You can also visit: Shuzhuang Garden Shuzhuang Garden was originally the private garden of Lin Erjia, a wealthy Taiwanese gentleman. It was dedicated to the government and turned into a park in the 1950s.

Lin Erjia carefully designed the garden, striving to reproduce the style of Banqiao Villa and the charm of Jiangnan gardens. She used a small bay of sloping land to create unlimited space. "Every spring and autumn, when you climb high and look far away, the sea and sky are the same color."

, Yao Huji", incorporating all the scenery that can be seen around into the embrace of the garden.

He set up 10 scenic spots in the garden, including Meishou Hall, Renqiu Pavilion, Zhenshu Pavilion, Forty-four Bridges, Zhaoliang Pavilion, Hard Rock Mountain House, Twelve Cave Sky, Yiaiwu House, Guanchao Tower, and Xiaolan Pavilion, and added

The small Banqiao in the Banqiao Villa in Taipei has also been moved here. It is small, unique and unique.

Shuzhuang Garden has many scenery, but the most distinctive one is: Hidden Sea: You can’t see the sea along the way. When you get to the garden gate or even enter the gate, you still can’t see the sea. A high wall blocks the view. When I look back, I see the lintel on the inside of the garden gate.

The high-hanging plaque "Zanghai" stands out in front of my eyes, and I immediately understand the meaning of "Zanghai". I turn out of the moon cave door, and suddenly "the sea and the sky are vast", and the sea rushes in. This method of hiding first and revealing later has achieved surprising results.

Clever borrowing: Lin Erjia made full use of the slope facing the sea, the rocks in the bay, and the rising and falling tides. She built steps around the land, built bridges and pavilions, and paved the way for the originally very narrow bay to take advantage of the surrounding natural beauty.

It becomes a hierarchical seaside garden that embraces the sea and has a wide view.

Especially when walking on the Forty-Four Bridge, facing the vast sea and sky, no one feels that it is small, but they feel that the garden is huge.

Nantaiwu in the distance, Yuzaiwei at the foot of the mountain, Danyu, Lantau and Wuyu listed in the list, Sunlight Rock and Hero Mountain in front of you, Haicang Songyu Point in front and the flying seagulls all become the exterior scenery of the garden.
