Shuzhuang Zanghai / 菽庄藏海 was named after the original owner Lin Erjia (aka ShuZhuang), a wealthy Taiwanese businessman who fled here when Japan took Taiwan in the 1890s. Highlights include the 44 bridge, the Gulangyu Piano Museum / 鼓浪屿钢琴博物馆 and the rockery with hidden sculptures of all 12 zodiac animals.

The Gulangyu Piano Museum includes rare specimens from the 1700s and more than 100 ancient pianos that are world famous. The pianos have been collected from the Americas, Australia, Britain, Austria and France. All pianos were collected by Hu Youyi, an overseas Chinese who was born on Gulangyu Island. The island is often known as the piano island simply because of the long known popularity of pianos among the local people.

The entry fee to Shuzhuang Garden (normally ¥30) includes entrance to the museum. Guided tours several times a day include performances on a few of the instruments.
