The entrance to Taoyuan Garden is located next to Qinjian Bridge on Qinjian Road, Hongqiao District, Tianjin. Tao Shiyuan is accessible from the north end of Taohua Embankment and Hongta Temple Avenue. Peach Blossom Embankment is adjacent to Bei Canal in the south, Beiyang Bridge in the east, and Qianli Embankment in the west. The peach blossoms on the embankment are mainly mountain peaches, which mostly bloom in March. There is now a landing place for Emperor Qianlong and a royal pier. The former site of Peiyang University Hall is also next to the embankment. There are many old relics and new landscapes, which have profound cultural heritage. The landscape layout in the garden has the characteristics of southern gardens, and the combination of pavilions, stones, willows, flowers and rivers is very wonderful.
The Peach Garden is divided into three parts: when you enter the garden gate, you will see two majestic archways. Between the two archways is the white marble sculpture "Ma Gu Presents Her Birthday". Passing through the Yingchun Garden with jagged rocks, the painted promenade tightly surrounds the Peach Blossom Pavilion. The Yingbin Pavilion with its dougongs and overhanging eaves, the Jiulong Fountain that spurts pearls and jade, and the five-dragon wall imitating the three-color tricolor of the Tang Dynasty complement each other. Passing through the dragon wall where two dragons play with pearls, you can see the tranquil waterside pavilion and the relaxing lotus pavilion, surrounded by a pool of blue waves in the lotus pond.
Climb up to the Peach Blossom Viewing Platform and look at the Causeway in the distance: on the north side, the Grand Canal dug by ancestors flows slowly; on the south end, there are many high-rise buildings in residential areas newly built by contemporary people, with red peaches and green willows hidden among them, as if The fairy scene descends into the mortal world. The elegant Peach Garden has its peak reception period in early and mid-April every year. It is crowded with tourists, and the peak can reach 50,000 people per day.
The history of Taohuadi:
Tianjin is a water city. Since the opening of the North-South Grand Canal, its status has become increasingly important. By the Yuan Dynasty, Dadu (Beijing) became the capital, and the canal was the gateway to The main thoroughfare of Dadu. Xigu and Dinggu became one of the water transport centers and became increasingly prosperous.
The natural landscape of pink willows and green willows has gradually formed here, ranging from Xigu along the canal to the northwest to Taohuakou, Taohuadu and Taohua Temple, known as "Thirty Miles of Willows and Peach Blossoms". The earliest poem describing the Peach Blossom Embankment is "The Peach Blossom Mouth and the Peach Blossoms in the Boat" written by the Yuan Dynasty poet Cheng Chang: "In the Baisha Village in Yangli, Zhigu, the day is not yet dark while holding the boat for hundreds of feet. The people in the willows turn over the petrels, and the puffer fish on the peach blossom spring water "Zhigu" in the poem was the name given to the Haihe area in the Yuan Dynasty, and was later used as the name for Tianjin.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were more poems describing peach blossoms, such as Cha Changye's "Ji Jing": "Looking for fragrance step by step, who builds a fishing platform outside the willow? The spring water is alive in the Seventy-two Gu. The Qing Dynasty poet Cui Xu described the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Embankment in "Hundred Songs of Jinmen": "There are several huts in the east and west, and there is a bay with red water on the bank, and the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze. .
In 1985, in order to develop the tourism resources of the Taohua Embankment, the municipal government listed the construction of Taohua Garden as one of the ten major projects to improve the lives of urban people. In 1991, the second phase of the Taohua Embankment project was not only restored. The natural beauty of peach blossoms and willows is green, and the "Peach Poetry Garden" and "Beiyang Garden" have been built, and the "Canal Peach Blossom Tourism Festival" is also welcomed by all walks of life.
