Though occupying a small space, this garden is known for using it well. The design and layout is such that the space seems much larger than it actually is. Nature and man-made structures are meshed flawlessly in this garden. The landscape is accented by prominent rockeries, fish pools and vegetation, and a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere is created.
Windows on the buildings in and around the garden are decorated with woven bamboo latticework, which is designed to resemble various scenes. The architecture is stunning, and is representative of Qing Dynasty style.
The garden is quite different during the day and night, and should be visited at least twice, in order that the visitor experiences the effects of moonlight and bright sunshine, because the two give completely different atmospheres to the garden.
Admission: RMB 30 (Mar.1 to May 31 and Sep. 1 to Nov. 30); RMB 20 (June 1 to Aug. 31 and Dec. 1 to Apr. 30); RMB 80 during the night.
