If there is a garden somewhere in the area of Wuxi known as the 'Garden of Tranquility?'

According to my knowledge, there is no such a place called the 'Garden of Tranquility' in Wuxi. The insperation of painting this series of plates should be from the typical private gardens in southern China, especially in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Wuxi.

To Jack from Denmark, Thank you so much for your reply. I understand. I actually had the great pleasure of knowing Chen Chi briefly in the early 1980s. We were discussing the Royal Doulton plate, and I couldn't remember what he said back then to me, but I had thought he said something about the subject being in his home town. I appreciate your opinion, and want to add that I finally received the little booklet that came with purchase of a plate (I had to buy another one on EBay, now we have two!) And, I discovered a note from the artist that stated exactly that. I'm typing it out for you as it's so poignant: "This is a beautiful garden in my home town, Wusih, at the foot of Hui-shan. In early winter, at the beginning of the Chinese New Year time, light snow often falls. This is when the plumtrees bloom, thus adding to the pure beauty of the garden. When spring comes, the peach blossom is in full bloom, and joins the new green branches of the weeping-willow waving in the gentle breeze. People are enjoying the tea made with the famous spring water of Hui-shan, strolling along the rock passages, or watching the golden carp swimming happily in the lotus pond."

Hope you liked this. Thanks for helping me.
