Introduction

Zhujia Garden is located on Hanlin Street in Jianshui County. It was built by the Zhweiqing brothers as a residence and ancestral temple in the late Qing Dynasty. The entire garden is magnificent and is known as the "Grand View Garden of Southern Yunnan". The residential and temple sections form a typical Jianshui-style parallel row and combination of houses with a layout of "four vertical and three horizontal". The spatial landscape has rich changes, like a maze. In the southeast corner of the garden, the Huaiyuan Hall displays the "Exhibition of Zhujia Family's Century of Rise and Fall", exhibiting various textual and pictorial materials to show the Zhujia Garden's turbulent fate. In addition, there is a hotel in the garden, although the price is relatively high (about 480 yuan for a standard room and about 780 yuan for a suite), guests can enter the garden for free and take a stroll in the garden at night.
