It is indeed the first garden of Jinling, a very large and beautiful Jiangnan garden. The rockery inside is both numerous and very powerful. There is also the Taiping Tianguo Museum, and the introduction of the life of Academician Liu Dunxu, the architect who presided over the construction of Nanjing Museum and the restoration of Zhanyuan, as well as a boutique jade exhibition in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum.
