Originally built in the fourth year of Zhengde Period of the Ming Dynasty, the Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the four most famous gardens in China. It is divided into the eastern, middle and western parts. Centering upon a lake, the poetic and picturesque garden landscapes and waterscapes, with exquisite building and vegetation, seems to be reminiscent of the rural scenes in the area south of Lower Yangtze. On the whole, it has kept the style of the Ming Dynasty. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. It was listed as the National Tourist Attraction of Grade AAAAA in 2007.
The above stamp is printed, rather than affixed, on the cover. I got this commemorative cover during my last visit to the garden. I could not find more information on the stamp. Perhaps it's a cinderella. I would temporarily label it as a cinderella, until I am able to find out more information.
