It is listed as a key cultural relic under the protection of Shanghai.
The architectural style of Gu Zhong Garden combines many advantages of Chinese classical gardens and has the natural style of Jiangnan gardens. The roads in the garden are paved with stone slabs and pebbles. The layout of pavilions, bridges, roads, ditches, and canals, the architectural design of flying eaves and corners, and the overall layout of greening highlight the characteristics of "green tiles and white walls, bronze and ginkgo". The garden is simple and elegant, quiet and deep, reproducing the ancient Ming Dynasty garden style and life interest.
