The existing buildings were mainly built during Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. Long Tinghuai, the owner of the garden, built a garden here to serve his mother after resigning from the imperial court, and named it Qinghui Garden, which means "but how much love has the inch-long grass was rewarded with three Chunhui" to show his gratitude for raising his mother. The garden has been built many times by the Long family for several generations, and gradually formed today's pattern.
