Xiaopangu Garden
小盘谷
A small private garden built by Zhou Fu, Qing governor-general of Liangjiang, prized for its rockwork. The “Nine Lions Rock Hill” is regarded as a masterpiece of Yangzhou rockeries.
Xiaopangu Garden is in Dingjiawan. In the Guangxu era it was purchased and rebuilt by Zhou Fu, Governor-General of Liangjiang. It is a national key heritage site and a representative example of Yangzhou's small private gardens. The garden is very small, but its rock hills rise and fall with winding depth. The “Nine Lions Rock Hill” is especially famous, and the pools, zigzag bridge, and flower hall are compactly arranged, reflecting the garden-making principle of seeing the large within the small. Garden enthusiasts hold it in high regard. It attracts far fewer visitors than Geyuan or He Garden, and admission is low (check on site). A visit takes about 40 minutes, and it is about an 8-minute walk from He Garden.
