Taiwan-The Lin Family Mansion & Garden

The Lin Ben Yuan Family Mansion and Garden (林本源園邸) is located in Banqiao District, New Taipei City, was a residence built by the Lin Ben Yuan Family, of Banqiao, Taiwan, and is currently Taiwan's most-complete surviving example of traditional Chinese garden architecture. Also known as the Lin Family Gardens. The Lin Family Mansion and Garden, along with Tainan Wu Garden (台南吳園), Hsinchu Beiguo Garden (新竹北郭園), and Wufeng Lin Family Mansion and Garden (霧峰林家宅園), are collectively known as The Four Great Gardens of Taiwan (台灣四大名園). This residence can be traced back to 1847, when at that time a "rent house" (租館) for the Lin Ben Yuan Family in the north, and was later expanded by the two brothers Lin Guohua (林國華) and Lin Guofang (林國芳), becoming the residence of the Lin Ben Yuan Family. In 1977， the Lin Ben Yuan Family donated a portion of the garden to then-Taipei County Government, and in 1982 it opened to visitors. Currently, the Lin Family Mansion and Garden is under the joint-responsibility of the Executive Yuan Cultural Construction Committee, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Transportation and Communications Tourism Bureau, Taiwan Provincial Government, and now New Taipei City Government for protection and restoration work, who have additionally designated it as a Class-2 Historical Site.
