The Lin Family Garden was built with fine carvings and sculptures, it is a significant site representing Taiwan horticulture and gardening. This beautiful garden was under constructions for several years for detailed works and designs, it was not fully established until 1893.

Lin Family Garden is now open to publics for tourism and historical explorations. For entering Lin Family Garden, visitors have to purchase tickets at ticketing booth and enter through the entrance beside. The ticket booth does not belong to one of the historical architectures of Lin Garden Family. In old days, the real entrance to the garden is through “Bai Hua Tin”, or through the small gate next to restroom. You might wonder why the entrance was built in a small scale. The reason for this was because Lin Family Garden was meant to be a private garden for Lin Family members, the small door was to obtain privacy.

The Lin Family was the richest family in Taiwan with various developments in economies and politics. Visit this grand garden to undergo an experience of this influential family. Datasupply / K.Lin
