#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Hangzhou's Guozhuang Garden is a typical Jiangnan garden located on the shores of West Lake, and is known as one of the "Ten Scenes of West Lake." It retains the traditional architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is a beautiful space with a lotus pond, corridors, and pavilions skillfully arranged.
