| The beauty of the autumn scenery of the manor-style private garden. Located in the northwest of Zhujiakou ancient town, Kezhi Garden is a larger garden building in the area. The garden is full of small bridges and flowing water, with a different view at every step. It is a worthwhile paid scenic spot with a quiet environment. The Kezhi Garden, which was built in 1912 and took 15 years to complete, was once the private residence of local tycoon Ma Wenqing. The design structure and decorative building materials of this garden, many of which are in the form of a combination of Chinese and Western styles, are a feature of Kezhi Garden. The garden is divided into two parts, Ke Garden and Zhi Garden. The two words "Kezhi" imply the meaning of "not forgetting farming while studying", which reflects the peaceful psychology of the garden owner's farming and reading. The first thing you enter is a series of hall buildings, including sedan hall, guest hall, welcome hall, etc. The halls are carved beams and painted buildings, with very exquisite decorations. The roof surface adopts a double-layer tile-row board structure, which has the miraculous effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer. The Yimen behind the head hall is also decorated with fine brick carvings, which shows the luxurious style of the rich family everywhere. Through the hall is a winding path leading to the garden. Wangyue Tower and Shucheng are typical Chinese and Western buildings in the garden. The stele gallery in the garden is inlaid with stone carvings of poems and letters from the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty, Tang, Zhu, Wen, and Zhou. There are pond rockeries, pavilions, towers and pavilions in the garden, as well as theater stages, nine-curved bridges, and inverted lion pavilions on the rockery. The plants in the garden are very lush, and you can feel peaceful and quiet while walking in the green path. Unlike many Jiangnan gardens, this garden also has paddy fields, vegetable fields and orchards in the depths, named "Daoxiang Village". This was the garden owner Ma Wenqing's way of letting his children and grandchildren experience the hard work of farmers and the concept of farming nine and three, and he often worked in the fields as an example. In summary, Kezhi Garden is a garden building with unique charm. It not only has a combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles and exquisite decorations, but also has rich cultural connotations and historical background. Visitors can feel the charm of Chinese traditional culture and the charm of Jiangnan gardens here.
