Hengsha Court Gardens

The Hengsha Court Gardens (Chinese: 横沙法院花园) is location in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It is a large apartment building located in the Youzhao District of Lower Hengsha. Adam Jensen visits it after defeating Lawrence Barrett, who directs him to the Court Gardens. At the time of the player's first visit, it has been closed down by Belltower security agents, who are performing a raid on Arie van Bruggen's apartment.

The front yard and roof are blocked by a barricade and several Belltower light and medium agents. The light agents hold pistols and the medium ones hold machine pistols. They will not shoot on sight, but upon passing or being seen further than the medium will trigger them all to shoot at the player. Taking the front entrance is not reccommended if the player does not want to confront enemies, as the two guarding the front door are very difficult to sneak past. The apartments at ground level hold several useful items, but are not necessary for any main or side quest.

Climbing onto a roof and sliding behind a billboard will allow the player onto the roof of the perimeter wall of the ground area. The player can sneak around this roof to an unlocked door into the hotel, or crawl into the airvent in the public bathroom to access the elevator shaft. There is a Praxis kit at the bottom of the elevator shaft, but traversing the shaft requires a lot of climbing.

Once at the top floor, the player can enter van Bruggen's room for the Hunting the Hacker main quest, or Jaya's room only if they are pursuing the Bar Tab side quest. If they are not, she will not be here. They can either enter van Bruggen's apartment through the front door, necessitating that they eliminate two light Belltower agents, or crawl through an airvent if they have upgraded their Cybernetic Arm Prosthesis to lift a vending machine. The apartment itself has 3 more light Belltower agents.

Trivia
One of the empty apartments on the first floor appears to be the site of several unsuccessful suicide attempts. A bottle of sleeping pills has been spilled near the bed, a bottle of methanol with a pizza box by the couch, a toaster in the bathtub, and blood splatters from a gunshot can be seen by a chair. Diamond Back .357 bullets can be found near the bathtub.

One of van Bruggen's bathrooms does not have toilet paper. It does, however, have three sea shells, a reference to the film Demolition Man.

A secret computer room hidden in the walls of van Bruggen's apartment has several sticky notes with internet memes and strange reminders on them, such as "Get Broccoli and Lube" and "Call mom". One of these sticky notes has a series of 0's and 1's. Although one would assume that this is a sequence of binary, the numbers are neither divisible by 8, nor separated every 8 digits like normal binary. Even when properly spaced and the last 6 digits are removed, the message translates to gibberish. As the note is folded, making it hard for the player to see the full message, this is most likely just a developer oversight.
