🔸west gate garden

The Westgate garden was once a private residential garden, dating back almost thousands of years to ancient Rome.
It is a beautiful public garden with wide lawns and tall trees, with beds of colorful flowers that bloom from spring to autumn. Stroll along the river path to see the clear water and weeping willows, as well as leisurely ducks and swans

An old town garden full of Shakespearean architecture. The crystal clear river flows slowly through the center of the town, reflecting the fairy-tale house on one side, becoming the most beautiful scenery of the town. The Shakespearean manor house stands in silence amid trees, flowers and a babbling stream flowing under a short, low bridge. It is now a famous public leisure garden in the area. Swans and ducks can often be seen in the river beside the garden. Vibrant vitality, a reflection of the past, a great view, and a photo. It is like returning to the Monet Garden many years ago, the oily landscape.
