We went to the suburb where there is a very old & famous garden called Gu Yi garden(古猗园). Another tyical Chinese tradtional garden—
“Gu Yi Garden is located at Nanxing Town, jiading Country of Shanghai. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 400 years.
The garden has its unique style with exquisite pavilions and chambers, artistic studies and long corridors, pebble paths and winding streams, old twisted locust trees, and flowers of all seasons. It is one of the scenic spots in Shanghai. “
It seems I am not good at taking photos of Chinese artistical views. I just feel too much stuffs there, the space is a little bit crowded. So, I almost didn’t know how to discover some views of my trip.
I saw this middle-aged couple sitting there for a long time. I cant hear what they talked, but from their close posture, the feeling of my heart was a bit different. People all said that the middle ages are the most tough generations of the modern society. The view just let me feel some tenderness, some peace, some joy.
Enjoy your peaceful Sunday!!
I guess the Ming dinasty was very creative. I remember wonderful porcelans from that ages.
It is a good photograph. It is something I would never get to see unless I came here to your blog to have a look. It is the country. Your land. The smells that makes the difference in your being there to take the picture and my being here tryin to imagine what it must be like.

the composition is fine, showing of the circular pattern well!
Nice perspective - you’ve included the history and the present in one fluid photo…
Sorry you can’t visit us, but we can still visit you and tell you that we miss you
Can’t write about tenderness but that garden would be worth seeing, so glad that some of the traditional places remain and have not been demolished, afterall, we can see a new skyscraper any where, in dozens of cities, but old places remain special .
