Gaozhuang is a set of ancient-style buildings located within the Xixi Wetland, surrounded by green trees, small bridges and flowing water, reflecting a harmonious blend of nature and culture, reminiscent of Suzhou gardens. The restored Gaozhuang consists of buildings such as Gao's Mansion, Bamboo Window, Twisted Flower Study, Tongyin Hall, and Banana Garden Poetry Society, recreating the historical scene of Emperor Kangxi's visit to Gaozhuang. The pavilions, terraces, and towers in this Jiangnan mansion, with winding paths leading to secluded spots, present the charm and style of Chinese classical gardens, both 'elegant and luxurious' and 'quiet and leisurely', both the elegance of Guozhuang on West Lake and the luxury of Zhiyuan, and it covers a large area, harmonizing with the leisurely natural environment of Xixi. Gaozhuang, also known as Xixi Villa, was the mansion of Gao Shiqi, a prominent official, Kangxi's favorite minister, and a talented man in Hangzhou during the early Qing Dynasty. It is a typical official residence of the late Ming and mid-Qing periods with a front house and a back yard. Highly appreciated by Emperor Kangxi, his value doubled when the emperor visited during his southern tour. It has a Banana Garden Poetry Society and has filmed 'Dream of Red Mansions'. The pavilions, terraces, and towers are well-arranged, and Tang Bohu's painting 'Orchid Picture' hangs on the wall. At Gaozhuang, you can see major attractions such as 'Bamboo Window', 'Zhu Xi Grass Hall' and 'Banana Garden Poetry Society', and also learn about the unique official deeds, hermit culture, and women's literary activities during the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Xixi's history. 🔹🔹🔸🔸🔹🔹🔸🔸🔹🔹🔸🔸🔸 Tour guide for Gaozhuang in Xixi Wetland: 1️⃣Tickets: The ticket for Gaozhuang is included in the ticket for Xixi Wetland. 2️⃣Opening hours: 8:30-17:00 (The park stops selling tickets at 16:30 and stops admitting visitors at 17:00). 3️⃣Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Wulin Square Station, then transfer to Line 2 to Jiangcun Station, get off and take bus 193 or 596 to Zhoujiacun Station, then walk about 600 meters to get there. 4️⃣Tour route: - Entrance of the manor → Gaozhuang Chenji Stele Pavilion → Bamboo Window Building → Wanghu Tower → Kangxi Imperial Pen 'Bamboo Window' → Back Garden → Xixi Wetland Museum. - Entrance of the manor → Gaozhuang Chenji Stele Pavilion → Bamboo Window Building → Banana Garden → Shuixiang Pavilion → Rockery → Kangxi Imperial Pen 'Bamboo Window' → Back Garden → Xixi Wetland Museum. 🔹🔹🔸🔸🔹🔹🔸🔸🔹🔹🔸🔸🔸 Recommended restaurants near Gaozhuang in Xixi Wetland: 1️⃣Xixi Naderunze Garden Hotel Banquet Hall: Located at No. 3 Huawu Road, it has a beautiful and quiet environment.

The Beauty of Gardens·Xixi Wetland Gaozhuang Series (I)|||Overview and Main Buildings Gaozhuang, also known as Xixi Manor, was built between the 14th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1657) and the 3rd year of Kangxi (1664). The owner of the manor was Gao Shiqi (1645-1704), an official during the Kangxi period. Gao Shiqi, also known as Danren, Jiangcun, Pinglu, and Zhuchuang, was from Qiantang (now Hangzhou). He served as the Vice Minister of Rites. In the 28th year of Kangxi (1689), when Kangxi made a southern tour, he visited Gaozhuang and bestowed the name 'Zhuchuang'. The current Gaozhuang is centered around the 'Zhuchuang' building, revealing the aspiration to climb to the 'saintly' level. P3·Enter from the small gate on the main road of the park, pass through the bamboo path and see the first building - 'Chenlanting', where the stele 'Gaozhuang Chenji' is located. P4·Cross a small stone bridge to the left of Chenlanting, and you will reach the main entrance of the residence, which has a simple and elegant style of a literati's home. P5·In the center of the front hall stands the 'Kangxi's Visit to Gaozhuang' (painted by contemporary artists). Compared with this painting, the rebuilt 'Gaozhuang' is completely unrecognizable. Except for a few buildings that have retained their old names, the entire layout and architectural style no longer resemble the old view. It has been adapted to the local conditions and times. Gaozhuang was rebuilt in 2006 (during the second phase of the Xixi Wetland Comprehensive Protection Project) and currently covers more than 10 acres. The main buildings include Yinxiu Residence (front hall), Xizhuang (main hall), Yizhi Building (main house), Zhuchuang Building, Zhuxi Caotang, Nianhua Book House, Linliu Caotang, Tongyin Hall, Fangxian Pavilion, Yunxin Pavilion, Jiaoyuan Poetry Society, etc. P6·The main house is a three-entry three-hall courtyard layout, with each layer deepening and heightening. The third entry 'Yizhi' building is connected to the 'Zhuchuang' on the west side by a suspended corridor. 'Zhuchuang' is the core building of the garden landscape. The second floor has symmetrical terraces extending out, overlooking the entire garden. Directly below is the inner lake. To the east of the lake shore are Zhuxi Caotang, Nianhua Book House, Fafu, Xiaoyue, Tongyin Hall, and to the west are Jiaoyuan Poetry Society, Ouxiang Pavilion. Directly opposite is the pavilion bridge - Guiji Pavilion, which divides the pond into two. Beyond the pavilion bridge is the lotus pond and wetland... P7·One wing of 'Zhuchuang'. P8·'Zhuchuang' facing 'Guiji Pavilion'. P9·View of 'Zhuchuang' from the inner lake pavilion. P10·Yunxin Pavilion, from this angle, the connection between the pavilion and the corridor feels disjointed. P11·The first small courtyard. P12. The view of the back garden, with Guiji Pavilion and Yunxin Pavilion as the buildings. P13.The view of the outer lake in the west of Gaozhuang, the building in the forest is Jiaoyuan Poetry Society. P14.The bridge connecting to Futai, but the gate at the bridgehead is closed, and you still have to go to the main gate of Gaozhuang. P15.On the side of the garden road outside Gaozhuang, in early spring, the morning sun blooms the wooden hydrangea. P16.The 'small town' outside Gaozhuang, leading to the direction of Futai.
