Zhangjia Garden, it feels like you are in the back garden of the royal family. It feels super exquisite, and you can feel that every place is carefully designed. The buildings are basically two to three-story wooden buildings, with white walls, blue bricks, gray tiles, red columns, and green plants and various flowers all over the yard. It is really colorful and beautiful. In particular, the wood carvings here are very fine. The pillars, eaves, railings, doors and windows, and walls are decorated with various carvings: some are flowers, birds, fish, insects, some are traditional stories, some are daily life scenes, and some are auspicious patterns. They are scattered and dazzling. I have been to Huizhou. I used to feel that the wood carvings in Huizhou were very beautiful and awesome. I didn't expect that the ones in Zhangjia Garden were even better. The whole yard is very large and is divided into many small yards. The design style and style of each yard are different. There are both the simplicity and solemnity of Han architecture and the brightness and style of southwestern architecture. There is even a yard in pure Western style, which makes people stop and appreciate it.

Zhangjia Garden should be different from Yanjia Residence. There are professional tour guides at the door, and then check the ticket to go in. It is indeed exquisite. It seems to be a peculiar combination of Bai courtyard and Suzhou garden, and it seems to be a typical Bai residential style. At this time, the good weather started to rain again. What good luck! The performance started soon, and we also tasted the "three teas" in the style of Zhangjiayuan, and enjoyed the Bai song and dance performance of Zhangjia Garden. When we came in the morning, we asked the driver who drove us, "Is it enough to watch one of Zhangjia Garden and Yanjia Residence?" The driver answered carefully: "It's different. The two have different styles." Now it seems that the driver's answer is objective and fair. After appreciating it all the way, there are actually Western-style things. It is really compatible and has many characteristics. After the detailed explanation of the tour guide, I firmly believe that this must not be a preserved ancient monument, but a new building that organically integrates Bai courtyard, Han garden and Western courtyard. Of course, the garden is still very beautiful! If you are happy, you can find a corner inside and sit alone for a day and be in a daze. It is a garden that is worth visiting. ~

I really didn't expect the Zhang Family Garden in Dali. It's so beautiful. There is also a beautiful tour guide sister to explain and lead the tour. I like this sister very much. Following the tour guide sister has become a trip to enrich knowledge and experience the customs of the Bai people. It is a very meaningful trip. The building that really cannot be described in words can be called a work of art. It is super exquisite and beautiful. I can't pull it out of my eyes when I see it. There is also a representative work of Bai folk house surname culture architecture. It is said that it is a royal courtyard-style royal building used by the Dali Kingdom in the Song Dynasty. There are three squares and one screen wall. The four courtyards and five patios are the unique back garden combination in Dali. The largest unit in the history of Bai folk houses is "Six Harmonies in Spring". The text says that "Deer and Crane in Spring" uses golden deer and white cranes as a sign of auspiciousness. The architectural culture originated from the architectural culture of the six tribes of Erhai Lake unified by the Nanzhao Kingdom. The history of the Dali people has been passed down to this day. It is the architectural manor of the Bai folk houses that the Dali people have dreamed of for thousands of years. Dali Zhang Family Garden is located at the location of Sansi Gongli in the ancient city of Dali. It should be the garden of folk house architecture culture and art created by the owner. It has a strong cultural heritage. Every carving and every wall painting reflects the Bai people's national beliefs and customs. Highly recommended!

By Bao Yangang |

It is a very unique historical garden, integrating the cultural features of various places. You can feel the local characteristics of Dali Bai people's houses, which has a profound cultural heritage. The garden has its own tea garden, and the self-produced four-course tea is delicious. I like it here very much.

By Hua Fanxia |

The driver said that Zhang Family Garden is actually the Dali Imperial Palace. I have been to the Forbidden City, where the architecture is majestic and magnificent, but the architectural style of Zhang Family Garden is exquisite and unique, and it is worth a visit.

By Zhu Anlian |

Zhangjia Garden is a courtyard with Bai characteristics. It is said that it is the place where the great master of Dali, Fang Yu, practiced Lingbo Weibu and Liumai Shenjian. It is a very unique Bai courtyard. The peacock flying and Bai wedding are worth seeing. The garden looks very small at first glance, but it is actually a ramp effect. It is really good. There is a sky mirror, which is very good.

