Lesser Lotus Manor

Lesser Lotus Manor centers around a large pond with surrounding pathways leading to various structures, including a red brick house and stone archways.

Liu Yong, a merchant of the Qing dynasty, constructed this private garden in 1885, incorporating both Chinese garden traditions and Victorian architectural elements.

The garden demonstrates classical Chinese landscaping principles through the careful arrangement of water features, rocks, plants, and architectural elements.

The garden opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with entry tickets costing 100 yuan that include access to multiple attractions in Nanxun.

The garden features a two-story Western-style red brick house at the southeastern end, which served as a dedicated retreat for female household members.
