The Great Chinese Garden
Tükendi
Gardens designed for refined pleasure and spiritual relaxation were first perfected in ancient China. Western travelers from Marco Polo onwards saw them, and marveled at their intricacy, their elaborate garden buildings, their subtle design, and their assured use of plants, water, and natural materials. Yet for many centuries Westerners found them hard to understand and could not use the skills and concepts that they contained.
