Zhan Garden, Zhongshan, Private Chinese garden in Zhongshan, China

Zhan Garden is a private Chinese garden in Zhongshan featuring classical southern Chinese design elements. It spans several hectares, with covered bridges connecting northern and southern sections along the Beixi River and traditional buildings throughout the grounds.

The garden was founded in 1998 by Huang Yuanxin as a tribute to his mother. A northern section was added later as a tribute to his father.

The garden's name comes from the surname of its founder, Huang Yuanxin, and it is also marketed as Zhongshan Grand Mansion Gate. Its Suzhou- and Hangzhou-derived design is adapted to local Cantonese water-town settings, and the planting is not strictly traditional: Australian Callistemon stands in for willows, and ornamental Ravenala madagascariensis is planted widely.

The garden lies south of Zhongshan near Huzhou Mountain, along the Beixi River. A covered bridge links the southern and northern sections, so allow time to cross and explore both. Paths and bridges make the grounds best explored on foot.

The garden's plants depart from classical Suzhou practice: Australian Callistemon, or bottlebrushes, stand where willows would traditionally grow, and ornamental Ravenala madagascariensis from Madagascar is planted widely across the grounds. The northern section, added after the first, was a gift from Huang Yuanxin to his father.
