I visited the Keyuan Garden on a Monday morning and it was completely empty. They provided us with a guide to take us around for a tour of the entire garden, but the guide didn’t speak much English so it would have been extremely difficult to understand anything if we didn’t have a translator in our group. There were a few signs with English writing, but even if there hadn’t been, this still would be a great place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful sculptures and the lake and the peaceful feelings. The lake seems very clean and there are tons of fish, which you can ask to feed. There were some buildings that we were allowed to go inside, and the best view was from the third floor of one of the buildings. There are some renovations happening on the second floor of one of the buildings, but the pollution from it wasn’t too bad and the construction didn’t really ruin any of my pictures.

This garden is nice with a historic home and an attractive pond and a small museum featuring Chinese art. On Saturday, it is a bit too crowded (due to the small space).

Located in Guancheng District, West Dongguan City (not Dongguang County as listed by TA!). Keyuan depicts the Lingnan-style of garden architecture and painting. Lots of examples of both in the museum exhibition rooms. Can wander freely through the estate's gardens and its many rooms - most of which have free and open access. Place is well staffed and overall clean and tidy (even the restrooms). Well worth RMB 8 entrance fee.…
