Chinese Gardens

 

The chinese gardens lie underneath the area of ornamental horticulture, because chinese gardens were built to impress emperors, and important people like princes, and just to make palaces and houses look nice. The first chinese gardens built were in the Shang Dynasty, (1600)-(1046)B.C. Chinese gardens were used to impress people who came to visit, and they also showed how the emperor or whoever had built one that they understood the meaning of beauty and that they created something that would show the beauty of earth.

Chinese gardens have lots of key elements to make them perfect. The  Chinese have an incredible amount of architecture that go into their gardens. There are  bridges, pavilions. towers, halls, and lots more. Bridges that connect over a pond, or a rushing creek or a stream. Pavilions both large and small are all around for people to take shelter from rain and wind, and others to eat in and to discuss business, and for entertainment. There are halls for families to celebrate all sorts of things like weddings, and also for services. There are also hundreds of different types of plants and flowers, lilacs, roses, and different types of trees too. Chinese gardens are spectacular in my opinion because they are able to capture a person’s imagination, and soar away with it, and also they are just extremely beautiful.
