In the northeastern part of the Garden, the open-air Touching Cloud Pavilion rests on top of the extensive summer rockery. Its commanding view of the entire area and all of the buildings gives visitors the feeling of floating above the China Garden.

The interior courtyard features the most extensive rockery in the China Garden, highlighting the four seasons of the year. Upon entering the Ge Garden, visitors see an array of stones and early flowering plants signifying spring. The path leads them to another rockery whose colors and plants symbolize summer. In the northeastern portion of the courtyard, red, orange and yellow boulders adorned with autumn foliage represent fall. Visitors end their journey in front of the winter rockeries and a wall with strategically placed round, open windows allow for the sound of winter winds to be heard.

A Qing-style building that lies in the heart of the Ge Garden, the Joyful Rain Pavilion has traditional Ming and Qing dynasty furnishings typical of a Chinese living room. The main theme of the interior will focus on bamboo culture. The furniture is complimented with various works of art, including scrolls, paintings and viewing stones.
