Exploring Yangzhou in wintertime

Yangzhou, an elegant city in the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal in southern Jiangsu province, is highly reputed globally for its fresh, poetic and delicate water-town landscapes and gardens. The city has a unique charm in wintertime.

Geyuan Garden, dotted with delicate arrangement of bamboo and stones, graceful natural beauty and architecture, glistens in the fresh snow during wintertime in Yangzhou. The garden is a well-preserved traditional garden that was renovated and expanded by a rich salt merchant in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and it also holds the record of having the longest history among all the classical gardens in China.
