Two attractions of China, 'Shu nan zhu hai' and 'Yu yuan'
There are many places to visit in China. For example, The Great Wall, Forbidden City, The Bund and so on. I'll introduce places named 'Shu nan zhu hai‘ and 'Yu Yuan’.
'Shu nan zhu hai’ is a vast bamboo grove that is surrounded bambooes like an ocean that anyone can't see the sights all day long. After seeing, Huang Tingjian of the Northern Song Dynasty said "It is amazing! the landscape is like eyebrows of beautiful women!". As soon as you enter the place, you might be stuck with admiration.
‘Yu yuan’ is a garden in the Gangnam that was built in 1559. It is place that Banyundan that had been bureaucrat of Ming dynasty built for comfortable retirement of his parents. 'Yu yuan' was dedicated 18 years after its construction. Because of the long construction, his parents couldn't see the completion of 'Yu yuan' and Banyundan was dead before long its construction. If you walk in 'Yu yuan' slowly, you can feel his effor for his parents.
Surely, these two attractions are unknown in the world than the Great Wall of China, Forbidden City and The Terracotta Warriors, but I think that beauty and historical value of 'Yu yuan' and 'Shu nan zhu hai‘ are similar to them.
