In many scenic spots in Gulangyu, Xiamen, Xinzhuang Garden is a special place. It was a private villa of Taiwan businessman Lin Erjia before 1955.
Uncle is the "word" of Linerjia, and Xinzhuang Garden is named after the homonym of his words.
The green trees in the garden are sprouting, and the boulder stands on the seashore. The strange place is that the side of the arch bridge is the rough sea, and the other end of the arch bridge is the inner lake that is as quiet as the mirror. The clear water reflects the blue sky, white clouds, pavilions, winding paths, and vegetation, creating a classical artistic conception of poetry and painting.
Speaking of Xinzhuang Garden, I have to mention the legendary life of the owner Lin Erjia.
Lin Jias father, Lin Weiyuan, is a businessman and an official of the Qing Dynasty. He served as the Minister of Defense of Taiwans Sui Fu and the regiment.
Lin Weiyuan was originally from Jiaomei Township, Longxi County, Fujian Province. His ancestors moved to Taiwan's fresh water in the early years and relied on the colonization. It is one of the local families.
Linjia has a luxurious and exquisite Banqiao villa in Taiwan, where Linerjia lived from childhood. After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing government signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which squandered the country and humiliated the country, ceded Taiwan to Japan, and forced the officers and men stationed in Taiwan to return to the mainland. Lin Weiyuan did not dare to resist the purpose. He had to travel to Xiamen and settled in Gulangyu.
Because of living in Taiwan since childhood, the nostalgia is strong. With the growth of years, Lin Erjia, who settled in Xiamen and inherits his father's business, is more and more missed on the grass and trees of the old place. In 1913, he hired a famous teacher to build the Xinzhuang Garden in accordance with the architectural style of Banqiao Villa in Taiwan.

Nice small garden with a stone labyrinth. There are 12 caves on the labyrinth. Each cave is represented by one animal of the zodiac. Downsideof the garden is the entry price.
The garden is nearest to the sea, with a view of the garden, the sea and the sunstone not far away. It is also adjacent to the piano museum and can be seen along the sea path.

There are many gardens in Jiangnan, and there are some scenery in the sea garden. Most attractions in Gulangyu are charged, and some are quite expensive, but the tickets for Zaozhuang Garden for 30 yuan / person are still worth it. Next to the beach behind Aberdeen, you can walk on a wave. Great value for money, nice view,
The sea is hidden, the garden is unique in design, the sea is hidden in the private garden, the design is very domineering! Twelve holes, interesting, fun, inquiring! Piano Museum, the smell of books, Qinqi paintings, the embodiment of the puppet
