It occupies a prominent place among the three largest gardening systems in the world.
The style of the Chinese gardens built between the mountains and the water is characteristic. The layout of all these gardens is flexible and changeable.

China garden
Chinese garden architecture includes magnificent royal gardens and private gardens. In all these gardens, artificial hills, flowers, grass, tree corridors etc. have been beautifully arranged and an impressive environment has been created which cannot be appreciated in a few words. The gardens of China are divided into three stages of excellence. These three stages are administration, deity and nature.
The reality, high level of social responsibility, moral values and political thinking reflected in the Lu theory of China is reflected in the design of the garden. It is commonly found in royal gardens. This stage of excellence is reflected in the half scene in the famous royal garden Yuan Ming Yuan.
The deity stage refers to the fact that romanticism is considered a beauty when gardening, while the idea of peace, happiness, and unhappiness in Chinese family theory is reflected in China’s royal gardens, such as Yuan Ming Yuan Garden , Sichuan Chinchen Sen’s Guchandaoguan, Hubei Udansen’s Nanyengan etc.
Gardens named after famous people in Chinese history pay more attention to natural beauty. Such as Chanlan Chowki of Sushenchin of the Song Dynasty of China, Duluyang of Simaguang, etc.
The difference between Chinese gardens and Western gardens is that Western gardens emphasize the principles of geometry and mathematics and give precedence to architecture, while Chinese gardens give precedence to natural scenery and the feelings of visitors and predominate over the unity of nature and man.
