Xiamen Shuzhuang Garden
South of Gulangyu Island, Siming District, Xiamen 361001, ChinaAbout
Shuzhuang Garden is located on the south side of Gulangyu Island, Fujian Province. Built in 1931, its original use was as the privet villa of Lin Erjia, a wealthy businessman from Taiwan, who built a replica of his father's residence in Taipei. The place opened to the public in 1955 after it was donated to become a garden.It is purposely built between sea and hills in a clever layout that takes advantage of the natural terrain, using gardening techniques such as "hiding elements", "borrowing from the surroundings" and "combing movements" to achieve an illusion of infinite space and surprise the visitor in every step.
