Tian Xia Yu Garden, located in Dayin Town, Yuyao, is a popular artificial attraction among locals. Throughout the garden, traces of jade can be found almost everywhere, and it also serves as a sizable park with scenic lakes and mountains complemented by artificially constructed temples and pagodas, making it a visually delightful place. Upon entering the scenic area, the first thing that catches the eye is the surface of Xiu Lake, with a yellow jade piece standing on a small island in the middle, said to be invaluable. This jade piece is also a symbol of the scenic spot, perfect for capturing a memorable photo. Following Xiu Lake, there are five major scenic spots including Xiyin Zen Temple, South Altar, Phoenix Terrace, Xiu Lake, and Yu Garden Gate Tower, which can be explored either on foot or by taking the scenic area’s electric carts.
To the left of the main gate along the lake, there is a jade exhibition hall displaying a variety of jade items, many of which are of high quality and worth careful appreciation. Adjacent to it is the Xiaozi Garden, a Suzhou-style garden where one can stroll at leisure. To the right of the lake is the Bachelor’s Pavilion, which features a water corridor leading to the lake surface for sightseeing and taking a standard photo of Xiu Lake and the opposite Jade Buddha Pagoda. Climbing the Jade Buddha Pagoda offers a panoramic view of the entire Tian Xia Yu Garden, providing a very expansive feeling. Continuing from the Jade Buddha Pagoda, the Xiyin Zen Temple is not far away, with its architecture modeled after ancient palaces, exuding a majestic presence. Inside, it houses more than 20 jade Buddha statues, all carved from Xiuyan flower jade, which is quite unique and a must-see attraction in the Tian Xia Yu Garden.
