Jiezhou Garden is located in Qijiabao, Dongcai Village, Jinting Town, Wuzhong District, and is a representative of the small private gardens during the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods in Suzhou. True to its name, Jiezhou Garden is compact and exquisite. The main structure consists of only three rooms known as ‘Weiyun Xiaozhuo’. In the southern part of the garden, there are yellow stone rockeries and peculiar peaks and caves, skillfully arranged within a few feet.


Within the garden stands a robust and vigorous Arhat pine tree, approximately three hundred years old. To the east of the garden lies a small pond that complements the rockeries and adds a touch of charm to the ancient garden.
