Tonglu’s Three Palaces and Six Gardens are located within the Yaolin Wonderland Scenic Area. It is a comprehensive tourist destination that integrates karst landscapes, root art sculptures, magical adventures, animal specimens, Terracotta Army figures, and agricultural tools. Blending knowledge, fun, sightseeing, entertainment, and thrill, it offers a variety of amusement activities. The Three Palaces and Six Gardens comprise Dream Stone Garden, Coin Museum, Wonder Palace, Root Art Garden, Agricultural Garden, Miaofeng Garden, and the Strange Stones Museum. Showcasing a collection of treasured artifacts, it not only broadens visitors’ horizons and increases their knowledge but also cultivates the spirit and soothes the mind.

Miaofeng Garden is essentially a garden of landscape potted plants. It displays a large number of exquisite artistic potted plants. When night falls, the potted plants illuminated by colorful lights transport visitors into a fairyland.

Dream Stone Garden mainly houses hundreds of sets of karst cave landscape displays. As it gathers stones from dozens of different caves in the Yaolin area, it represents the essence of karst caves. Every stone seems to be imbued with life.

Root Art Garden specializes in collecting a wide variety of root carving artworks processed by artists. When admiring these root carvings, one cannot help but marvel at the artists’ incredible ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Agricultural Garden showcases southern-style household items rich in ornamental value and historical significance. Visitors can also enjoy highly authentic local snacks—such as tofu pudding.

The Coin Museum houses China’s historical currencies. China has used currency for four thousand years, starting from the Xia and Shang dynasties, with copper coins, iron coins, gold and silver, to the world’s first paper money—the Jiaozi—appearing during the Song Dynasty, up to today’s circulating banknotes. Various forms of currency have existed in parallel or alternated over time, forming China’s unique monetary culture.
