The ticket price for Guyi Garden is 10 yuan, which is reasonable and not too expensive. However, the weather was too hot earlier this year, and autumn came too late. The maple leaves weren't red and the ginkgo leaves weren't yellow, so I didn't get to see the beautiful autumn scenery. But the pavilions and towers inside are still worth visiting.
Guyi Garden is located in a small town in Nanxiang. It is not far from the subway entrance and can be reached by walking. This is the cold-resistant water lily I saw in the garden. It is really beautiful. The garden is not big, but it is worth a visit.

Guqi Garden, a classical garden located in Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, Shanghai, has become one of the five major classical gardens in Shanghai with its long history, exquisite architecture and rich cultural connotations. The garden was first built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally named "Yi Garden", which was taken from the sentence "Green Bamboo Yiyi" in the Book of Songs. It was later renamed "Guqi Garden". The layout of the garden is exquisite, with many scenic spots, such as Yiye Hall, Xi'e Pond, Songhe Garden, etc., each of which is full of poetic and picturesque. Strolling in the garden, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, with hundreds of flowers competing for beauty in spring, green shade in summer, red leaves in autumn, and silver in winter. In addition, Guqi Garden also carries rich historical and cultural connotations, and is an important window to understand the ancient garden art and folk culture of Shanghai. Whether tourists or citizens, they can find peace and relaxation of mind here and feel the unique charm of classical gardens.
Flowers in spring don't need to be persuaded, they will bloom naturally Today is a holiday for Qingming Festival. I went to Guyi Garden to see the peonies in the morning. In this season, the peonies are densely blooming, colorful and beautiful. Guyi Garden is the largest Jiangnan garden in Shanghai. The clear pond, fish swimming, and the clouds and sky on the water add a bit of agility and charm to the garden.
Guqi Garden is one of the five major gardens in Shanghai. You must visit it when you come to Nanxiang Ancient Town. It is best to book tickets on the online platform one day in advance, otherwise there will be a lot of queues for tickets on the spot on weekends. The ticket price of 12 yuan is very worthwhile. This is a typical Jiangnan water town style, with a scene at every step, and the park is large enough to produce all kinds of good films. There are indeed many people in the garden taking SLRs to shoot. It is recommended to use the audio guide, so that you can learn a lot more than wandering around by yourself, such as the missing corner pavilion. Only after listening to the guide can you know its historical origin. The buildings in the garden of different styles from the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are great!
Guyi Garden is one of the five classical gardens in Shanghai, 4A scenic spot. Located in the east of Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, 21 kilometers from the city center.

This time I went to the 5th Shanghai Lotus Water Lotus Exhibition. Lotus and water lilies of various shapes in the lotus pond were blooming well. Many potted exhibits had withered. However, some sketch scenes created around the theme of lotus leaves were very interesting. Maybe it was too late and the weather was very hot. In order to pat the lotus, a lot of sweat and a thin rhythm were produced. The zoo deliberately arranged the spray to make the filming enthusiasts better. Unfortunately, the wind dispersed and did not take such an effect. The weather is quite helpful. The blue sky and white clouds have a clear reflection in the lotus pond, which is reflected in the lotus leaves and ancient pavilions and attics.
