It can be said that everywhere is like a park, with beautiful scenery everywhere. This sea garden can be reached in less than 5 minutes by ferry from Xiamen. The pier building on the island is shaped like a piano. This is a very imaginative and beautiful idea.

The shopkeeper’s name is Lin Shuzang. When the garden was built here in 1913, it was intended to imitate the Hongyi Garden where Jia Baoyu lived in the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