By Yimengyou curtain |

Dali is a good place, nice and beautiful! Zhangjia Garden is not a big scenic spot, and there are not many tourists. It will take a while to walk around and see! The performance at the entrance is very good! The scenery inside is really superb.

By Luo Wanai |

Very beautiful and very exquisite garden, it is worth visiting here. It is simply too exquisite to be expressed in words. Listening to the tour guide's explanation in great detail, I learned about the Bai culture and various customs of the Bai people. The fine textures of the wood carvings in the whole courtyard are lifelike. It is the most exquisite wood carving gardening I have ever seen. There is also a courtyard that is entirely carved with marble and white marble. The whole courtyard can be said to be the most exquisite courtyard in China. I recommend everyone to come and have a look.

Dali Zhangjia Garden is a dreamy camellia residence in the south of the colorful clouds. It is surrounded by camellia, azalea and the mother lake Erhai Lake where water from 18 streams pours into. With the flowers, gentian and Gaohecai of Cangshan Mountain behind it, it attracts dreamers from all over the world who yearn for Dali's colorful clouds and the moon. When the clear water of Erhai Lake is dyed with gold, it is like a fairyland.

By Qi Shuangling |

The scenery of the garden is good. The murals here are very beautiful. It is the first time I have seen murals. It is suitable for couples or families to take a walk. There are many customs and characteristics here. It is also a place to receive foreign envoys. The tea is very delicious, especially the rose tea. You must participate in the folklore program. It is very beautiful here.

By Han Banguang |

The overall architecture here fits the pattern of traditional culture and reflects the unique aesthetic characteristics of the Bai people. Traditional concepts such as deer and crane in spring, eight directions and six directions, as well as the twenty-four filial piety pictures and Western architectural styles make people linger. Surprisingly, the architectural layout of three rooms and one wall and the courtyard is similar to the northern folk houses, but also has its own uniqueness. A very nice garden.

By Rui Shengzhen |

Zhang Family Garden is located in Tuanshan Village. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty. It is a "four-in-one five-courtyard" layout, with two groups of three courtyards and a garden ancestral hall arranged in parallel vertically and horizontally. It is large in scale, with very good construction quality, and a relatively well-preserved rural manor-style residential building complex. My favorite is the painting "Success at the First Attack", which has a great meaning and is also a good gift for friends.

By Cui Yice |

Arriving at Zhang Family Garden, the main entrance is very architecturally distinctive. The first thing that caught my eye was the uneven roofs, which could be seen from outside the wall. The entire Zhang Family Garden was built with bluestone bricks, with white plaster filling the seams. The entire building was neat and solid, and it was difficult to be damaged even in the wind and rain. The main entrance was made of blue tiles and flying eaves, and the complicated decorations had special meanings. A red plaque was hung above the lintel, with the words "Dali Zhang Family Garden" written in gilded cursive script.

By Wen Penghao |

The most satisfying place in Dali is the Bai Nationality Palace in Zhangjia Garden. When the driver took me there, I thought the ticket was a little expensive at first, but I was really surprised after entering. The architecture inside is so beautiful, with carved beams and painted buildings, delicate wood carvings, and a perfect combination of painting and inlay. There was also a beautiful sister Jinhua explaining along the way. After the tour guide finished explaining, I took all kinds of photos inside. There are endless beautiful scenery here!

By Dai Chifu |

Zhangjia Garden in Dali was the residence of the wealthy a long time ago. It is very magnificent! Luxurious and exquisite! There are colorful colored glaze and cloisonné everywhere. It is very beautiful. The driver recommended us to go to Zhangjia Garden in Dali. We also learned about the architectural culture, folk customs and folk customs of the Bai people. There were performances, tea drinking, and explanations from the tour guide Jinhua. I heard that it was a place where a king lived in the past. According to the tour guide, the Bai people are a hardworking nation. The carvings in front of me are so beautiful and delicate. I especially like these flowers and plants. It is worth the trip.

By What's wrong.... |

The scenery is beautiful, the tour guide's explanation is detailed and vivid, and I have a deep understanding of the Bai people's house architecture, three rooms and one screen wall, four courtyards and five patios. At the same time, the tour guide also introduced the culture of different countries. It is worth a visit!

By Zou Zhizhi |

The Zhang Family Garden is full of cultural atmosphere. The exquisite architecture of the Bai people in Dali fully reflects the culture of the Bai people in Dali. The Zhang Family Garden covers an area of ​​8.8 acres. The buildings and flowers inside are very exquisite and it is worth visiting.

