A Hokkien-style courtyard house first built for the Lin family in the late 1700s, later taken down and rebuilt beside Xinsheng Park, with ponds, bridges and pavilions around it. Entry is free and it is usually quiet, so you can wander the halls and gardens alone at your own pace.

How to visit, step by step

- Walk in freely from Tuesday to Sunday. Entry is free and last entry is 16:45
- Explore the halls of the courtyard house, then the pond and garden
- Do not eat or drink inside the historic buildings, and do not fly drones or kites, because the site is under the airport flight path
- Free volunteer tours are only for booked groups of 10 or more, so plan to look around on your own
Don't miss: The quiet inner courtyards and the pond garden with its bridges and pavilions.
Best time to go alone: A weekday morning. Wedding photo shoots sometimes use the grounds on weekends.
