Yan Garden
Yan Garden is a heritage park in Dongguan, China. The park covers 30,873 square meters of open space and greenery. A hotel from 1979 was revitalized to hold art studios, and a preserved mansion from 1996 serves as a community hub with a family exhibition. A new museum was added for educational and leisure programs. Work was carried out in three phases, including wall reinforcement and exterior restoration. Around 150 local plant species increase biodiversity, and rainwater is collected for irrigation. Visits are arranged by reservation to limit the impact on the historic buildings.
