Yuexiu Garden

Yuexiu Garden

In October 1999, at the world-renowned '99 Kunming International Horticultural Exposition, "Yuexiu Garden," exhibited by the Guangdong Provincial Government and constructed by the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Municipal and Landscape Gardening, won first place and was awarded the "Best Exhibition Award" for outdoor gardens. Yuexiu Garden is a masterpiece of garden architecture and horticulture that combines traditional culture with modern civilization, showcasing the artistic charm of Lingnan garden design—one of China’s three major garden traditions. To allow the people of Guangdong to appreciate the beauty of Yuexiu Garden up close and to permanently preserve its landscaping artistry for public enjoyment, the Tianhe District Party Committee and Tianhe District Government invested 5 million yuan in collaboration with the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Municipal and Landscape Gardening to rebuild the Yuexiu Garden scenic area within Guangzhou's Tianhe Park.

In terms of its artistic features, the garden not only fully embodies the characteristics of traditional Chinese garden design but also reflects a blend of Chinese and Western gardening styles. Nestled within lush greenery and covering an area of just around 3,000 square meters, the entire garden is divided into eight scenic sections: June Boat Song, Cliffside Beaded Curtains, Floral Island and Coconut Shadows, Secluded Valley Spring Leap, Sunflower Pond and Zither Melody, Pearl River Love Overflow, Painted Boat on Azure Waters, and Scenic Wonders of Southern Guangdong. Following the traditional Chinese garden technique of “gardens within gardens,” each scene is relatively independent yet rich in meaning, interconnected by garden pathways. Each is themed and composed based on the relationship between landscape and nature or regional cultural significance, unified into a cohesive whole.
