Discover the tranquility of Songming Garden with this entry ticket. Explore the garden's winding paths, stone bridges, and stacked rocks, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
Songming Garden is located at No.600 Changxu Road, Juyuan New District, Jiading, Shanghai. It is an intimate literati-style garden themed on pine appreciation and tea tasting. Inspired by the literary gathering depicted in Preface to the Lanting Collection by Wang Xizhi, the garden is built around a U-shaped water system, blending rustic Jiangnan charm with oriental courtyard aesthetics. Far away from the hustle of the city, it serves as a quiet hidden retreat on the outskirts of Shanghai. The name Songming derives from the precious pine trees growing in the garden, including Japanese black pine, podocarpus and five-needle pine. Songming is also the name of a traditional Chinese green tea, combining the elegance of pine trees and tea culture.

Enter the ancient stone gate, and you will be greeted by gurgling streams. Winding paths, stone bridges and stacked rocks stretch along the waterway. Mist often drifts over the water, transporting visitors into the serene landscape described in ancient Chinese poems. The core structures are four thatched cottages by the water, named Zichun, Mingtiao, Yingshi and Huaixu after elegant ancient names for lunar months. The cottages feature earthen walls and thatched roofs, built with solid timber and antique lattice windows. The stones for paving and retaining walls are aged reclaimed materials. Tables and decorations inside are vintage antiques collected by the garden owner, creating a genuine antique atmosphere. Each cottage functions as an independent tea house. Open the window and you will see flowing water and green bamboo. Visitors may sit beside the water and experience authentic Chinese tea culture amid the scent of tea and the sound of running water.

On Liuhu Lake to the north of the garden lies Láiqín Island, covering an area of 1.8 mu and surrounded by water on three sides. It is a special interactive zone home to gentle animals including sika deer, alpacas, peacocks and rabbits. Visitors can feed and interact with these lovely creatures. Black swans and colourful koi fish live in the ponds. Walking along the bank, you can watch fish and swans glide across the water. Every corner is ideal for Chinese-style portrait photography. Lush plants including pines, bamboo, lotus and maple trees bring seasonal changes to the garden: fresh bamboo shoots in spring, lotus breeze in summer, red maple leaves in autumn and green pines in winter. Each season offers a unique view.

Songming Garden is also a wonderful venue for cultural gatherings, small events and photoshoots. Unlike crowded tourist hotspots, this peaceful destination is perfect for travellers, couples, family groups and photography lovers who appreciate traditional Chinese aesthetics.
