Wufeng Garden is one of the more famous gardens among many Suzhou gardens. It is located at No. 47 West Street of Changmen (now accessible from Wufengyuan Alley, Xiatang Street inside Changmen). In 1963, it was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Suzhou. Today, Wufengyuan Alley covers an area of about 2.5 mu. It is a boutique in Suzhou gardens. It was built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and was constructed by Yang Cheng of Changzhou. It is commonly known as ‘Yang’s Garden’. There are many explanations for the origin of the garden name. One is that the garden was built by Wen Bonian, a painter and nephew of Wen Zhengming. Wen Bonian is known as the ‘old man of five peaks’. The other is that there are five Taihu stone peaks in the garden, standing among high mounds and resembling old men. It is also called ‘five old peaks’. Opening hours: From January 1st to December 31st, it is open from 08:00 to 16:00.
