Always make a trip to Yuyin Mountain House to see these beautiful Manchu windows

Yuyin Mountain House was built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and together with Liangyuan in Foshan, Keyuan in Dongguan, and Qinghuiyuan in Shunde, it is known as the 'Four Famous Gardens of Guangdong'. Originally, I just wanted to stroll around the garden and appreciate the ancient architecture, but I found that the 'exquisiteness' of this garden is far more than the architectural craft itself - the designer is really good at using natural light! Choose a sunny day to come here and enjoy the light and shadow magic of colored glass from more than a hundred years ago. 🗺️ Route: North Gate➡️Xianqu Pavilion➡️Wenchang Pavilion➡️Shanyan Wugong Temple➡️Wopiaolu➡️Shenliutang➡️Linchi Pavilion➡️Original Main Gate➡️Washing Red Cross Green➡️Linglong Water Pavilion➡️Peacock Pavilion➡️Lai Xun Pavilion➡️Yu Garden 📝 Check-in tips: 🪭 The park is divided into the 'Old Park' and the 'Wenchang Garden Scenic Area' built in 2006. The old park includes the four major buildings of 'Shenliutang', 'Linchi Pavilion', 'Wopiaolu', and 'Linglong Water Pavilion'. 🪭If you only want to see the old part, it is recommended to go straight to the 'Original Main Gate' to start strolling. If you are really bad at directions, you can get a guidebook at the 'ticket verification entrance' and take your time to read it. 🪭 The 'Linglong Water Pavilion' and 'Yu Garden' really reflect the wisdom of the ancients. The builders a hundred years ago already knew how to adjust architectural elements to make the room appear bright and transparent. 🪭 The most checked-in place is the 'Washing Red Cross Green Bridge'. Although both sides of the bridge can be photographed, compared to the location of the Linglong Water Pavilion, I personally recommend the location between 'Shenliutang' and 'Linchi Pavilion'. 🪭 Those 'unique Manchu windows are worth taking the time to appreciate'. When the sun is shining, standing indoors, you can not only see the bright patterns on the windows, but also the colorful light reflecting on you! 🪭 In addition to the glass windows, the 'door corridor gray sculpture' connecting different spaces is also very photogenic! 🕐 Opening hours: 8:00-18:00, stop entering at 17:30 🎫 Tickets: 18R/person, half price for the elderly and students 🚗 Transportation information: There is a 'tourist bus line' directly to the 'Subway Yuangang Station B Exit', but I personally recommend 'taking a taxi or driving'.
