The Faded Original (before removal)

**The Chinese Garden** is the 57th level in Dancing Line.

## Soundtrack

The BPM is 148 for the entire song, with a 3/4 time signature.

## Difficulties

* When starting the level, the camera angle makes it hard to keep track of the line.
* After the bridge part, the sudden appearance of blocks may cause an easy loss.
* The camera doesn't follow the movement of the line, but rather sways and moves smoothly while following the path that the line will take.
* When continuing at the first checkpoint, the game will tend to lag on iOS devices.
* The path after the red fencing near the first checkpoint is quite narrow.
* After the lake, the line will have to fall while the camera is still quite high up.
* There are 2 secret gems in this level that can only be obtained by following the rhythm of the music.
* The narrow passage on the lake (from 55%-74%) gives the main difficulty of the level because it requires utmost precision in tapping. Your room for error is barely a millisecond.

## Strategies

* Following the rhythm of the music is the best strategy, since you can collect all the gems in one go.
* To obtain the second gem, you have to hit the switch right next to the dragon statue in order for the gem to be released.
* A useful tip for the lake, because of the angle you see the line, you may think the line is further than it actually is, so it's better to tap late than early.
* To get the 8th gem, when falling, you have to tap 4 times according to the rhythm, for the gears to bring the gem up. Failing to tap correctly will cause the gears to retract instead.
* Right after the part with the gears, as soon as you touch the ground, do not tap until the next note is played. (Tap when you hear a "B" note).

## Trivia

* At the beginning of the level, the line enters a gate that says,"一個園", literally translating to "a garden".
* The couplets on the pavilion reads "賞心樂事亭台外 姹紫嫣紅牡丹開", translating to "enjoy the fun outside the pavilion, and the red peonies bloom".
	+ It is based on a real pavilion called 牡丹亭 (The pavilion of peony) in China.
* The statue at around 45% resemble a Chinese Sundial.
* The cube in the level icon moves diagonally.
* This level is arguably harder than the level, The Racing.
* This was the first level to be released with a camera that doesn't follow the line, but instead moves on its own.
* After the lake segment, the soundtrack is similar to the start of the song, but transposed two semitones up.
* The narrow passage on the lake at 55%-74% which rises up from the water is similar to The Autumn (80%-100%) and The Plains (at 70%-80%). However, The Chinese Garden is considered to be harder due to the thin path and the camera's movement constantly zooming in and out.
* The Chinese Brush accompanies the level.
* The Chinese Garden is the first level to be inspired by a country.
* In the level icon, the cherry blossom trees have the same tree design as those from The Plains.
* If closely viewed, one can see that the lanterns in the town sway.
* Despite how narrow the path is, it is possible to complete this level and only collect 2 gems.
	+ The gems you have to collect are the 3rd one, between the fences, and the 10th, at the end.
	+ The others have ways around them; the 1st you can miss by tapping to the beat of the bass drum after the decoration. For the 2nd, just don't hit the mechanism that activates the statue. The 4th can be missed by not tapping to re-enter the red gates, (the side gates can be passed through). The 5th, 6th, and 7th, can all be missed by not spam tapping at their respective locations. The 8th can be missed by not tapping while falling, and the 9th can be missed by tapping after you pass it on the wall.
