Overview:

The book focuses exclusively on Chinese classical private gardens rather than on modern replicas, imperial gardens, or gardens for public recreation. The creators of classical private gardens managed to reach a perfect integration of nature and culture, catering to people’s needs for both the great beauty of nature and the comfort of urban life. To build such a garden is to build a paradise.