By China-TravelNote users |

Before I came to Dali, I made some travel guides. I heard from my friends that Zhangjia Garden in Dali is a good place, although it is a 3A scenic spot. But after walking here, I feel that it is not much worse than the 4-5A scenic spots. The ancient buildings, the small bridges and the flowing water, and the cultural heritage of the Bai ethnic group are all reflected in Zhangjia Garden. It is really unobstructed and beautiful.

By Katsura Yume |

It is really unexpected that there is such a wonderful courtyard in Dali. Zhangjia Garden is really a scene with every step. I like this kind of scenery very much. After entering, the tour guide explained it to me. I especially liked it. The explanation was very detailed. There are also some performances here where you can sit down and drink tea. The beautiful scenery should be appreciated.

By Tang Feihou |

Zhang Family Garden is really upscale. It's quite interesting once you enter. Every room is connected. The wood carvings and stone materials are particularly exquisite. Listening to Sister Jinhua's detailed explanation of the origin of each landscape enriched a lot of local customs and folkways. I highly recommend it and I'll come again if I have the chance.

By Don't tease me |

This time when I came to Dali, I suddenly decided to visit Zhangjia Garden. We learned from the taxi driver that Zhangjia Garden is really worth a visit. When I got here, I found that it was really well-deserved. The scenery inside is really very beautiful. There was also a beautiful Bai girl dance performance, which was very good!

By Li Manmeng |

It was my first time to visit Zhang Family Garden. I personally felt that it was a great choice. To experience the customs of the Bai nationality, you can do so in Zhang Family Garden. The six-sided screen wall is written with the words "wind, flowers, snow and moon" and is the screen wall of the Bai family. There is also the "Bai Ren Family Style" inscribed in the center of the outer wall of Ruijie Sanfangyuan, which is the name card of the family surname, the literary name of the Bai nationality Zhang surname; the round moon-like marble in the inner wall is not only a summary of the auspicious light, but also the owner's wish to welcome good fortune. In this world of flowers, Dali is full of flying flowers, and everyone says that they will see flowers. In addition, there are about 10,000 tea trees planted in this Zhang Family Garden, with tens of thousands of varieties and species, which is very beautiful. There are also several beautiful peacocks raised here. Those who like to watch them feel that they are very beautiful and interesting. This place does have a different architectural style from other ethnic groups, and there are many places that integrate the architectural styles of multiple ethnic groups, diversity and multiple countries. It is worth seeing in terms of architectural art. I really like Zhang Family Garden.

Dali Zhangjia Garden is more magnificent than I imagined. Such a luxurious traditional courtyard group is comparable to the Dali Royal Palace. Although this is not the Tianlongbabu Film and Television City, I think it is more like the Dali Royal Palace than the film and television city. I think the handsome prince Duan Yu should be born in such a place to be more in line with his status as a royal prince. What's more, this is a 3A-level scenic spot, and there are far more things to see and play than those related to Jin Yong. Dali Zhangjia Garden, known as the dream residence of the Bai people in Dali, is of course its biggest attraction. The Bai people's residence looks a bit like the Siheyuan in Beijing at first glance, but a closer look will reveal many differences. The garden has a three-horizontal and three-vertical pattern, a well-connected structure, and very good accessibility. It can be said that there is a residence in the garden and a garden in the residence. In particular, the six courtyards in the garden, which consist of Deer and Crane in Spring, Colorful Clouds Appearing in the South, Begonia in Spring Rain, Western Red Courtyard, Ruijie Sanfang, and Sihe Huifeng, can be said to perfectly represent the architectural culture of the Bai people. No wonder this place is so famous among the people. The three courtyards and one screen wall, and the four-in-one and five patios are a unified portrayal of the architectural pattern of Zhangjia Garden. Among them, Liuhe Tongchun is homophonic to "Deer and Crane in Spring". Deer and crane symbolize happiness, longevity and health, and four and six are auspicious even numbers for the Bai people. Such courtyards embody the Bai people's yearning for a better life. The screen wall is an important part of the Bai people's residential architectural art. It not only has a lighting effect, but also can show cultural cultivation, and has important architectural cultural connotations.

