5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent!,
By Martina (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese Gardens (Paperback)
Great insights into the "art form" Chinese Garden as well as a complimentary sightseeing guide.
Written by a Chinese professor of "history and ancient architecture and theory", this book not only describes the "now to be seen", but also the "why" and "how it came to be like it is today". Covers Gardens all over China.

A small pleasure,

This review is from: Chinese Gardens (Paperback)
Though a smaller volume, a good buy. It emphasizes history, the Imperial gardens in the north and private gardens of Jiangnan. But, it has only a few maps among its beautiful illustrations and often strange English. It is unique in having a chapter on individual garden designers - though only two or three are mentioned by name, including Ji Chang.
