## About Lingering Garden

Known as “the No. 1 garden in Wuzhong,” and with good reason. Unlike other gardens, it combines landscaped courtyards with rural scenery and wild, forest-like charm. Few gardens can bring together such different atmospheres in one harmonious whole, and Lingering Garden is one of them. The garden is also home to the “Three Wonders of Lingering Garden”: the Guanyun Peak, the Nanmu Hall and the fish fossil.
