The Architecture
The skilfully integrated architecture of the site eloquently testifies to the presence of manking in nature. Marked with all the finesse and refinement of traditional Chinese architecture, the pavilions appear to the visitor as successive images bordering the paths, visible through window openings and over walls.
Classical, open or closed, the seven structures take their cue from the Ming era. Structural beams and columns are assemblied the old-fashioned way, fitted together with tenon and mortise joints.
Circled by ornate balustrades, covered by exotic roofs with upturned corners, topped with rounded tiles embellished with Chinese symbols, the garden's pavilions rival each other in grace and elegance.
