# Guo's Villa (Quyuan Garden)

Hangzhou, China

Built in 1907 by silk merchant Song Duanfu, Guo's Villa sits on West Lake's western shore. Hangzhou's best-preserved private Qing garden pairs lakeside pavilions with a mirror-still pond, rockeries, and corridors, earning it the nickname "Number One Garden of the West Lake."
