罗别根花园, Classical garden in Shanghai, China
Robegen Garden is a classical Chinese garden in Shanghai containing ponds, arched bridges, wooden pavilions, and plantings that provide color throughout the year. The layout follows traditional design with curved pathways connecting water features and structures, while open spaces alternate with enclosed areas that frame views of different sections.
The garden was created in the 19th century by foreign residents of Shanghai who blended local Chinese garden traditions with Western landscape design ideas. This mixture of different influences remains visible today in how elements from both traditions are combined throughout the space.
The garden serves as a living space where visitors can observe traditional Chinese artistic practices and craftsmanship displayed within its carefully composed rooms and walkways. The pavilions and courtyards become places where people gather to experience classical aesthetics as part of their everyday encounter with the space.
The garden is near several bus routes and easily reached on foot from nearby subway stations, with walkways throughout that are well maintained and simple to navigate. It helps to bring water and sun protection, especially during warmer months when you spend extended time outdoors.
Some of the oldest trees in the garden are over 100 years old, with roots that partially protrude above ground and create a distinctive character along the pathways. These gnarled forms serve as reminders of the site's long history and the many changes it has witnessed over the decades.
