Li Garden is located in Kaiping City, China and was constructed by Mr. Xie Weili between 1926 and 1936.  Xie Weili was born in the United States to parents who had emigrated from China.   After making a fortune in the pharmaceuticals trade, his father ordered him to return to China and construct a garden.  For the next 10 years he was the obedient son.

Xie wanted to create something unique and original.  The almost 5 acre garden is divided into 3 sections, which includes a villa section, a grand garden, and a small garden.  The three areas are divided by canals and walls, connected with each other by bridge, pavilion, archway, and corridor.  In addition, there are 6 magnificent villas to accommodate the Weili clan. The wide and deep canals provide the perfect transition to the  architectural features of the garden. 

The Li Garden is famous for its perfectly mixed complex of the western and the oriental ... the charm of a traditional Chinese garden in complete harmony with the Western architecture of the villas.   These characteristics make this elegant garden a pearl among the many Chinese gardens.
