It not only carries the traditional essence of Lingnan gardens, but also does not stick to conventions, presenting a unique aesthetic charm. Liang Chiquan, the original owner of Zuiguan Garden, loved peonies. His garden was once filled with all kinds of peonies, which once attracted many celebrities to come and watch it. However, historical changes and the baptism of war caused serious damage to this garden. Fortunately, in the 1950s, Zuiguan Garden was merged with the adjacent Liufang Garden and rebuilt into Zuiguan Garden. In the 1980s, it was further expanded into a city park. Although it has undergone modern transformation, the classical charm of Zuiguan Garden and Liufang Garden has still been preserved.
