Which is more worth going to, Yangzhou Heyuan or Geyuan?
The following information is for your reference. You can choose one according to your hobbies: the owner of Ge Yuan is Huang. Because of his love for bamboo, there are a lot of bamboo in the garden, and half of the bamboo characters are just words, hence the name Ge Yuan. There are many kinds of bamboos in Geyuan, and the garden scale is also large. Together with other royal gardens, it is also called "Four Gardens in China". This is enough to show the grandeur of a garden. For a salt merchant, this is a great thing. Compared with a garden, the scale of Heyuan is much smaller. Heyuan is an official office named He. Judging from the scale of the garden, this family is willing to thrive without it. Heyuan was built in the late Qing Dynasty and is known as "the first garden in the late Qing Dynasty". Although the scale is not large, the design is extremely ingenious and incorporates many western styles. Many places are designed with a sense of hierarchy and even modernity. We can find many similar things here, and Miss Bihow's boudoir is the best example. In Yangzhou, many people say that the feng shui of a garden is not good because the Huang family finally declined, and the children of He's family are "promising". In fact, the answer has been revealed from the architectural styles of the two gardens. Although this garden is magnificent, most of it is in the classical style of China. It can be seen that although the master was in the late Qing Dynasty when western culture invaded, the feudal thought was deeply rooted. The only thing in the whole garden that can represent that special era is a piece of glass imported from abroad. On the contrary, there are western objects such as phonograph in Heyuan, which reflects the owner's acceptance of advanced culture. This is that only when people adapt to the changes of the times can the world survive better.
