Ho Family Garden
Hot 5
Ho Family Garden is located on the Xu Ning Men Street of Yangzhou and honored as the first garden of the late Qing dynasty. In general, Ho Family Garden is composed of east and west gardens, garden houses and stone houses. After entering from the east gate, the first thing you see is a beautiful view of flower windows. Keep walking along the stone road and turn left, then you will arrive at the full complex corridor which is more than 1500 meters long. It is worth mentioning that the complex corridor links the whole garden together, which is also the prototype of the Chinese overpass. Located in the middle of the fudao corridor, Shuixin pavilion is the only water drama pavilion in China for its owners to enjoy opera, singing and dancing and enjoy cool scenery. In the south side of the corridor, there are a number of side rooms, small and chic. At the southernmost point of the garden, which is also the end of the whole park, stands the Shitao bookstore, where people can recite poems against each other. It has to be said that Ho Family Garden, with such exquisite layout, deserves the fame of the highest achievement of architectural art in the late Qing dynasty in China.
