Wuhan Zhongshan Park, formerly known as Xiyuan, is a private garden, so who was the owner of Xiyuan?

The owner of Wuhan Zhongshan Park (West Park) is Liu Xinsheng.

1909, Liu Xinsheng invited Chinese businessmen to build China Racecourse on Hangkong Road (now branch of Geological University) in Hankou to compete with the western racetrack (predecessor of Jiefang Park). In order to play, in 19 10, Liu Xinsheng built a villa-style private garden on the west side of Union Hospital not far from the racecourse. This garden is named "West Garden" because it is located in the west of the luxurious "Liuxiang Garden" built by Xunlimen (now Ship Administration Square) 1905 Liu Xinsheng.
