Huntington Library
A treasure of the Huntington Library is their beautiful varieties of gardens. My favorite garden is the “Liu Fang Yuan” garden, which means The Garden of Flowing Fragrance. The Chinese Garden is a magnificent garden completed with Chinese architecture, flowers, and arts. The Chinese architecture included in the garden, presents carvings of bamboo, pine, symbols of integrity, and resilience. The most important factor of a garden is everything with it, all flowers of the garden mark the shift of the seasons and represent morality with it. The water, symbolizes the ever – changing of everything in the world. The rocks which symbolizes the eternal, creates a balance of nature’s yin and yang. The limestone rocks and architecture all come from China’s Lake Tai. The Liu Fang Yuan is among the largest Chinese – style gardens outside from China. The garden is designed to express the wonderful traditions of Chinese culture with designs of bridges, a waterfall, and rock sculptures.
