Yanshan Garden was built in 1869. It was a private garden of Tang Yue, a gentry in Guilin, Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and was named "Yanshan Garden Villa". In 1911, Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, bought this garden for 42, taels of sycamore and renamed it "Yanshan Park". "Guilin is a beautiful place, and you can see it all in one garden." In the 3-acre yard of Yanshan Garden, the beauty of Guilin Mountain, the beauty of water, the wonder of caves and the difference of trees can all be seen, so it is called the epitome of Guilin. After the completion of Yanshan Garden, it was called "the first garden in Lingnan". It condenses the best landscape of Guilin's mountains and rivers, and is also the Jiangnan garden in Guilin's mountains and waters. Yanshan Garden is a place that combines "a treasure trove of geomantic omen", "a magical landscape" and "an elegant residence for celebrities". The geomantic omen of Yanshan Garden conforms to the best principle of geomantic omen in China. Zhong Rushan, facing the gate, has mysterious caves and numerous Tibetan bats, which is the only place in Lingnan where "green hills hide blessings". The water of the mysterious Acacia River flows from south to north, coming and going without a trace; There are thousands of ancient trees in Yanshan Garden, which have different shapes and grow along the river. On the hills of Zhongru Mountain and Fangzhu Mountain in the park, there are strange flowers and trees, which are luxuriant and grow, and they are "natural botanical gardens with karst landforms". Bamboo, green plum, red bean and osmanthus in the garden are the four treasures of the famous Yanshan Garden. Scenery in the park: Acacia River, Flower Temple, Cinnamomum camphora and Ginkgo biloba all have magical landscapes. Yanshan Garden is also a place where celebrities gather elegantly. Famous figures in modern history, such as Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, Lin Sen, Hu Shi, Ma Junwu, Yang Dongchuang, Chen Yinque, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai and Jin Yuxi, have lingered or lived here. Yanshan Garden is one of the cradles of modern culture in Guangxi. Guangxi University, Guangxi Normal University, Yanshan Middle School and Guangxi Agricultural College all run schools here. Now it is the creative base of New literati paintings School in China and Lijiang Painting School in China, and also the campus of Fengyi Academy, Lijiang International Culture College of Guangxi Arts University and the affiliated middle school.
