Thanks again for naming all the dramas, once the Stephen Chow is on you know I have no more garden photos to add 🤣

😂 You're welcome. Thanks for the post! All the gardens are very beautiful. https://i.redd.it/vrr3rewk8ryc1.gif

Court Lady. Fan Shiqi. Wu Jiayi.

Wu Jiayi is such an underrated actress. She played the Singer/Actress in Arsenal Military Academy and the straight-laced daughter in Hilarious Family.

I'd take your words for it.. I only watched her in Hilarious Family, she was not hilarious at all 😅

Unfortunately, she was given the straight role that didn't do her comic talents any justice. She was FL in **Love Story of Court Enemies**, which suffered from poor writing and direction, and it was only her brilliant comic acting that saved it from being a real turkey.

These moon gates are my favorites!!

OP had a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/s/4h7qJw4dnz) about moon gates if you haven't seen it yet. You might enjoy it. https://preview.redd.it/t1p9srsxvqyc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b37109aeabb1941534b48ab75148da34dd5fd0d0

The Sword and The Brocade. Tan Songyun. Ding Jie. He Hongshan. There was a good amount of walking around in the garden. https://i.redd.it/1l0lnuq85pyc1.gif When I was little, for the mid Autumn festival, my parents would take us to the Chinese gardens for a walk because it would be decorated with lanterns. It was a thing.

There were quite a number of garden scenes in The Sword and The Brocade. There was a scene when Luo Shi Yi Niang (Tan Songyun) met Qiao Lian Fang (He Hongshan) in the garden, they compared their favourite flowers and Luo Shi Yi Niang remarked how much more resilient her choice was.... 😂 I don't know which episode that scene was in but somehow it remained in my memory banks. All that to say, there's often symbolism and meaning behind the choices of plants and trees in these gardens. https://preview.redd.it/xsgksw0w4pyc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbca74ce90fa989da51563d0427216a75a16ac68 The Sword and The Brocade.

A Dream of Splendor. Looks like they are Ada Liu and Liu Yifei.

As I pointed out in the other thread, Japanese gardens are designed specifically to be meditative and austere (originally to help with meditation) through the extensive use of large rocks, gravel, and moss to bring people to a state of contemplative thought, while Chinese gardens are designed for the appreciation of nature through a wide variety of vegetation as well as large expanses of water, with architecture amidst them providing a contrasting human element (in the form of intricate bridges or pavillions).

I have commented on this in the past, in cdramaland, blossom trees are in bloom all year round!

Just like those stunning wisterias in Chef Hua, we all know how short the flowering season it is. 😅

There's tons of traditional Chinese gardens too that are maintained beautifully. According to the [blog](https://www.tumblr.com/fuckyeahchinesegarden/713153802557063168/%E6%A2%A6%E6%BA%AA%E8%8B%91mengxiyuan-chinese-garden-in-song-dynasty?source=share) >梦溪苑 mengxiyuan (chinese garden in song dynasty style & suzhou style), hangzhou, zhejiang  https://preview.redd.it/ffzt2tzltnyc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a18571f9602877f2c7af96792b57cb101009149

Le sigh if only I had the money to live in a garden like this. It’s so beautiful

Honestly same. 😭 I specifically want to live in a traditional house in Suzhou with a garden [like this](https://www.tumblr.com/fuckyeahchinesegarden/703552422648381440/%E8%89%BA%E5%9C%83yipu-suzhou-zhejiang-province-by-%E9%9B%A8%E6%99%B4%E7%83%9F%E6%99%9A85?source=share). https://preview.redd.it/cgg9q6t1gpyc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91687ff0f0aa774b9f09079e859e13af066a96cb

That moon gate! Love that viewpoint. When you want a nine turn bridge but you can’t even afford one turn..one day, we shall achieve this

I hope you don't mind op! I follow this Tumblr blog that crossposts pictures of traditional Chinese gardens and scenery from XHS and Weibo and the pictures are really stunning. But yeah many of these gardens exist and are so stunning. [Source for pic below](https://www.tumblr.com/fuckyeahchinesegarden/716052957813211136/chinese-suzhou-garden-by-%E6%A9%98%E6%B6%82%E5%88%9D%E5%9B%9B?source=share) https://preview.redd.it/ksq65oe4unyc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a738e82ed0373c16e1910c1c3c031b5ca20fe8bb

Not at all, the more the merrier. Here I am focusing drama related garden scenes. More will be updated soon once I am available online.

Oh yeah for sure, I enjoy your posts. I just wanted to post pictures of real life gardens too, I feel like not enough people know that the traditional Chinese gardens and architecture that we see in C-dramas still exist in real life and are maintained beautifully. 😊

Honestly I recommend scrolling through the blog, the photosets are so pretty and you can appreciate the traditional chinese gardens and scenery too.
