I tend to think that Hauz huang is a bit like a common suburb name.

Did a bit of poking around on Google and I **think** I've located it. The Huazhuang Ecological Garden is 2km from the town of Wuzhen which is in turn about 1/2 way between Shanghai and Hangzhou and about 60km from both Hangzhou and the Pacific Ocean. It is also very close to the centreline.
For Google Earth, Wuzhen is at about
:
120 29 36.75 East
30 44 17.75 North
Near Jiaxing. We will be about 5-odd kms from the centreline and totallity should be about 5mins 51sec.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Les D
