The Chinese Azalea Garden, primarily featuring the city flower of Wuxi, the azalea, boasts over ten thousand azalea plants and more than 300 varieties. In early summer, the blooming azaleas create the poetic scene described in the Tang dynasty poem ‘A garden of red beauty intoxicating the hills.’
Though the garden is small, covering only 2 hectares, its beauty is captivating. It features the winding and deep Qin Fang Stream with its yellow rocks, the clear and reflective Jian Pond where water lilies float, the perennially flowing Zui Chun Spring tucked away in a corner, the lingering Du Zhi Corridor resembling a sheep grazing on azaleas, and elegant scenic buildings such as Yun Jin Hall, Xiu Xia Pavilion, Zhao Ying Balustrade, Zhen Liu Pavilion, and the Mountain Flowers Pavilion, all contributing to the serene and tranquil atmosphere. The garden combines the charm of the wild with the intimacy of a courtyard, with lush greenery and a quiet elegance. Although it was built in modern times, it captures the essence of ancient gardens. Current attractions in the Azalea Garden include: Jian Pond, Du Zhi Corridor, Moon Gate, and Zui Hong Slope. The garden is open all year round from 08:00 to 16:30, with specific operating conditions subject to daily opening status.Xi Hui Park – Chinese Azalea Garden
