Guozhuang Villa, also known as “Fenyang Villa,” was built in 1907 by silk merchant Song Duanfu on the shore of West Lake during the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). A pavilion overlooks a pond on the grounds of the villa, which also boasts a dock and an ornamental rock garden. The villa is divided into two sections: the residence, which is called “Living in Quietness,” and the gardens, which are called “Sky in the Mirror.” This design was typical of private residences built in the south-of-Yangtze style.
