Located on the east side of Duo’ao Village, Putuo, north of Yingjia Bay Reservoir, Shen Garden is a complex of ancient-style residences built around the story of the Jin Dynasty’s Duke Shen and the Korean filial daughter, Shen Qing, as a cultural garden symbolizing China-Korea friendship.
The garden features main themes such as the ‘Maritime Silk Road’, Shen Qing’s filial piety towards her blind father, the spread of Guanyin culture, and the life scenes of Duke Shen and Shen Qing, showcasing the historical friendship and cultural exchanges between the people of Putuo, China, and Gucheng, South Korea.
Shen Garden comprises several halls and pavilions, including the Maritime Hall, Filial Daughter Pavilion, Duke’s Hall, Shen De Jing House, Qing Lang Pavilion, Tea Source Hall, and Elegant Hall, housing over 300 artifacts, supporting exhibits, and large-scale art pieces that vividly recount Shen Qing’s timeless tale of ‘selling herself to fulfill filial duties’, as well as the longstanding friendship and cultural exchanges between Putuo and Gucheng.
It is open all year round from 08:00 to 11:00 and 13:30 to 17:00, closed on Mondays, with specific business hours subject to daily opening conditions.
