🌸Speaking of the small town of Liyang in Changzhou, does your mind ring a melodious tune "Spring dusk please accompany me to the water town of my dreams..."
Walking in the city of Liyang, I came across a classical garden - Gaojing Garden. It sits on a small island surrounded by water. It is part of the private home forest "Green Grassland" of Peng Qin, a Jinshi of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. 🌿There are huge Taihu stones in the garden, with the two words "Gao Jing" engraved on the stone surface, which is said to be the gift of the Song Gaozong to the right prime minister Zhao Kui. There is also a Taibai Tower, which was built in memory of the poet Li Bai.
The whole garden is not big, but the layout is quite characteristic of Jiangnan gardens, with fake mountains, pools, pavilions and pavilions, every place reveals a classical rhyme.
If you are looking for a peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city, then Gao Jingyuan is definitely the best choice for you. More importantly, you don't have to buy tickets here❗ It's a good place to take photos of ancient style📷
