Yiyuan Garden is located in Lianhe Village, Tieyao Township, Xiangyin County. It was originally the former residence of Mr. Zheng Zhaoxi, known as the "Zheng Family Garden." Zheng was a member of the Xingzhonghui and the Tongmenghui, a believer in the Three Principles of the People, and an advocate of saving the nation through industry. He once worked alongside Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, and Cai E. In 1935, feeling that the government had lost its moral compass, he returned to his hometown and built a garden called "Yiyuan." The garden covers more than 0.26 hectares and includes rockeries, pavilions, a moon pond, stone steles, and tombs, planted with rare flowers and exotic grasses. The inscription on the stone stele reads: "Premier Sun, and the martyrs Huang, Cai, Song, and Hu, with sincere courage, advocated revolution; I secretly admired them and also joined the Xingzhonghui and Tongmenghui, to follow their light, and to carry through to the end..." The stele is now protected by the township government, and the stone chairs and stools in the garden still remain.
