Ge Garden |

　　 Yangzhou's other famous small garden is called the Ge Yuan, and is famous for two things - its excellent collection of different types of bamboo and a garden design based on the four seasons of the year. Constructed at the start of the 19th century, it is much more traditional than the He Yuan. Its builder, a wealthy Yangzhou salt merchant, especially loved bamboo and planted many different varieties of bamboo around the garden. The different bamboos are especially striking together with the garden's rock formations, since the twisted gray rocks make an interesting contrast with the different shapes and shades of color of the bamboos. The overall layout of the garden is designed to look evoke the four seasons. Instead of directly representing the seasons, the plants and rocks and pavilions are laid out to evoke different mood appropriate to the seasons, and is laid out in a circle to mirror the progress of the year through the different seasons.
