Taizhou Qiao Garden | Why is this 500-year-old niche garden forgotten!

Taizhou Qiao Garden, first built in the Ming Dynasty, is largely similar to Suzhou gardens, integrating classic elements such as pavilions, rockeries and ponds, and winding paths and corridors, embodying the "changing scenery with every step" design concept of Jiangnan gardens.

Most of the buildings in the garden are in Ming and Qing style, with grey bricks and dark tiles, carved doors and windows, simple and elegant. The main buildings include halls, pavilions, studies, etc. The rockeries, ponds, and flowers and trees in the garden complement each other, with different scenery in each of the four seasons, especially beautiful with spring flowers and autumn red leaves.

What impressed me most was the "Fu" character wall at the exit. A simple "Fu" character incorporates a lot of local intangible cultural heritage.
