He Garden, also known as Jixiao Villa, showcases the refined architecture of a 19th-century salt merchant's estate. Its standout feature is a 1,500-meter two-story corridor that winds through the garden, linking living quarters, study halls, and scenic pavilions. Visitors can stroll along this covered walkway, enjoying framed views of rockeries, ponds, and courtyards, and appreciate the harmony between built structures and nature.

- Pause at the central pond to see reflections of pavilions and rockwork
