The most famous view in my hometown Pinghuis the Mo’s manor. It locates in the Renming Road number 37 and it was the house for a successful business man called Mo Fangmei during the Qing dynasty(the emperor called GUANG XU). It was built in 1897. His manor covers the area of 4666 m2 and more than 70 rooms. It is the classical example of the characteristic of the building in the north of China. The Garden is composed of the housing complex, garden courts and a garden which are aligned on a west-east axis. The housing complex consists of inner and outer houses. The outer house has a succession of three halls. The inner house to the east is made up of two two-storied buildings in the shape of "U", reached by two stairways on two sides.The spacious garden court is the transitional area between the housing complex and the garden. There's a boat-like pavilion near the entrance for the reception of guests ,a form of architecture typical in the Venetian region of Pinghu.The garden to the east is the cream of the property. Small and exquisite buildings, built close to the pond, are in admirable proportion to water scrapes and landscape.The main structure of the garden was constructed on the moon-viewing terrace, from which one is able to feast his eyes on surrounding scenes. Carefully arranged and well-spaced buildingsaround the pond include the Lotus Blooms Pavilion, the Stone Boat, the Hardship Terrace, and the Celestial Bridge.In short, this garden is full of changing vistas.There're gardens within the garden,principal and subordinate scenes. Space, including water space,has been ingeniously handled to suggest more space.Endless scenes have been created within limits. It serves as a fine example of how the few surpassing the many.
