The most picturesque parts of the park, which convey the spirit of medieval China, are the promenade gallery, “Hall of Ten Thousand flowers ”, hall“ Yuhua ”and a book office. In the galleries and halls of the garden, you can see rare examples of calligraphy and Chinese painting, porcelain dishes and antique furniture.
