About Qiao Garden

The oldest surviving private garden in northern Jiangsu, more than 430 years old. Laid out in the Wanli era of the Ming as Rishe Garden, it took its present name after Qiao Songnian, Qing Salt Controller of the two Huai regions, made it his residence. Its rockeries and pavilions earned it the title "first garden of Huaizuo"; free with QR-code reservation since 2022.