As an artistic girl, I am also very interested in the calligraphy and painting gallery of the folk houses in the park. Walking along the 880-meter-long gallery, accompanied by calligraphy and painting, I really enjoyed it and didn't know where to go. I didn't expect that the Bai people's calligraphy and painting art attainments are so profound. The landscapes, flowers, birds and figures are all full of mind and extraordinary techniques, which are amazing. No wonder many guests call this place the "Dali Art Palace". There are also many flowers here, decorating the houses everywhere, making the entire building complex more radiant. Unfortunately, the most famous camellia was not seen much.

The folk culture of Zhangjia Garden is also very unique. The Bai ethnic group's three-course tea, the singing and dancing performances of Bai girls and boys, and Bai ethnic group's tea and silverware are all not to be missed. My girlfriend and I experienced them all. It was already sunset when we went out, but we were very happy. We have seen majestic Bai ethnic group houses in Dali Ancient City, but they are nothing compared to Zhangjia Garden. Therefore, I would like to highly recommend Dali Zhangjia Garden. If you want to understand Bai ethnic group architecture and folk culture, this is the best place to go.

When you come to Zhangjia Garden, you will see the elegance of Bai architecture and the revival of Bai architectural art. The main entrance is very architecturally distinctive. The first thing that catches your eye is the uneven roofs.

The entire Zhang family garden is built with bluestone bricks, and the entire building is neat and sturdy.

The gate has green tiles and flying eaves, and the complicated decorations have special meanings. There are two door frames, one for the outside and the other for the inside. The inner door frame is recessed, and a red plaque is hung above the lintel, with the words "Dali Zhang Family Garden" written in gilded cursive script.

By Wu Banguo |

Although Yunnan Zhangjia Garden is only a 3A scenic spot, it ranks third on the Dali Architecture Tour Popularity List, second only to the Chongsheng Three Pagodas and Shuanglang Ancient Town. It is a very popular scenic spot.

Dali was the capital of the Nanzhao Kingdom. Since ancient times, it has been a prosperous and bustling capital with many merchants and farmers. Bai architecture usually adopts the style of palaces and pavilions in the Central Plains, mostly made of lime or bricks and tiles, but with flying eaves and corners, which is exquisite and rigorous.

It's a bit regrettable that we didn't ask for a tour guide to explain. If there was a tour guide, we would have a deeper understanding of the history of the entire building.

By Ni Xiazhong |

I am back to my hometown Dali after 30 days of traveling around Yunnan from Nujiang River to Yunnan-Tibet Highway and visiting countless scenic spots. Dali Zhangjia Garden is still the best private garden I have ever dreamed of. Not only do I miss it, I even want to step into it again. Today I visited the garden again and continued to see the details. It took me three hours to get a general idea. I don’t know how many skilled craftsmen it took the previous owner twelve years to complete. Maybe it’s because my last name is Zhang, but I always feel that visiting Zhangjia Garden a thousand times is not enough. I admire the skilled craftsmen of the Bai people in Dali and miss the romance of my hometown!

By Yu Dong & Qiong Qiong |

Zhangjiajie Garden in Dali. It is worthy of being the first garden in Yunnan. The scenery in the garden is pleasant. There are many varieties of flowers, all kinds of them. It gives people a very fresh feeling. The antique buildings are together with the flowers. It makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is a good place for tourism and is worth a visit. The area of ​​the garden is also very large, and there are many people. I am very glad that I chose to go there to play.

The Zhang Family Garden in Dali is picturesque and has a long history. The first time I came to Dali, I realized that the beauty here was really refreshing. My friend introduced Zhang Family Garden, a relatively classical Bai art palace, where the architecture and history are very culturally rich, so I went to this place. The tranquil Zhang Family Garden: art is like a vast sea of ​​clouds, Ronghua Xia Wenkui; exquisite and beautiful architectural art, refreshing; walking into the deep courtyard, Dali camellia is as gorgeous as clouds; through the gallery, the clouds and stones spit clouds and smoke; rhyme landscape; three squares and one screen wall, talking about the hundred children playing in spring, wood carvings are vivid and green; four courtyards and five patios, the origin of Chinese studies, Jingyuan Xiyuan, indifferent to fame and ambition, the world stage, Jiangnan, and tea tasting in Haitangyuan. I was really shocked by the architectural style and artificial landscape of Zhang Family Courtyard. The screen wall is dominated by pink and blue, and is carved with palaces, rockery, flowing water and singing and dancing Bai people, which are vivid and lifelike. It was the first time to appreciate the culture of ethnic minorities up close. I will definitely come back to enjoy this beautiful place next time.

