Our third stop for sightseeing in Yangzhou was Geyuan Garden(个園). This garden complex was the family mansion of Huang Zhiyun, a wealthy salt merchant in Yangzhou during Qing dynasty. It is now one of the Four Top Gardens in China. The focus of the private garden is a man-made hill occupying tow-thirds of the total area. It combines lovely northern and southern style rockeries and cleverly created the Four-Season scenery by stacking the rocks strategically. Scattered among these are stone bridges, courtyards pavilions, halls and lots of bamboo plants.
【揚州个園簡介】个園坐落於揚州市郊的東關街,前身是清初的壽芝園。清嘉慶二十三年(1818)兩淮鹽商黃至筠購得此園並加以改建,園中多植竹,因竹葉形似“个”字,得名“个園”。“揚州以庭園勝,庭園以疊石勝”這句話點出了在個園中最知名的以各地不同的岩石,堆疊而成的奇山異景。個園旨趣新穎,結構嚴密,是中國四大名園之一,清朝江南私家園林代表作,也是揚州最富盛名的園景之一。 









個園是以竹石為主體,以分峰用石為特色的城市山林。園中有宜雨軒、抱山樓、拂雲亭、住秋閣、透月軒等建築,與假山水池交相輝映,配以古樹名木,更顯古樸典雅。 

揚州个園內“四季假山”最負盛名,有春、夏、秋、冬四季景色之意境,由樓、臺、廳、軒相連,和諧地串聯在一起,獨具特色。四季假山各具特色,表達出“春山艷冶而如笑,夏山蒼翠而如滴,秋山明淨而如妝,冬山慘淡而如睡”和“春山宜遊,夏山宜看,秋山宜登,冬山宜居”的詩情畫意。
