Liangyuan Garden in Foshan City is known as one of the ‘Four Great Gardens of Lingnan’. It was built during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty. The layout of the garden not only adheres to the integration of garden landscapes in Lingnan style, which is delicate and exquisite, but also draws on the openness and haziness in the planning of Jiangnan gardens. When tourists walk among the ancient and charming scenic spots such as ‘Twelve Stone Studio’, ‘Qunxing Thatched Cottage’, ‘Fenjiang Thatched Cottage’ and the dense rockeries and forests, a feeling of refreshment comes overwhelmingly.
Liangyuan Garden has extremely profound cultural connotations. The former owners of the garden, the Liang family, were all from scholarly families. Liang Airu, Liang Jiuzhang, Liang Jinhua, Liang Jiutu and others were all famous poets, calligraphers and painters who were renowned for a time in Foshan. Therefore, the garden is especially filled with the elegant sentiment unique to literati. Opening hours: Open from 09:00 to 17:00 all year round; closed all day on New Year’s Eve.
