The Museum of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Architecture is the first national-level museum in China with a garden theme, covering an area of 65,000 square meters. Its founding concept is "Chinese Gardens, Ideal Homes" and it is known as a "living" museum.

The Museum of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Architecture consists mainly of exhibition halls, indoor garden displays, and outdoor exhibition areas. The exhibition halls include two basic displays of ancient Chinese gardens and modern gardens, as well as four thematic displays: World Famous Gardens Exhibition Hall, Chinese Garden Culture Hall, Chinese Garden Artistry Hall, and Garden Interactive Experience Hall.

The indoor garden displays capture the essence of southern gardens, featuring three garden landscapes: Chang Yuan Garden, Yu Yin Mountain Garden, and Pian Shi Rockery Garden.

The outdoor exhibition areas are composed of three northern garden landscapes based on terrain features: Tower Shadow Garden, Half-Mu Mini-Garden, and Mountain Villa Awash with Morning Glow, creating a unique style of "garden within the museum, museum within the garden."