By China-TravelNote users |

Zhang Family Garden has six courtyards and one garden. Walking into the deep courtyard, the camellia is as gorgeous as clouds; walking through the pavilions and galleries, the marble and stones are emitting clouds and smoke!

Three courtyards and a screen wall, where hundreds of people talk and enjoy the spring; four courtyards and five patios, looking up at the gods, the Chinese culture is profound; walking around the corners, the courtyards are connected!

The magnificent flying eaves and brackets, the exquisite carved beams and painted buildings, every step is a new scene!

I came to Dali from Shanghai for tourism. On the recommendation of the driver, I came to a place called Bai Nationality Palace. The 90 yuan ticket seemed a little expensive, but the beautiful sister said it was a pass, with a tour guide, performances, and tea🍵, so I bought the ticket with a try mentality. After entering the gate, everything in front of me conquered me. I heard from the tour guide Jinhua that the Bai people's Ah Peng brother had to learn a craft since childhood, which is carving. The carvings I saw in Zhangjia Garden were all carved by the Bai people's Ah Peng brother with 28 knives. The carvings are very delicate, detailed, and especially beautiful! The screen wall is embossed, with beautiful dances. It's really great👍👍The park has 8 acres and a construction area of ​​4,700 meters. It's a place worth visiting, highly recommended. . 😊😊😊

By Qu Luchun |

Dali Zhangjia Garden has good value for money, and there is a beautiful tour guide named Jinhua who speaks well. The place is also beautiful. You can go there if you want to take photos.

By Taiwu Mountain Falls |

This must be a bad review! Even if it is a waste of time to register, I still have to give a bad review! Because you are a gang that deceives tourists! ! 90 yuan, and you still strongly recommend it. You are a scalper driver who eats food. Damn it! Definitely don’t go! Are the good reviews all fake? ! It only takes half an hour to visit the place. If you pay 15 or 20 yuan, forget it. 90 yuan is 15 yuan more expensive than the 5A scenic spot Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas! Who gave you the face to do this? !

Giving you tea is also to trick you into buying tea.

The performance was just average! After the performance, he tricked people into buying calligraphy and paintings and extorted money, right?

When you enter the park, they trick you into taking a photo and say they'll give you a keychain. Can't I take a photo myself? Don't you see how good you are at taking photos? When you leave the park, they ask you to pick up photos one by one with your ticket, and then ask you if you want to buy photos for 15 yuan. Isn't this just trying to extort money from you?

The photos are just proof that I was there.

I agree with what some tourists said, this place is definitely a stain on Dali travel and does not deserve to be on the itinerary.

By Shan Wenzhuang |

The ancient building style is very classic and worth visiting. It has a heavy historical and cultural heritage. The service staff is warm, beautiful and thoughtful. It's great! It is recommended to visit Zhangjia Garden when you go to Dali to learn about the cultural customs of Nanzhao Dali!

By Ahemaitijan |

I don't recommend you to go there. They are all antique buildings newly built in 2008. The ticket costs 90 yuan. We were recommended by a taxi driver. If a taxi driver recommends you to go there, please give him a contemptuous look. The driver will enthusiastically send you to the door and let you buy tickets. I guess he will get a commission later. After entering, there will be a tour guide to explain to you, and then tell you that there are programs, and sell you all kinds of tea, calligraphy and paintings. The tea is okay, it depends on personal preference, you can buy some if you like. After they finish the show, there will be a calligrapher named Jiang Zhuohua who is said to be invited by Beijing to participate in the 2008 Olympics. Baidu Encyclopedia does not have this person at all. They say that this person's calligraphy can be worth tens of thousands of yuan. After writing on the spot, whoever raises his hand quickly can buy it for 300 yuan. This person is here every day. He is a liar.



Don’t be fooled by my real experience. Those who have given good reviews should think about it, I am also a bit of a procrastinator.



In addition, the food in Lijiang is delicious and the Dali Ancient Town is also fun. Don't just listen to others and do more research before traveling.



The pictures below show that they are all newly built buildings, very fake

By happy |

A tasteful art palace! The garden is beautiful! The owner of the garden lives in such a beautiful place! He also treated us to special tea from his own tea garden for free!

