guozhuang villa, also known as “fenyang villa,” was built in 1907 by silk merchant song duanfu on the shore of west lake during the late qing dynasty (1644-1911). a pavilion overlooks a pond on the grounds of the villa, which also boasts a dock and an ornamental rock garden. the villa is divided into two sections: the residence, which is called “living in quietness,” and the gardens, which are called “sky in the mirror.” this design was typical of private residences built in the south-of-yangtze style.
