About Yanshan Garden
The restored Yanshan Garden features traditional Chinese garden designs and cultural relics from ancient times. The original garden was the former home of Wang Shizhen, a top government official and scholar in the Ming Dynasty.
The garden was destroyed in the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and it wasn't until 2003 when the Taicang government initiated a string of restoration and expansion projects to revive the ancient garden according to historical records.
Location: Between West Xianfu Street and South Changchun Road in downtown Taicang
Bus routes:
Line 106, 109, 126 and 201 reach the entrance on the south side of the garden
Line 103, 108 and 117 reach the entrance on the west side of the garden
