Meeting facilities
The peace and tranquility offered by classical gardens have remained unchanged over the centuries. Scholars in ancient China lived and worked in such gardens, inspired by the human achievement in architecture that is as remarkable as nature itself. Guests can be entertained in a beautiful setting of two exquisitely designed indoor halls, perfect for meetings, receptions, dinners, presentations, launches, weddings, and receptions. For great outdoor entertainment, the adjacent courtyards provide the perfect stage, set against the wonderfully inspiring nature of a traditional Chinese garden.
