The black plaque is inscribed with two large characters Hua Xiang. Slowly open the gate, and you will be enchanted by the exquisite ancient style.

The purpose of building such a swimming pool in the quaint and elegant courtyard is not only for fitness but also for its beauty. The pool is surrounded by white walls and black tiles to form a scene of its own. The facilities in the residence are meticulously comfortable.
