Yangzhou Ge Garden｜A Hidden Gem That Lives Up to National Geographic’s Hype

#chinatravel A trip to Yangzhou isn’t complete without exploring its classical gardens—and Ge Garden stands out for its seasonal charm and ingenious design. Famous for its bamboo and intricate rockeries, this Jiangnan-style garden lets you wander through the essence of all four seasons at once: lush bamboo in Spring Hill, water reflections in Summer Hill, red maples above ancient rooftops in Autumn Hill, and icy sunlight through patterned windows in Winter Hill. Top photo spots include the iconic “Ge Garden” plaque under filtered sunlight, the lotus-framed “Hutian Zichun” pavilion, and dreamy bamboo paths in Wanzhu Garden. After your stroll, exit through the east gate to enjoy authentic Yangzhou dim sum—like steamed jiu long zhi zun, savory fried rice, and melt-in-your-mouth lion’s head meatballs—all while listening to live guzheng performances. A truly immersive sensory and cultural experience. #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
