DAOGUANG-GUANGXU PERIOD (1821-1908)

Chuyue Shanzhuang is a hallmark usually associated with the Daoguang period, and might refer to the namesake villa and garden complex once located in Xuancheng, Anhui Province. The garden complex belonged to Zhou Hao (1835-1911), a native of Xuancheng, who held a series of important positions, including the acting Governor of Jiangxi (in office 1904-1905). He built Chuyue Shanzhuang in his hometown and subsquently retreated there after he retired from political life.
