The Great Chinese Garden
Tükendi

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.
