The layout of Qinghui Garden is a large garden enclosing smaller gardens. The current Qinghui Garden is roughly divided into three major sections: the southeast corner area entered from the original main gate, the old garden area in the middle, and the new garden area built in recent years in the northwest. Although the areas are separated, they are connected by corridors, paths, and various ingeniously designed small doors, forming a unified whole. Taking the old garden area as an example, its western part centers around a square pond, the boat hall in the north-central part is the essence of this area, and the southern part consists of the Bamboo Garden and the Small Pengbi Shenghua Pavilion, forming courtyards within courtyards, embodying the charm of a large garden enclosing smaller gardens.
