The Zhujia Garden is a little gem tucked away in bustling city surroundings. This extravagant house and grounds, completed in 1910 after more than three decades of construction, is full of splendid courtyards, colorful orchards, and magnificent gardens containing all manner of exotic flora. Now open to tourists, the grounds of Zhujia Huayuan are full of Zhu family symbolism. Four of the courtyards—the Plum Pavilion, Orchid Garden, Bamboo Garden, and Chrysanthemum Garden—represented four plants commonly used in Chinese poetry, as well as the family’s love of flowers. Among the old wisteria trees, orchids, and grape vines that fill the courtyards today, elegant calligraphy adorns the many arches and doorways, recording family virtues and sayings.
