Yu Ji Ecological Garden is located in Shuyang, China, known as the land of flowers, where Yu Ji was born. To commemorate her, the kind-hearted people of Shuyang have built a special ecological garden in her honor.
Within the Yu Ji Ecological Garden, the use of aquatic plants has pioneered the way for water surfaces without flowers in Shuyang. The garden features water lilies, cattails, and water onions, embodying the saying ‘clear water produces lotus, naturally unadorned.’
Lush green pathways are scattered throughout the garden, and the area covered by roads and civil constructions within the scenic area has reached 30,000 square meters.
In garden design, water is an indispensable element. Ancient poets often compared the water systems in gardens to meridians, stating ‘a mountain with water comes to life, and water with a mountain becomes charming.’ Therefore, Shuyang County has built the water system in Yu Ji Ecological Garden using garden art techniques, treating water features in both dynamic and static ways. Amidst tranquility and elegance, there is a sense of movement.
In the leisure and vacation area, ponds, pools, streams, and hills are constructed, adorned with small bridges and stone steps, creating an infinitely beautiful, harmonious, comfortable, and peaceful ecological garden environment. Visitors feel as if they are in a Jiangnan water town, with a unique charm.
