Excellent!
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.
