As one of the key tourist attractions within the National Tourist Attraction of “Taihu Lake”, Liyuan Garden is located at the shores of Lihu Lake, which is a jewel nestled within the revered expanse of Taihu Lake. The garden originally consisted of two adjacent private villa gardens: the Liyuan Garden, built between 1927 and 1937, and the Fisherman’s Villa, built from 1930 to 1937.In 1952, a gallery known as the “Hundred-step Corridor”was added, merging the two realms into a single public garden now known as Liyuan Garden.
