Description: |
|
Located at 701, Qing-Shang Expressway on the east bank of the
Dianshan Lake, The Grand View Garden Area of Shanghai is both a
large classic architectural complex and a modern garden. It
consists of the east and west scenic areas. The east scenic area
has the Shanghai folk cultural village, the plum garden, and the
osmanthus garden as its main scenic spots. The east scenic area
is modeled on A Dream of Read Mansion, a Chinese classic novel
by Cao Xueqin in the Qing Dynasty. It is a large classic
architectural complex constructed using the traditional Chinese
gardening art. It covers an area of 9 hectares, of which the
classic buildings occupy 8,000 square meters, including 20
architectural complexes like Daguanlou (Grand View Tower),
Yihongyuan (Cheerful Red Court), Xiaoxiangguan (Bamboo Lodge),
Hengwuyuan (Lush Grass Court). The chambers in the garden are
luxuriously and elegantly decorated; ancient and well-known
trees are set off by red columns and colorful walls, giving
tourists a sense of the grand royal garden and the graceful
garden in southern China. Every plant in the garden fully
embodies the fine mood depicted in A Dream of Red Mansions. In
the east of the grand view garden is a piece of land of 100
hectares, on which are planted 340,000 trees. In addition, there
are also some other scenic spots here like “Plums at the Hollow
Bringing a Strong Sense of Spring”, “Willows on Riverbanks
Signaling the Advent of Spring”, “Golden Snow and Lingering
Fragrance”, “Flowers Competing for Beauty”, of which “Plums at
the Hollow Bringing a Strong Sense of Spring” is the best place
in Shanghai to appreciate plum flowers. |
