Shuihui Garden, Ming dynasty garden in Rugao, China

The Shuihui Garden incorporates multiple water features throughout its grounds, with rivers flowing around the entire property to create connected landscapes and stone bridges.

The construction started during the Ming Dynasty by Mao Yiguan and reached completion under his great-grandson Mao Pijiang during the Qing Dynasty period.

The garden preserves the former residence of scholar Mao Pijiang and courtesan Dong Xiaowan, who engaged in poetry discussions within these grounds.

The garden complex includes ancient buildings, a museum of longevity, a zoo, an amusement park, and a specialized section dedicated to Rugao-style bonsai specimens.

The garden houses a thousand-year-old copper bonsai and displays the largest pinus parviflora specimen recorded in global botanical collections.
