Wan Garden boasts convenient transportation and free parking. Located in Linqing City, Shandong Province, Wan Garden is a classical garden that blends the elegance of Jiangnan gardens with the grandeur of northern architecture, earning it the nickname "Little Suzhou of Jiangbei." Wan Garden's meticulous design is centered around the core concepts of "landscape poetry, landscape painting, and landscape garden." The designer employed a gardening technique of "capturing the grandeur within the small, achieving the most with the little," condensing the vast landscape into a compact space, creating a visual feast of "every step, every scene changes." Wan Garden also carries a profound legacy of canal culture. As a private garden for the Linqing merchant community during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it witnessed the prosperity of canal trade. The garden retains the "Huifang Hall," where merchants once met. The plaque on the wall, "Integrity Wins the World," reveals the secret of the Shanxi merchants' success.
