The charm is forever there and intact despite of the ever increasing hustles and bustles outside. Good job the local government protecting this ancient, southern Chinese style garden dating back to 16th century. It is of typical southern Chinese style garden with ponds with gold fish, zigzaging cobbled paths and covered walkways and bridges through bushes, flowers and trees. Just... More

Yes, it can be crowded, but worth it - and much more than a garden, it's really the complete estate dating back hundreds of years. There are multiple buildings to see and acres of gardens, ponds and art. It was our first stop with our private guide and we're happy we had a guide, since we saw a great deal... More

This garden is situated about 15 min walk from the bund. It is one of the most beautiful garden I have seen. It is better to go there with a guide p in order not to miss all the sights. There are a lot of tourists there but the roots are made so, that it doesn't bother. You should definitely... More

We have a small Chinese Classical Garden in Vancouver (The Sun Yat-Sen Garden) so we were interested to see a large one. There is certainly a lot of it. There were also a lot of people. Definitely worth a visit, but be prepared for the crowds--you won't be doing much quiet contemplating here.

We had a great tour of the gardens and loved the Rockery with its Great Rockery, 14 meters high. The gardens are 400 years old. The Jade Rock is 3.3 metres high and has 72 holes. It is one of three famous rocks in the southern region of the Yangtze.

This was the only Chinese garden I visited on my trip. It is adjacent to the Bazaar and it's many shoppers and vendors.

Well-kept... More

It is very quiet although in the very city center. Very relaxing place, lots of flowers, trees, hidden gardens. If you want to fully touch Chinese culture from the very past it is a must see.

Very different to other gardens I've visited in China - but equally impressive with the craftsmanship and quality. It's relatively speaking very small but laid out in such a way as it feels much bigger with plenty of eye-candy in every direction. Truly impressive.

A classic garden with abundant flowers, buildings, rock formations, pools. Take your time and wander around and imagine what it must of have been like in the past.
