List of Chinese gardens

This list of Chinese gardens is a list of Chinese-style gardens both within China and elsewhere in the world.

Inside China

This list is organized by region within China, roughly following the structure laid out by Maggie Keswick in The Chinese Garden. The names of Chinese gardens are very problematic in English; this list aims to capture all the major variants, both in Chinese and in English.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
