The story
Situated at No. 54 Daru Lane within the protected Ding Residence, Jin Hai Hua · Pingjiangsong occupies a unique position in Suzhou's World Heritage cultural zone. The Jin Hai Hua Group dedicated more than twenty-five years to understanding local culture before initiating a construction phase that lasted over two thousand days. Traditional landscaping techniques shaped the grounds into a space defined by carefully arranged rockeries and flowing water features.
