Taicang Nanyuan: In the gardens of the south of the Yangtze River, there is endless childlike fun.
Visiting Taicang and accidentally entering Nanyuan, I found it to be exquisite, small, modern, and characteristic of the south of the Yangtze River, bringing a lot of fun for children.
👉 Taicang Nanyuan
Taicang Nanyuan is located in the urban area of Taicang and is a relocated garden of the south of the Yangtze River. It originated from the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli era from the Grand Secretary Wang Xijue, serving as a place for him to handle government affairs and enjoy the elegance of plum and chrysanthemum.
👉 Rich Relocation Content
Although it is a relocation, the original architectural layout has been retained, and on this basis, some nice check-in spots have been added, such as the Loudong Garden Exhibition Hall, Family Style Museum, Lotus Breeding Base, Bonsai Garden, etc.
👉 Green Wonderland Check-in Spots
I originally thought Nanyuan was a very small garden with average content, but I was surprised after entering. Especially its green wonderland environment:
✅ Shamot Pavilion, surrounded by flat land and lakes on all sides, is a green wonderland;
✅ Zhijin Bridge, surrounded by water and bamboo forests, is lush with greenery;
✅ Xiangtao Pavilion, overlooking the entire garden from the ancient city wall, is comfortable and pleasant, with greenery all around;
✅ Qu Corridor, feeling the coolness of the green trees in the easternmost corridor;
✅ Nanyuan Restaurant, it's also a good choice to have some local snacks and afternoon tea here after coming out.
👉 Childlike Fun Check-in Spots
My child is two years old, and we chose this place to take some photos. Regardless of how they turned out, the environment is very photogenic, especially these places:
✅ Jiukou Bridge, with misty water reflecting the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River;
✅ Peony Garden, surrounded by greenery, bringing happy moments;
✅ Fishing Platform, water play fun, bringing endless childlike joy;
✅ Garden Exhibition Hall, hands-on experience, accompanying the child;
✅ Release Pond, lotus step, step by step joy;
✅ In front of the Loudong Study, a large park for taking photos.
👉 Cultural Learning Check-in
The garden contains 'Xiu Xue Tang,' 'Tan Ying Xuan,' 'Xiang Tao Pavilion,' and other attractions, each with its unique cultural connotations and historical background.
✅ 'Xiu Xue Tang' is one of the main buildings of Nanyuan, originally the study of Wang Wensu, with the hall name inspired by the 'embroidered snow pile' from 'Dream of the Red Chamber.'
✅ 'Tan Ying Xuan' is a great place in the garden to enjoy the scenery, and from the pavilion, one can view the entire garden.

To Taicang, you must visit the South Park! "South Park" began in Ming and Xingqing, the locals called "Taishi Mansion", because the earliest here is the prime minister's office. The "South Park" has been booming and declining several times, Japanese ghosts and "Great Leap Forward" have been scrapped twice, around 2000, Taicang Old City was renovated, more than a dozen old buildings were demolished, and the South Park was rebuilt, costing tens of millions, and finally let this historical and cultural park see the sky again. At present, the "18 scenery" of the South Park has been basically restored, and the South Park is also officially listed as the "Suzhou garden".
Dahuige Qin Building ~ was known as the "first Qin Building in the world" by the ancient Qin world. Xu Shangqian, a representative figure of the Ming Dynasty Lushan Qin, is collected here. There are four cello rooms inside, but unfortunately the second floor is generally not open to the public. The outer corridor of Qinlou is particularly beautiful, twisting and twisting, with stone rafts and rockery, and a mountain of stacked stones. There is a century-old osmanthus tree in the inner courtyard. September is just the flowering season. Unfortunately, the weather is too hot and the flowering period is too short. As a native of the foot of Lushan Mountain, facing such a show of the history of the first Qin Building in the world, pride comes from!
