Tour route: The eastern part is mainly courtyards and buildings, starting from the main gate (facing Renmin Road) — Yuyan Pavilion — Sishi Xiaosa Pavilion — Yuhong Pavilion — Stone Boat, Suolü Pavilion (accessible to the northwest rockery via the Fu Corridor) — (heading south) Poxian Qin Gallery — Baishi Pavilion (heading west from the south end of the Fu Corridor to enter the western part) The western part centers around the pond, with Yuanyang Hall (north of the hall is the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion, also known as the Lotus Hall, and south of the hall is the Chuyue Pavilion, also known as the Plum Blossom Hall) — Biwu Qifeng — Mianbi Pavilion — Huafang Studio — Zhanlu Hall — Luoji Pavilion — Xiao Canglang — Jin Su Pavilion 1⃣️ Lotus Fragrance Pavilion (Chuyue Hall): As the main hall of the entire garden, in the style of Yuanyang Hall, the name Lotus Fragrance Pavilion comes from Du Fu's poem 'Sparse trees under empty clouds, spring lotus fragrance on the mat,' and is also known as the Lotus Hall. In midsummer, one can enjoy lotuses and watch fish from the platform. The name Chuyue Pavilion comes from Yuan Sadula's poem 'Today's return is like yesterday's dream, I hoe the bright moon to plant plum blossoms,' named for the hundred plum trees planted to the south of the old pavilion, hence also known as 'Plum Blossom Hall'; in the harsh winter, one can seek plums and watch the snow through the warm pavilion. 2⃣️ Calligraphy Stones: The corridor walls are inlaid with 101 carved stones of calligraphy by historical calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi, Huai Su, and Mi Fu, known as 'Yi Garden Calligraphy Collection.' They are concentrated on the long corridor south of the western 'Huafang Studio.' The 'Jade Pillow' Lanting and the books of the Five Gentlemen of the Eastern Forest alone are rare treasures. Among them, the 'Lantingji Xu' carved stone is the 'Jade Pillow' Lanting. It is said that Wang Xizhi's 'Lantingji Xu' ink traces were buried with Emperor Taizong of Tang in the 23rd year of the Zhenguan era (649 AD). During the Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao obtained a copy that was no different from the original, which was meticulously carved onto the jade pillow by craftsmen over a year and a half, preserving Wang Xizhi's authentic work, which is extremely precious. 3⃣️ Baishi Pavilion, also known as Suihan Caolu: — As the main building of the eastern garden, Song Dynasty's Mi Fu was obsessed with stones and would bow to any strange stone he saw, hence the name 'Mi Dian Baishi,' and the pavilion was named 'Baishi Pavilion' because of the many strange stones in the courtyard to the north. The courtyard to the south of the pavilion is planted with pines, cypresses, hollies, square bamboos, and camellias, all of which do not wither in winter and flourish alone in the cold, hence it is also called 'Suihan Caolu.' Garden features🈶: The garden is not large, but it absorbs the strengths of various gardens, cleverly sets up landscapes, and has its own style. The garden layout is divided into eastern and western parts by the Fu Corridor, with the eastern part focusing on buildings, courtyards with lake stones, and planted flowers and trees, while the western part has a central pond surrounded by rockeries, flowers, trees, and buildings. In the art of garden construction, it draws from the scenery of various gardens, such as the Fu Corridor imitating the Canglang Pavilion, the pond imitating the Master of the Nets Garden, the rockery learning from the Huanxiu Villa, the grottoes imitating the Lion Grove, and the dry boat resembling the Humble Administrator's Garden. The layout is natural, with pavilions, galleries, and boats that are small and elegant, and the mountains, ponds, flowers, and trees are sparse and pleasant, making it a fine example of a garden. In the western part, based on the Humble Administrator's Garden, the north is excavated to form a pond, with the Yuanyang Hall (Lotus Fragrance Pavilion and Chuyue Pavilion) as the main building of the garden. The stacked rocks in the northwest part refer to the Huanxiu Villa, with the Lion's Den Gorge, winding paths, and bizarre caves.
