It covers about 31 mu and has been completely rebuilt due to the original garden's dilapidation. 2️⃣Central Garden: The central part is the main scenic area of the Humble Administrator's Garden and its essence. The overall layout is centered around a pond, with pavilions and terraces built along the water's edge, some even extending directly into the water, showcasing the characteristics of a typical Jiangnan water town. 3️⃣Western Garden: Originally known as "Supplementary Garden," it was expanded and rebuilt, resulting in a style of exquisite craftsmanship and artificial artistry prevalent after the Qianlong Emperor. However, the water and rock features remain similar to the central area. The undulating, winding water corridors and streams that traverse the garden are masterpieces of Suzhou garden art.
