Next Yuyuan Garden Yuyuan Garden, the Garden of Joy, dates back to the 16th century. The garden appears larger than it is because it is designed to move you from vista to vista.
Notable elements are the artistically eroded rocks and the shaped doorways.
In some cases the vistas are through doorways, in other cases out of windows, and in this case, through a tunnel. I don't know what these beasts guarding the door are. And, finally, another theme we will return to again and again. Here in silhouette are some roof lines with beasts and other small figures on the roof. We will return to this subject later when we see more examples.
