Just close to the Tangyue Archway Complex, the garden was originally a private garden of the Bao's family during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Bao's Family Garden is comparable to the Plum Garden in Wuxi and the Humble Administrator Garden in Suzhou. The Bao's Family Garden was once the largest private garden in China. But part of it was ruined during wars. The one we see now is the reconstructed and expanded Bao's Family Garden.
Entering the garden, you will be surely surprised to see so many beautiful and fascinating bonsai plants in various kinds of shapes. The Bao's Family Garden is also a must-see. Here, you not only can enjoy the masterpiece of Hui style garden, but also can see various kinds of delicate Bonsais.
There are so many bonsais all over the place. Flowers and grass being planted in pot, with small trees and little mountains, the bonsai looks like real. Bonsais concentrate large sceneries in small flower pots. The bonsai which is over 200 years old and named Sceneries of South China is the number one banyan bonsai in China. Here you can also enjoy the the largest bonsai in China with mountains, rivers, trees and stones which spreads long rivers and huge mountains before your eyes. The charm of bonsai really lies in representing a large world in a small space.
