Step into history at Yuejianglou Garden, a stunning courtyard established 600 years ago on the north bank of the Xijiang River in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. 🌸 Over the centuries, this scenic spot has transformed from an esteemed academy and a favorite gathering place for literati to a strategic command post.
One of the garden's most notable chapters includes serving as the base for the independent regiment led by Ye Ting, an outstanding military commander whose legacy is still celebrated today. 🏯
After a remarkable restoration decades ago, Yuejianglou Garden now welcomes visitors as a free museum. 🎟️ Here, you can journey through the development of Ye Ting's independent regiment and marvel at an exquisite collection of Duan inkstones, a unique specialty of Zhaoqing with a remarkable history spanning over 1,300 years. 🖋️
Whether you're a history buff, a culture enthusiast, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Yuejianglou Garden offers a captivating glimpse into the rich heritage of southern China. 🌿
