Yuyin Shanfang Garden
余荫山房
One of the Four Great Gardens of Lingnan, a small and exquisite Qing-dynasty private garden that hides its grandeur and folds a dragon into an inch.
Yuyin Shanfang sits in Nancun Town, Panyu. Built during the Tongzhi reign of the Qing dynasty, it was the private garden of provincial graduate Wu Bin. Together with Qinghui Garden in Shunde, Liang Garden in Foshan and Kezhi Garden in Dongguan, it forms the Four Great Gardens of Lingnan. The garden is not large, but it packs in scenes such as Shenliu Hall, Linchi Villa, Linglong Waterside Pavilion and Huanhong Kualü Bridge, and its wood carvings, brick carvings, lime-plaster sculptures and Manchu-style windows are outstanding. Tickets cost about 20 yuan, and allow about an hour for a visit. It pairs well with Baomo Garden, Shawan Ancient Town or Chimelong on the same day. Near Yuangang Station on Metro Line 7, transfer to a bus or take a taxi.
