The Jinsong Garden in Tianjin is named after its outstanding pine trees and is renowned for its rich pine culture. The pine trees here are backed by majestic mountains. Relying on the wonders of nature, they are full of expressions, sturdy and tall, and come in various shapes. Each pine tree is worthy of being praised in poetry, and each one can become a beautiful picture. Whenever the north wind is fierce and the mountains and plains are dreary, all kinds of plants have withered leaves and branches.
Only the pine forest in Jinsong Garden stands proudly against the clouds. The king of pine trees has a history of more than a thousand years. It is 33 meters high and has a circumference of 4.36 meters. Ancient vines wind around it, and its branches are lush and verdant. Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty thought that ‘seeing countless pine trees, only this pine can be the king’, so he conferred the title of ‘king of pine trees’ on this tree. Under the ‘Eagle Disk Pine’ shaped like an umbrella cover, there is a huge rock. The rock is 1.5 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, and 0.68 meters high. It can accommodate two people sitting side by side. In those days, after Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty came here for hunting, he often chatted and talked about farming with local villager Wei Sanyuan on this large rock. So people call it the ‘Reclining Dragon Stone’. The many natural and cultural landscapes here are also equally fascinating and enchanting. The Qingshui Lake, ‘still water is clear and green, reflected in the lotus’, is full of poetic and picturesque beauty. The ancestor chestnut tree is luxuriant and lush, but its trunk is hollow and can accommodate five or six people to take shelter from the rain. The Bai Guo Yuan is full of fruits and the fragrance spreads for several miles. The Bai Hua Yuan is full of colorful flowers and spring always stays. The ancient Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the combat readiness cave that once concerned national safety, and the ancient Longquan well of the Ming Dynasty tell the vicissitudes of history against the backdrop of the setting sun. ‘Jinsong Garden’ is the carrier of pine culture. It can inspire people and cultivate people’s temperament. It is a good place for modern people to throw themselves into nature and relax. The specific business hours and opening status are subject to the opening situation on that day.Qingshanling Jinsong Garden
