| book description |
This volume unveils the refined artistry of Jiangnan gardens through an in-depth exploration of Yangzhou's Ho Family Garden. Featuring captivating photography, delicate sketches, and rare archival images, it traces how the garden's unique architecture—its layered walkways, wall-backed rockeries, and harmonious synthesis of northern grandeur, southern elegance, and subtle Western influences—emerges from the local cultural heritage and aesthetic traditions. Blending visual richness with scholarly insight, the book rediscovers the often-overlooked cultural values and the profound, place-specific wisdom embedded within this landscape. Organised around the engaging framework of ""stories, routes, and appreciation,"" it invites readers to wander its pages. Ideal for landscape architects, garden enthusiasts, cultural scholars, and travellers, this journey reveals why Ho Garden is celebrated as a pinnacle of late Qing dynasty garden design and an enduring jewel of Chinese horticultural art. Text in English and Mandarin.
