Its interior decoration is particularly exquisite, just like the buildings on the ground. Sometimes, its appearance is also beautifully decorated. Both painted boats and pleasure boats are walkable boats. But the boat mainly introduced in the garden today is a kind of walkable boat called a dry boat. It's just a kind of architectural landscape in the garden. This is a building built according to the shape of the ship.

The function of the original boat is also changing, from being a necessary tool for survival and war, gradually evolving into a boat for water stage, sacrifice and entertainment, to reproducing water life, organizing activities such as boating and water play, and later becoming a garden building-a dry boat. The architecture of the ship was first recorded in Ouyang Xiu's "Ship Studio" in the Northern Song Dynasty. It said: "Anyone entering multiple rooms is like entering a ship... The mountain rocks and sea boats are beautiful plants with beautiful flowers and eyes. Outside the strong jade gate eaves, they seem to be in the middle. The left and right forests are lovely, so the ship is famous.", The careful "Gui Xin Zazhi" records that in the Jifang Garden in Lin'an (now Hangzhou), "Gan Zhou said: 'Return to one '". According to the similarity between ship-shaped architecture and painted ship, ship-shaped architecture can be divided into two types: realistic and freehand.
