Shuihui Garden (Chinese: 水绘园; pinyin: Shuihui Yuan) is a park in the northeast of Rugao, Jiangsu, China, and was first built during the Ming dynasty by Mao Yiguan (冒一贯). It was finished in the Qing dynasty by Mao Pijiang (冒辟疆), who was Mao Yiguan's great-grandson. Shuihui Garden has been rebuilt and today is known as the former residence of Mao Pijiang and Dong Xiaowan (董小宛).
Shuihui Garden is a glistening pearl in the northern part of Jiangsu province. It is famous for water flowing around the whole garden. It is said that Mao Pijiang and Dong Xiaowan used to read poems and discuss some interesting topics here.
Shuihiu Garden [1] lies in the north east of Rugao. The name, Shuihui Garden, means clear water.
