This five-hectare garden is center on a pond and includes pine forests, hills, bamboo groves and meandering streams.),

The Garden of the Master of the Nets (The Garden of the Master of the Nets is a clear example of this. It is the smallest of the Suzhou residential gardens, yet it is the most impressive because of its use of space which creates the illusion of an area that is much greater than its actual size.).
