The site can still be viewed from outside. Unfortunately, what is one of the key places to see around the lake is covered in scaffolding for what appears to be a major refurbishment which severely restricts sight of the detailed exterior decoration. There are still plenty of other places to visit around the lake that makes the trek worthwhile.

Despite being disappointed that it was closed, I can't really ding this place for being under construction. It happens, and is usually for the safety and maintenance of the structure. However, considering this is quite difficult to get to, and a highlight of the area, I would have expected a little more to go into it. More signs about the area, easy places to visit, or even an easier way to get there. We kind of just walked around the lake blindly thanks to Google maps. I guess it's worth it to see once the renovations are over, but otherwise maybe wait a bit. I guess you can go jogging around the lake, but beware the mosquitoes

The Dragon and Tiger Towers are currently being renovated, but it is still worth seeing. You can still walk inside the structures and access the bridge. The whole Lotus Pond area is neat with other sculptures and towers that you can see. I think it will open again next year, 2025.
