The Jichang garden(the Garden of Ease of Mind) in Wuxi a masterpiece of classic Chinese gardens and has been duplicated by Emperor Qianlong in order to enjoy it daily. It is located within the Xihui Park. Built in the classic southern Chinese style, Jichang Garden is located in the eastern foothills of Huishan Mountain in the western suburbs of Wuxi. Constructed between 1506-1521, the garden occupies only one hectare of land and is well integrated into the surrounding landscape due to the ingenuity of its designer.

Qing emperor Qianlong (1736-1795) was so impressed by this garden that he ordered a replica the Garden of Harmonious Interest to be built in the Summer Palace in Beijing. A lovely teahouse (Jiashu) built during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD) overlooks the pond.

The present Jichang Garden consists of two parts: the pool-dominated east and rockery-dominated west. The Jinhui Rippling Pool is at the center of the Jichang Garden, surrounded by all the beautiful scenic spots of the garden. Reflections of hills and pagodas can be clearly seen in the pool with glistening light of waves. It is a classic example of view-borrowing gardening design. The rockery in the west is completely piled up with yellowish brown stones, modeling after the terrain of the Huishan Mountain. Diverted spring water runs through the rockery like the mountain stream. The streaming sound is extremely beautiful, just like an eight-note tune. That's why the spring is called "Eight-note Stream" and "Three-tier Spring".
