Fu Zhuang is a cultural heritage site protected by the city of Yangzhou. It is located on a small island at the foot of the White Pagoda within Slender West Lake Park, to the east of the Five Pavilion Bridge, and was constructed in 1921. Originally, it served as the villa of a local gentry, Chen Chenshuo. The name Fu Zhuang, which translates to ‘Wild Duck Isle,’ is derived from its location on a small islet, resembling a duck floating on water.
One of the distinctive features of Fu Zhuang’s landscape is its emphasis on smallness and delicate elegance. To the east, there is a waterside pavilion, while to the west, there are several water pavilions. To the south, a three-bay water building is established. An irregular lotus pond is situated in the middle of the estate, surrounded by plum, peach, and bamboo plants, with tall lake stones interspersed, reflecting a profound artistic conception.
Fu Zhuang is open all year round, accessible 24 hours a day. The specific business status is subject to the daily opening conditions.
