Central area is noted for its magnificent halls and the iconic limestone rock formations sourced from Lake Tai. Eastern section showcases an array Undefined richest plant collections, whist the western part focuses on landscapes of natural beauty with ponds, rocks, and elegant pavilions. The northern section hosts a bamboo grove and pine trees, presenting a serene and intimate ambiance. Throughout the garden, you will find corridors and walkways ingeniously connecting the various courtyards and spaces, offering ever-changing views that encapsulate the essence of classical Chinese garden design.
