| Description |
In this new companion book to The Garden Plants of China, Peter Valder
describes more than 200 gardens he has visited in China. He documents temple
courtyards and gardens, evocative enclosures of ancient burial grounds and
imperial tombs, and public parks, botanical gardens, and arboreta, most of
which have sprung up since 1949.
Gardens in China is illustrated with more than 500 colour photographs, many of them depicting gardens not previously illustrated in any Western publication, as well as reproductions of illustrations of historical interest. With their distinctive characteristics, the gardens of China are among the most fascinating in the world. This book is essential reading for visitors to China with an interest in gardens, garden history, and Chinese culture. |
