Have you visited these four cultural landmarks in the southern suburbs of Shanghai?
Why not take a walk around these four cultural landmarks in Fengxian!
Recently, Fengxian's new landmark, Yanzi Academy, was officially opened. The north-south axis symbolizes Yanzi's extraordinary path southward to preach and teach. This pure white cultural exhibition building will satisfy you every time you take a photo~
At the main entrance of Yanzi Academy, there stands a statue of Yanzi. This is the facade of Yanzi Academy, but also its connotation. It is also a must-visit "check-in point" for every citizen and tourist who comes to Yanzi Academy for the first time. .
Walking straight along the promenade is a beautiful bridge. The bridge symbolizes access and happiness in Chinese culture. Crossing the bridge, the design style of the entire building is very "minimalist", with sharp lines and large areas of white space, which is super eye-catching.
Walking into Yanzi Academy, it seems that under the leadership of Yanzi, you are traveling through the historical era when hundreds of schools of thought contended, and thinking about the educational significance of Confucian classics in the present.
The backyard of Yanzi Academy interprets the full oriental aesthetics and splendid Chinese culture with the design concept of "water garden academy, poetic realm". The winding paths of the garden blend together to create a literati picture of Jiangnan temperament between reality and reality~
In the quietest and most comfortable depths of Yanzi Academy, surrounded by greenery, you can also enjoy a cup of tea. The scenery in the courtyard of "Na Na Teahouse" allows you to be surrounded by natural mountains and rivers and enjoy a moment of tranquility. Integrate the four arts in drinking and eating, use "food" to keep pace, and imprint "culture" in your heart.
This autumn, come to Yanzi Academy to pay homage to the sages and experience the leisure time in the urban forest!

Nine Trees Future Art Center is located in the Central Ecological Park of Fengxian New Town. It is a "forest theater" that integrates architecture, nature, city and water system, realizing the harmonious resonance of nature and music.
The Nine Trees Future Art Center is home to Dayin Bookstore’s Nine Trees Art Bookstore, Yinxi Tea House, Yichi Garden Coffee and other shops. Dayin Bookstore also organizes various cultural activities such as reading, art, performances and creative crafts from time to time. .
Fengxian Museum is located on the bank of Shanghai's Zhiyu Jinhai Lake, with a total area of approximately 36,000 square meters. It was designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto.
The three elliptical building units are connected to each other through corridors. Against the backdrop of the surrounding natural landscape, they are as beautiful as "big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate".
The museum has multiple exhibition halls with more than 3,000 cultural relics in its collection. Each exhibition hall has a different theme, bringing a new visual feast.
Shen Family Garden, built in the 1920s, was originally Shen Menglian's private garden, covering an area of 24.24 acres. It is one of the masterpieces of Shanghai-style garden residences and the only century-old garden in Fengxian that has been completely preserved to this day. It has important historical and cultural value. The magnolia grandiflora, wintersweet and jujube trees in the garden were all planted in the early days of the garden. The garden has an elegant environment and is a scenic spot.
In 2014, it was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Shanghai. The building is three stories high and faces south. There are two symmetrical pavilions on the east and west sides of the top floor. The three floors shrink towards the middle, covered with red tiles and fake fourth-story dormer windows. At the end of 2018, the Fengxian District Committee and District Government launched the "Nanqiaoyuan" urban renewal project, taking Shenjia Garden as the first phase project to carry out overall renovation of the main building of Shenjia Garden and garden management. While retaining the original flavor of the compound, it combines fashion with simplicity, and connects tradition with innovation.
