The Passable Pavilion atop of the mountain fronts south towards the Mountain Villa of Hanbi and the Pellucid Tower, which look like a boat riding at anchor. The principal part on the righrt-hand side of the garden, which consists of various buildings arranded irregularly, naturally and aesthetically, is reminiscent of traditional Chinese lamdscape painting, affording great pleasure to the viewer.

    The Pellucid Tower is an exquisite two and a half storied building with a uniquely designed mountain path winding upward. The idea comes from A Commentary on the Book of Rivers, saying,“Watching fishes and birds by the pellucid water and trees”.

    The Hanbi Mountain Villa, popularly known as the Lotus Hall, is a chief building in the middle part of the garden. It is tall, roomy, properly furnished and carefully positioned with respect for the nearby pavilions, picturesque landscape and waterscape.

    “The Luxuriant Old Trees” was one of 18 major scenic sports of the Lingering Garden.

    The Celestial Hall of Five Peaks is a chief structure in the Lingering Garden. Its beams and pillars are made of rare algerbia wood. For this reason it is also known as the Algerbia Hall. Probably no other building in the south of the Lower Yangtze can match it for its extraordinary vast size. In front of the hall is a mountain made of limestone winding and undulating along as the five famous peaks are at Mountain Lu.
