The Washing My Ribbon Pavilion over the water is the best viewing place in the garden. The idea come from a fisherman's song the works of Mencius saying, “If the water of the Cang Lang River is clean wash the ribbon of my hat. If the water of the Cang Lang River is dirty, I wash feet.” The same is true the name of the garden “Master-of-Nets”.

    The Watching Pine and Appreciating Paintings Studio, 5-pillar-wide, has 215,000,000-year-old silicify fossil trees inside and a sabina chinensis in front believed to be hand-plant by the owner Shi Zhengzhi in the southern Song Dynasty more than 800 years ago.

    The Small Hill and Osmanthus Fragrans Pavilion is a four-sided viewing place where the owner used to hold small gatherings among his scholarly friends.

    The Prunus Mume Pavilion is named after Su Shi's poem, saying, “There are thousands of shady trees in spring by the upper reaches of the river. A branch of prunus mume beyond the bamboo looks even better sideways.”

    On a north-south axis there are four successive building separated by garden court namely the front door hall, the Sedan-chair hall, the grand reception hall and two-storeyed tower. The ancestral Temple made of bricks built above the door is at the rear of the sedan-chair hall.
