Chinese Scholar's Garden (explored)

The main idea of such gardens is to collect and display beautiful natural landscapes in a confined space.

New York City Scholar's Garden is one of two authentic classic Chinese outdoor gardens built in the United States.

On the Snug Harbor Botanical Garden premises, a classic Chinese outdoor garden appeared, made in the style of the gardens of the Ming dynasty, which ruled in China in the XIV-XVII centuries.

This garden's architectural components were made and imported from Suzhou, China, including roof tiles, columns, beams, doors and windows, bridges, and floor and walkway paving materials.
