Jichang Garden was originally built during the Ming Dynasty, with Mount Hui as its backdrop. It is an exquisite work among the gardens of literati in the south of the Yangtze River, and is known as one of the four great gardens along with the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, and the Zhan Garden. After Emperor Qianlong's southern tour, he was so enchanted that he later replicated Jichang Garden in the predecessor of the Summer Palace, the Qingyi Garden, creating the Garden of Harmonious Interests. This shows the extraordinary charm of Jichang Garden. 📍Location: No. 18 Baoshan Street, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, inside Hui Shan Ancient Town 🎫Ticket: 70 RMB/person ⌚Opening hours: 08:00—16:30, no entry after 16:00 🚗Transportation 🚙Self-driving: Parking available at the scenic area parking lot, 15 RMB/time on weekdays, 30 RMB/time on holidays.

The water originates from Mount Hui, flows through Bayin Stream, and gathers in the pool. With Hebu Beach, Qixing Bridge, and gallery bridges dividing the water surface layer by layer, it is impossible to find the end of the water, integrating springs, waterfalls, streams, pools, gullies, and beaches all in one garden. 2️⃣Bayin Stream: Bayin Stream is a rockery on the west side of the garden, winding and secluded, with the sound of water flowing along the path in the middle of the rockery reflecting off different rock walls, creating diverse sounds like a melody. Above, there is lush tree shade, and below, there is the constant sound of mountain springs. The not-so-high rockery creates the impression of a canyon, reminiscent of the lingering veins of Mount Hui. 3️⃣Architecture: To the east of Jinhuiyi, there are structures such as Zhiyu Kan, Yupan, Hanbi Pavilion, and Xianyue Pavilion. They are small and appropriately sized, separated by water and facing the mountains, cleverly arranging the scenic spots and viewing points.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Humble Administrator's Garden is the foremost among the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. The garden offers a view at every step, which is admirable. Cameras, however, find it difficult to capture its exquisite essence. Compared to the exquisite elegance of the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden has a more graceful and approachable style. The garden takes a cultural approach, with different programs performed at various times. Located in Huishan Ancient Town of Wuxi, the Jichang Garden is most famous for its Jin Hui Yi Group Landscape. The garden's pond creates a scene with the distant half-tower, offering clear layers and a profound meaning. It is recommended to spend about two hours visiting the above three gardens. If you have time, sitting and chatting in the gardens is also a wonderful experience!

As a representative of Huishan garden culture, it is exquisite with its 'borrowed scenery, stacked stones, winding water, ancient trees, and natural layout'. The pink walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, and the simplicity and tranquility are also natural in the Jiangnan landscape.
