There were not many historical building but many trees and plants, which I loved so much. It is a relaxing place that worth spending time if you love plants like me.

Very quiet and beautiful garden, larger and way less crowded than yu garden.
It's a very nice place to take a break from the city...

It is easy to reach by metro (nanxiang station) and in my opinion well worth visiting. Can also be combined with a visit to nanxiang old city and twin towers.

We arrived at Guyi Garden in the midst of the summer heat. It was morning yet the sun had already emerged in full bloom along with the garden’s water lilies.

Located in Nanxiang of the Jiading District, Guyi Garden has been around since the Ming Dynasty when it served as a private garden to a magistrate. Through the dynasties, the garden continued to expand and transform into what it is today: a public space for enjoying nature, conversation, morning exercise routines, and gatherings of retired friends playing cards.

Guyi Garden follows a classical Jiangnan style design with a focus on water, tiled curving roofs, wooden interiors, stone animals and mountains, and blooming flowers – overall, capturing an elegant but natural atmosphere.

We entered the gardens along with crowds of retired citizens, many stocked with cameras and personal equipment. An elderly photographer even took the time to give me advice on how to shoot photos of the water lilies

When I retire, I’m going to make it my goal to go around the country photographing flowers as well (that and sleeping all day….*dreams*)

I think I could spend hours here just like the many people gazing into the water and listening to crickets nestled in the leaves. Despite the busyness, there is was overwhelming sense of peace.

With over 400 years of history, Guyi Garden is a destination I recommend to photographers and non-photographers alike who are seeking a not too tourist location to enjoy the beautiful Chinese architecture and landscape.

Guyi Garden’s admission fee is a mere 12 yuan (around $2 USD) and even free for children.

However, the best part is that Nanxiang Old Town is also right around the corner for who those who are searching for a lunch break or afternoon snack. (Another recommendation – I heard their Xiao Long Bao are a specialty!)

Much bigger than Yuyuan Gardens. Some good examples of Ming and Qing style buildings. Lots of water and bridges. Took about 2 hours.

Takes about 90 minutes from East Nanjing metro station for the train and 15minute walk to the garden.

Although it takes a little while to get there, it's is worth it. It's absolutely beautiful and you can completely forget that you're in a major city. Lovely walks through various gardens, buildings and water features.
