Ge Garden

It is located in the northeast corner of the ancient city Yangzhou.

I was designed based on the theory of Chinese landscape painting.

The varieties of bamboos in the garden are as many as stars and

the bamboo forests follow closely one after another.

The hills of four seasons were piled up by snail stones, Taihu stones,

yellow stones and Xuan stones.

A seven-room long building goes around the summer and autumn hills.

A season-transitional path looks marvelous.

A queer Taihu rock is standing in the middle of a small curved clean lake.

Nearby there is a sedate pavilion called Qing Yi.

In the book rooms of the mansion on an exquisite hill ,

famous Chinese paintings, books and calligraphies are quite complete.

In the Autumn-Stop Mansion at the peak of the Autumn Hill,

a poem on Chinese plum and rain was written by the famous ancient artist Banqiao Zheng .

There is a three-room hall with surrounding windows facing east open area.

It was the guest hall and good place for playing Qin and Se two plucked musical instruments.

A curved corridor with a little pavilion is a place for one to search for good sentences.

The setting sun shines sideways on bamboos and as a result, innumerous Chinese word “Ge” appear on the ground.

个园

扬州古城东北隅，山水画理于一体。

竹种如星林相依，笋湖黄宣叠四季。

七楹长楼环夏秋，时光隧道堪称奇。

绿水一弯太湖石，端庄小亭称清漪。

玲珑山馆丛书楼，名人字画名书齐。

秋山南峰住秋阁，雨梅诗句板桥题。

东阔三楹环虚窗，待宾客轩琴瑟宜。

曲廊小阁寻句处，斜阳映竹万个字。
