Heyuan Garden

Heyuan Garden is a representative work of the Yangzhou gardening in the Qing Dynasty.

Heyuan Garden(Chinese:何园;pinyin:héyuán), originally named Jixiao Mountain Village, is located at the central part of Xuningmen Street on the north bank of the ancient Canal. It was built by He Zhidao, a high-ranking official and dates back to the 9th year of Qing Dynasty Emperor Guangxu's reign (1883).

This garden is famous for a 430m. (1,377 ft.) two storied winding corridor, the walls of which are lined with stone tablets carved with lines of classical poetry, In the garden is also an open air theater set on an island in the middle of a fish pond.

The garden is divided into three parts: the northern part is the rear garden; the central part is a courtyard in a mixed Chinese-Western style, a model of the combination of Chinese architectural art with Western style in this field; the southeastern part of it is an area of guarinite-built houses.

Rated as a representative work of the Yangzhou gardening in the Qing Dynasty, it is now listed as a unit of the cultural relics under State protection.
