Shuzhuang (Bean Plantation) Garden was built by a Taiwan business tycoon who moved his family here during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894- 1895. The terrain and the sea were perfectly incorporated into the layout of the entire garden. The Nine-Bend Forty-Four Bridge is delicately poised above the seal and consists of Guandiao (Angling Watching) Terrace, Duyue Pavilion and interesting rockwork.
The Subtropical Botanical Garden, whose full name is the "Overseas Chinese Garden for the Introduction of Subtropical Plants", sprawls at the foot of Sunlit Rock.

Boasting more than 1,000 species of plants, the garden is divided into one nursery for the introduction of new strains, one nursery for experimental purposes, a flower garden, a greenhouse for cultivation purposes and a refrigerated room.
