The Lin Benyuan Garden (Banqiao Lin Family Garden) is a national historic site in Banqiao District, New Taipei City, and is considered Taiwan's largest private garden and architecture from the Qing Dynasty. Built by the Lin family of Banqiao in the 19th century, it blends Jiangnan garden styles with Taiwanese vernacular. Its exquisite pavilions, rockery ponds, winding corridors, and moon-shaped waterside pavilions are renowned for their historical development of the Taipei Basin. After restoration, it is now open to the public and offers a unique opportunity to experience the aesthetics of Qing Dynasty merchant life and traditional architectural art.
