🌊Zeng Zhao Garden Waterfront Teahouse: A Poetic Jiangnan Retreat
Hey everyone! I recently discovered an amazing hidden gem in Jiangnan—the Zeng Zhao Garden Waterfront Teahouse. It perfectly captures the elegance and tranquility of Jiangnan.
📍Location: Zeng Zhao Garden
Located in Changshu, Jiangsu, it is a classic example of a traditional Jiangnan garden. The garden combines mountains, water, architecture, and flowers, with each step offering a new picturesque view.
🍵Waterfront Teahouse Experience
Sitting at the waterfront teahouse, you'll be greeted by the sight of shimmering lake waters. Koi fish swim freely, lotus leaves abound, and lotus flowers peek out unexpectedly. Brew a cup of Biluochun tea, and let the aroma fill the air. The tea is served in delicate blue and white porcelain teaware, as if transporting you back to ancient times. Pair it with Suzhou-style pastries for a soft, sweet treat. A gentle breeze carries a hint of moisture, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
📸Perfect Photo Spots
1. By the Window: Wear Hanfu, hold a fan, and use the lake view and pavilions as a backdrop to capture photos with classic Jiangnan charm.
2. In the Corridor: Sunlight filters through the wooden railings, creating geometric patterns of light and shadow. Standing here will create a captivating atmosphere.
3. By the Garden Flowers: Whether it's the blooming plum blossoms or the apricot blossoms covering the trees, they complement the Chinese architecture, making every shot a stunning ancient-style masterpiece.
💡Travel Tips
1. Visit in the morning or evening for soft lighting, beautiful photos, and fewer crowds.
2. Prepare a set of Hanfu or a modern Chinese-style outfit to better blend into the garden atmosphere.
3. Make a reservation for the teahouse in advance to secure a better viewing spot.
4.🏠For accommodation, consider the Changshu Manor Boutique Hotel. Free pick-up and drop-off services are available with advance booking, making your trip more convenient!
Come to Zeng Zhao Garden Waterfront Teahouse, savor a cup of fragrant tea, appreciate the beauty of Jiangnan gardens, and immerse yourself in the leisurely Jiangnan time.
