Mountain Villa with Embracing Beauty, Suzhou
Mountain Villa with Embracing Beauty is located inside the Embroidery Museum, Suzhou. In 1997, it was recognized with other classical Suzhou gardens as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The 2,180 m2 garden is composed along a linear axis with three main elements: a grotto called Autumn Hill, and Flying Snow Pool, fed by a waterfall called Flying Snow Spring, and a main hall. The rock work in this garden displays every technique and effect used in Chinese gardens. In addition, it is a recreation of the five important mountains of China, and shows a mastery of creating a sense of vast space in a small area.
