Baomo Garden

宝墨园

A large Lingnan garden in Shawan, Panyu, with exquisite brick carvings, pottery and porcelain sculpted murals, and photogenic nine-bend bridges and koi ponds.

Baomo Garden was first built in the late Qing dynasty to commemorate Bao Zheng and was rebuilt and expanded in the 1990s. Its attractions include Qingxin Pavilion, Baomo Hall, the Purple Cave Boat, and the Thousand Elephants Wall. The most famous features are the large porcelain mural of Along the River During the Qingming Festival and the giant brick carving 'Good Fortune and Prosperity.' Waterways crisscross the grounds, koi swim in great numbers, and arched bridges and covered corridors look like a painting at every turn. Tickets cost about 50 yuan, and it can be combined with the neighboring South Guangdong Garden on one ticket. It is about 5 km from Shawan Ancient Town and can be visited on the same day.
