Zhan Garden, Botanical garden in Nanjing, China.

Zhan Garden is a classical Jiangnan garden in Nanjing, divided into an eastern and a western part. The eastern half houses the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History Museum, while the western half contains old buildings such as Yilan Pavilion, the Flower Basket Hall, Zhishuang and Yingcui pavilions, and a main garden centred on Jingmiao Hall, which is flanked by rockeries and a 300-year-old wisteria.

The site originated during the Ming Dynasty when General Xu Da established it, but suffered destruction during the Taiping Rebellion in the Qing period. It was later reconstructed to restore its layout and function.

The garden arranges rocks, water, and native plants following Chinese landscape principles that create harmony between natural and human-made elements. Visitors can see how these traditional methods shape the way people move through and experience the space.

The garden is at No. 208 Zhan Yuan Road in the Qinhuai district, beside Fuzimiao. It is split into two halves: the east side holds the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom History Museum, the west side the garden itself. Allow time to walk both sections, as the paths wind past ponds and rockeries.

The garden's west side holds a 300-year-old purple wisteria near Jingmiao Hall, and the rockeries flanking the hall were laid out when architect Liu Dunzhen led the restoration in the 1960s, his last major project.