By Pure in Heart |

Zhangjia Garden in Dali is worth recommending. It is a representative building of Bai ethnic minority residence. There are various camellias of different colors, as well as the more distinctive Luhe Tongchun tea and Pu'er tea. Tea lovers can go and taste it.

By Happy |

The garden is beautiful and the free tea from the owner is delicious! I took some back to give as gifts

By China-TravelNote users |

The garden is beautiful, with a long history and culture, and the carvings are very delicate. I also drank the owner's specialty "tea", which was very delicious and left a long aftertaste. I bought a lot and took it back to give to relatives and friends. It is worthy of praise.

By Tea |

I went to Zhang's Garden the other day. The camellia flowers in the garden were in full bloom. I also drank the owner's Deer, Crane and Spring Four-Course Tea and tasted Pu'er tea. The taste was pure and the price was reasonable. I also bought a lot to give to friends.

By China-TravelNote users |

With beautiful scenery, beautiful people, beautiful songs and dances, the fragrance of flowers and the aroma of tea, Dali is a great place to have fun.

By Lu Jinyuan |

Personally, I prefer the three-dimensional murals in the garden. Maybe it’s because I studied design, I feel that there are more things with ethnic characteristics in this garden. Listening to the explanations and watching them, I feel like I’m traveling back in time. It’s a beautiful private residence, and the openwork carvings on the doors are very exquisite. It can be seen that the mine owners at that time were very rich!

By Zhen Qianbo |

I like the camellias inside the most. There are many kinds and varieties. They are all very popular.

The feeling of visiting inside on a quiet summer afternoon is so comfortable and cozy, with shady trees, it feels like going back in time!

The ticket price is not high, there are many attractions inside, it is worth a visit

By China-TravelNote users |

I really like the architectural style, which has a Bai flavor. There are Bai buildings and Western buildings, a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The staff everywhere are dressed in Bai costumes. The dancing Bai girls are very beautiful and enthusiastic. The beautiful girl who led us to the park was very interesting. The three-course tea performance was wonderful and delicious. There is a student discount of 65 per person. It is worth a visit. It feels very good. In short, if you want to feel the strong Bai atmosphere, go there and feel it.

By Yao Peifeng |

I didn't expect that Zhangjia Garden in Dali is a 3A-level scenic spot. I didn't expect that it is a Bai ethnic minority residential building complex covering an area of ​​8 mu. I was shocked when I arrived at the door. The exquisite and magnificent architecture is the representative of Dali residential buildings! I didn't see such a distinctive Bai ethnic minority residential building in the Dali Ancient City for half a day. It seems that it is called the "Dream House" of the East for a reason.

After entering, I found that I couldn't appreciate the magic of the park by myself, so I paid a Bai ethnic minority Jinhua to be the guide. The more I listened, the more surprised I was. I admired the owner Zhang Jianchun's eight-year career in building the park. What kind of belief and strength can enable a person to stick to such a complex and grand project for eight years? It can only be the love of Bai culture!

By Sheng Zherou |

The perfect encounter between romance and traditional architecture, with facial recognition, Zhangjia Garden has the architectural style of Dali Bai people's residences. The whole garden is a work of art, full of artistic atmosphere. The building is very delicate. It is said that it cost 80 million to build. There are also performances and tea for sale. You can taste it for free. I bought a few bags to take home as gifts. It is worth a visit.

By qingcanyang |

There are 19 camellias in the back garden, which are the treasures of the garden. Camellias are the characteristic flowers of Dali, and are called the flower of wealth in the eyes of the Bai people. Dali has a long history of planting camellias. Almost every Bai courtyard will plant some. It is said that "Yunnan's camellias are the best in the world, and Dali's camellias are the best in Yunnan". Dali, where "every family has running water and every household has camellias", has long been a legend. During the Spring Festival every year, the blooming camellias have become the best embellishment of the Spring Festival in Dali.

By diewangbao |

Dali Zhang Family Garden is the palace of the Zhang Kingdom. It has four square courtyards, one after another, and the courtyards are full of flowers and evergreen trees, which set off the ancient buildings' brilliance and vitality. The tea sold here has four flavors of Fenghuaxueyue for you to choose from. The price is affordable and the taste is good. The pavilions, towers, and waterside singing stages are worth visiting.
