Master of the Nets Garden

The Master of the Nets Garden in the Gusu District is defined by its compact, rectangular pond that mirrors the surrounding white walls and dark-tiled eaves of its pavilions. While many of the city’s historic estates sprawl, this garden is celebrated for fitting an entire landscape into less than two acres. It combines a private residential quarter with an inner garden, using clever corridors and framed vistas to create the illusion of vast space within a very limited footprint.
