The more you read Dream of the Red Chamber, the more you want to visit the Yihong Courtyard

🏮Yihong Courtyard is one of the main attractions in the Grand View Garden in Dream of the Red Chamber and the residence of the male protagonist, Jia Baoyu. The name Yihong Courtyard comes from the phrase "red fragrance and green jade" written by Jia Baoyu, which was later changed to "red delight and green joy" by Jia Yuanchun, who also gave it the name "Yihong Courtyard." 🏮Yihong Courtyard is located in the southwest corner of the Grand View Garden, surrounded by beautiful scenery, with a small lake and the Dripping Green Pavilion to the north. The courtyard is exquisitely landscaped, with a Xifu crabapple tree and a banana tree in front of the main house, echoing the name "red fragrance and green jade." The buildings in the courtyard are luxurious, with many maids, and it was once a small world full of laughter and joy. 🏮The architectural style of Yihong Courtyard is luxurious, with a plaque inscribed by Jia Yuanchun hanging in the main house, reading "red delight and green joy." The layout of the courtyard is well-arranged, with a three-bay hanging flower gate tower surrounded by corridors, making it spacious and grand. The main house and the side rooms are arranged in an orderly manner, with three exquisite side rooms on each side, making the entire Yihong Courtyard exude the majesty and nobility of a royal residence, and it is one of the most luxurious courtyards in the Grand View Garden. 🏮Yihong Courtyard is not only Jia Baoyu's living place but also the setting for many important stories in Dream of the Red Chamber, reflecting the rise and fall of the Jia family. Although the Grand View Garden has changed over time, Yihong Courtyard still retains its unique architectural style and historical traces, making it an important attraction for visitors to learn about the culture of Dream of the Red Chamber. 🏮Yihong Courtyard is located in the Grand View Garden, at No. 12, Nancaiyuan, Xicheng District, Beijing. 🚗You can take bus No. 49 or 492 to get there. 🎫The ticket price is CNY 40.
