A Complete Qing Dynasty Experience – Splendid China New Yuanming Garden
Stepping into Splendid China New Yuanming Garden is like entering a garden from the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago, giving you the illusion of traveling back in time to the prosperous days of the Qing Empire. Known as "the only imperial garden in southern China," Splendid China New Yuanming Garden is not only the largest tourist attraction in Zhuhai but also one of the top ten tourist attractions in Guangdong Province. Its unique offerings make it a must-visit destination for travelers to Zhuhai.
In addition to the stunning scenery everywhere, what takes the fun to the next level is the up to thirty performances held throughout the day.

It’s worth noting that large-scale song and dance performances such as "The Qing Dynasty" and "Qi’ao Storm" are held at night, so if you want to enjoy these grand productions, it’s recommended not to enter the park too early, as Splendid China New Yuanming Garden does not allow re-entry.
