位于上海市西南角的青浦县,颇有些江南水乡特色,尤其是朱家角一带,可谓“小桥、流水、人家”了。青浦县是个古县城,古时候的青龙镇,是个繁忙的水运港口,故这里的经济和文化早已很发达,有“小杭州”之称,上海县城远不及它。从文化联系到园林,则青浦一地,也有不少具有传统特色的园林,只惜后来随着经济、文化重心之东移,都渐渐地衰落了。如今青浦之名园,一是建于清代的曲水园,二是建于现代的大观园。有此两处园林,所以这里也不失为旅游的好去处。曲水园位于青浦县城的东北隅,初名“灵园”,本属 Qingpu County, located in the southwest corner of Shanghai, is quite typical of the Jiangnan Water Town, especially in the area around Zhujiajiao. It can be described as “small bridge, running water, and people”. Qingpu County is an ancient county seat. Qinglong Town in ancient times was a busy port for water transportation. Therefore, the economy and culture here are already well developed. It is called “little Hangzhou” and the Shanghai county is far behind it. From the cultural connection to the garden, there is also a lot of gardens with traditional features in Qingpu, but unfortunately they have gradually declined with the eastward shift of the economic and cultural center of gravity. Nowadays, the famous garden of Qingpu is built in the Qushui Garden in the Qing Dynasty, and it is built in the modern Grand View Garden. There are two gardens here, so this place is also a good place for tourism. Qushuiyuan is located in the northeastern corner of Qingpu County, and its initial name is “Lingyuan”.
