Jinghua Garden
Jinghua Garden is a National AAAA-level tourist attraction.
The Jinghua Garden scenic area was officially opened on January 8, 1993. It covers an area of 199,800 square meters. It is a privately and collectively owned venture affiliated with Jinghua Village in Xiaojixiang Town, Xinxiang County, and is managed by Henan Jinghua Industrial Company. In 2005, the scenic area was rated as a National AAAA-level tourist attraction.
Scenic route: Enter Shanhaiguan, visit the various attractions in the Northern Ethnic Area, pass through the Central Plaza, head to the East Sea, ascend to Tiandi Palace, go south to the Southern Ethnic Areas, visit Buddha Pavilion, Space City, and Disneyland, then exit through Jiayuguan. The route is scientifically planned and forms a loop.
Jinghua Garden is a cultural landscape that differs from the singular cultural structures of ancient temples, monasteries, and palaces. It integrates Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism within one garden, presenting a vivid and concise portrayal of the splendid 5,000-year cultural history of the nation and the rich folk customs of all ethnic groups. Surrounded by the winding and undulating Great Wall, it resembles a map of China. The towering Shanhaiguan, Jiayuguan, and Juyongguan stand proudly, while the Yellow River and Yangtze River flow through the area. The offshore treasure island of Taiwan is connected to the mainland by a cable car. The towering 50-meter "Tiandi Palace" houses the "Hall of Famous Emperors Through the Ages," "Mansion of Renowned Officials and Generals," and "Gallery of Central Plains Celebrities." Notably, the "Gallery of Central Plains Celebrities" may be the first of its kind in any domestic scenic area, fully reflecting the brilliant culture of the Yellow River… Ethnic architecture and layouts are primarily grouped by settlement areas, arranged in a harmonious and distinctive array of ancient styles. Mongolian yurts, Uyghur scripture rooms, Miao stilted houses, Dai bamboo houses, Buddhist pagodas, as well as traditional-style dwellings of the Tujia, Zhuang, Korean, Tibetan, and Bai ethnic groups, all feature simple yet orderly interiors. The colorful and vibrant traditional costumes of each group add to the rich tapestry of folk culture. The garden is alive with music and dance, fostering cultural exchange and ethnic unity. Regular events such as the Dai Water-Splashing Festival, Northern Ethnic Cultural Festival, and Yi Torch Festival bring joyful community spirit...
In terms of garden design, Jinghua Garden showcases the essence of classical Chinese landscaping with innovation and unique features. Over a decade of growth has nurtured lush pines, cypresses, willows, green lawns, and blooming flowers, forming a series of mini-gardens: Cypress Garden, Bamboo Garden, Chrysanthemum Garden, Plum Garden, and more. Buildings are nestled among green trees and vibrant blooms, creating breathtaking views and adding a touch of natural beauty to Jinghua Garden, filled with vitality and energy.
