Who knows the history of Guo Zhuang?

Guo Zhuang, also known as Fenyang Mountain Villa, is located on the side of Wolong Bridge on Xishan Road. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1907), it was first built by silk merchant Song Duanfu, commonly known as "Songzhuang". Later, it was named "Guo Zhuang" because it belonged to Guo Shilin. Guo Zhuang is the most classical private garden in the West Lake Garden. Guo Zhuang is divided into two parts: settling down and opening in the mirror. Jingju is a house garden, where the owner lives at home and receives visitors. The interior furnishings are exquisite and elegant, antique. A mirror opens the sky into a garden, with small bridges and flowing water, stacked rocks and rockeries, and flowers and trees in curved corridors. There are some small garden buildings in Chi Pan, such as Sujing Pavilion, Moon Invited by the Wind, and Two Instrument Pavilions, which are known as "the pavilions around the water in the Wulin Pool are full of ancient meanings".
