On July 26, the reporter went to the China Garden Museum, only to see two stone lions guarding the left and right sides of the door, which was quite imposing. The museum is mainly composed of exhibition halls, indoor exhibition gardens and outdoor exhibition areas. Most of the outdoor landscape restores the real landscape of the garden, and the buildings in the garden are very elegant with distinctive local features. In the garden, tourists take a red cheongsam and hold a round fan in their hands, as if they came out of ancient paintings. In the shade of the trees, while sitting under the pavilion to cool off, you can also see the geese lined up in rows, swaying out of a neat route. There are countless fish swimming in the pond, all of which are brightly colored, with brisk movements.
Located at the foot of Ying Mountain on the Banks of the Yongding River in Fengtai District, Beijing, adjacent to the Beijing Garden Expo, the China Garden Museum is China's first garden-themed national museum, covering an area of 65,000 square meters, consisting of 10 indoor exhibition halls, 3 indoor exhibition gardens and 3 outdoor exhibition areas.

The cornices in the garden are like the wings of birds, the roof and beams are carved with allegorical patterns. Its color scheme is supported by the traditional Chinese five-color view, whether it is green brick tiles or painted decorations, they are extremely exquisite and presented to visitors in an intuitive way.
"My daughter is very interested in these things, and usually learns some oracle bone script in school, so I said to take her over to see these totems and so on."Tourist Ms. Wang said. "Not only my daughter, I am usually very interested in garden art. When I am in Suzhou, I will go to various gardens to visit, and now I can't miss the garden museum, which is a good place."
