## About Keyuan Garden Museum

One of the Four Famous Gardens of Lingnan, first built during the Daoguang reign of the Qing dynasty. The garden has an irregular polygonal plan, and its pavilions, towers, water features, bridges, halls and courtyards are all complete. Many of its buildings are named with the character “可” (ke), such as Ke Tower, Ke Pavilion, Ke Hall and Ke Islet. Although built of wood, stone and grey brick, the structures are very refined, with carved windows, railings, “beauty-leaning” seats, and even individually styled floors. The garden is rich in southern character and is a jewel of Guangdong garden design.
