Heyuan Garden
|
| Heyuan garden is open and looks spacious due to its clever layout though in fact it's not that big. Great originality is much in evidence in the designs of houses, pavilions and rockeries and the positioning of plants, flowers and stones. Unlike normal rockeries, all those in the Heyuan Garden sit comfortably against walls. |
