Amazing! Almost missed one of the three must-see gardens in Suzhou.

Huanxiu Villa is one of the three must-see gardens in Suzhou. It is a small, inconspicuous garden, but it is one of the nine World Cultural Heritage gardens in Suzhou, along with the Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden. After all, it has the most beautiful rockery in Jiangnan. The villa was originally the "Jingu Garden" of the Qian family of Wuyue in the Five Dynasties. After many changes, in the 12th year of the Jiaqing period of the Qing dynasty (1807), Sun Jun invited Ge Yuliang, a famous rockery builder, to reconstruct the garden. Since then, the garden has become famous for its rockery. In the 29th year of the Daoguang period of the Qing dynasty (1847), Wang Weiren bought and built the Wang Ancestral Hall, established the Gengyin Yizhuang, and renovated the northeast garden. The garden became part of the Wang Ancestral Hall's "Gengyun Villa" and was renamed "Huanxiu Villa," also known as "Yiyuan."
