Shuzhuang Garden:

Shuzhuang Garden was originally the private garden of Lin Erjia, a wealthy Taiwanese gentleman. It was turned into a park in the 1950s. In recent years, many facilities have been built and the area has been expanded. Covering an area of ??more than 3,000 square meters, it is a unique seaside park. After the Qing government was defeated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894, it was forced to sign the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki, ceding Taiwan to Japan. However, Taiwan's military and civilians refused to cede Taiwan. General Liu Yongfu and others led the "Black Flag Army" to resist. The corrupt Qing government ordered the officers and soldiers stationed in Taiwan to return to the mainland. Lin Weiyuan, who was Taiwan's reclamation governor and minister of regiment defense at the time, did not dare to disobey the order, so in 1895 his family migrated inland and settled on Gulangyu Island. Lin Weiyuan was originally from Longxi. His ancestors went to Taiwan to cultivate and make a fortune in Tamsui during the Qianlong period. They built the "Banqiao Villa" or Lin Family Garden in Taipei. His son Lin Erjia has lived there since he was a child, and everything about the villa left him with wonderful memories. Lin Weiyuan died in 1905, and Lin Erjia inherited his father's business. In 1913, in order to commemorate his former residence in Banqiao, Taipei, he selected a slope under Caozi Mountain on the golden river bank of Gulangyu Island to imitate the Banqiao villa in Taipei. He built a garden based on famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River and named it "Shuzhuang". The homophonic pronunciation of the owner "Uncle Zang" is also the meaning of "Daoshu Master Manor" because Lin Erjia's ancestors made their fortune through farming and became rich in Taiwan. He spent 10,000 silver dollars for "pen polishing" and asked the then "President" Xu Shichang to inscribe a plaque for the "Shuzhuang" garden.

Lin Erjia carefully designed the structural layout of the garden, striving to reproduce the style of the Banqiao villa in Taipei and the charm of Jiangnan gardens. He used a piece of sloping land of less than ten acres to create a wide space and incorporate all the visible scenery into the embrace of the garden. There are ten scenic spots in the garden, including Meishou Hall, Renqiu Pavilion, Zhenshu Pavilion, Forty-Four Bridge, Tinglang Pavilion, Hard Rock Mountain House, Twelve Cave Heaven, Yiaiwu Lu, Guanchao Tower, and Xiaolan Pavilion. They are small and unique. In a league of its own. It is rare that Shuzhuang Garden combines three of the ten most artistic characteristics of garden art in the world into one garden.
