There is a unique private garden in Lishui, Nanjing, called Zhou Garden. The entire garden is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, like a palace, so it is known as the Little Forbidden City in the South. The biggest highlight of Zhou Garden is the Atomic Force, which is filled with various precious collections. The most eye-catching are the large number of stone carvings, stone carvings, and brick carvings, which are very exquisite. [Cute] Zhou Garden is located in Baima Town, Lishui District, Nanjing. It is the largest private collection in China. It was built by British Chinese Mr. Zhou Hetong. It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and enjoys the reputation of "there is the Forbidden City in the north and Zhou Garden in the south". Zhou Garden is based on the theme of Buddhist culture and Hui-style architecture, and brings together a comprehensive collection of ancient cultural artworks including stone carvings, wood carvings, jade carvings, ancient beds, classical furniture, Buddha statues, murals, etc. The Zhou Garden courtyard is composed of the Imperial Kitchen, the Shangshufang, the Yangxin Hall, the Taihezhai, the Baohezhai, the Lion and Dragon Hall, the Thousand Buddha Corridor, etc. The whole courtyard is in the shape of a Ruyi. Entering the park, you will see a 30-square-meter mahogany bed, a 3,000-year-old single-wood table, a 6.5-ton dragon and phoenix inkstone, a rare yew tea plantation, more than 4,000 stone Buddha statues of all sizes, and over 2,000 square meters of large and exquisite hand-painted murals.
