In Search of Peace and Health: Yuyuan Garden
The Hall of Jade Magnificence is a study furnished entirely with rare
rosewood pieces dating to the Ming Dynasty. A corridor, some brooks and mountain
stones, etc, lie between the Hall of Jade Magnificence and the
Ten-Thousand-Flower Pavilion.
 The Inner Garden is a microcosm of Yuyuan Garden, created
by combining the east and west gardens in 1956. Covering an area of only two mu
(0.133 hectare), the Inner Garden was first built in the 48th year (1709) of the
Kangxi
reign of the Qing Dynasty. Its elegant rockeries, ponds and walls give the Inner
Garden a delicate and exquisite beauty.
 Standing beside the Lotus Pool, one can spot groups of red
cyprinoids swimming - a relaxed and harmonious scene that leaves an indelible
impression of peace and tranquility.
Yuyuan Garden is a representative of the classical architectural style and is
acknowledged as an architectural miracle in the region southeast of the Yangtze
River.
