Snap' Description
For the true connoisseur of landscape architecture, Guo's Villa (Guo Zhuang) delivers an exceptional off-the-beaten-path sanctuary. Completely unique because it avoids standard inland walls, this private classical scholar garden is engineered to share its water directly with West Lake via narrow water gates. It features two central courtyards anchored by a 200-year-old operational teahouse.
