Zhang Family garden
The building scale of Zhangjia Family Garden is second only to Zhu Famil
y Garden in Jianshui , but the construction quality, integrity and cultural relic value can be called the No. one. Zhangjia Garden is located in Tuanshan Village, 13 kilometers west of Jianshui City. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters. It is a private residence of the Zhang family. It is a group of residential buildings with large scale, good construction quality and relatively complete preservation. Different from the Zhu Family Garden, the Zhang Family Garden still plays the role of the dwellings, but it is already lived by several different families scattered in the various courtyard, no longer the old large family. But there is still the elegant atmosphere of the courtyard, especially those who have a light layer of gold paint wood carving doors and Windows. The exquisite degree of wood carving is even better than the Zhu Jia Garden, and even comparable to famous Huizhou style in Anhui province.
