Yechun Garden (冶春茶社) is a distinctive garden in Yangzhou, China.[1] Yechun in Chinese means "girls and boys go on some outings in spring".

Brief Introduction

Yechun Garden was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasty and was once part of the imperial park.[2]

History

Yechun Garden used to be the Qing Dynasty poet Wang Yuyang's private garden, where he recited works with a circle of friends.[3] After the liberation of China in 1949, the city of Yangzhou touched the scenery around Slender West Lake by establishing a garden covering Shengqing teahouse, Xiangyinglang teahouse and Yechun flower house which all lie on the banks of Slender West Lake with its original name Yechun.
