小盘谷, National heritage site in Yangzhou, China.
Xiaopangu is a protected cultural site in Yangzhou that contains traditional Chinese garden buildings, including pavilions, water features, and carefully planted areas. The grounds connect multiple spaces that can be explored on foot throughout the day.
The site received national protection status in 1985 as part of China's cultural preservation movement. This recognition acknowledged its importance in maintaining ancient Chinese architecture and garden traditions.
The site shows how traditional Chinese gardens were built to invite reflection and observation. Visitors can see how water, stones, and plants work together to create spaces for quiet thought.
The site is accessible during regular hours and can be explored independently at your own pace. Information boards in multiple languages are placed throughout the grounds to help with navigation.
The garden transforms its appearance throughout the year as different plants bloom in each season. This creates distinctly different visual experiences when visiting in spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
