The Master-of-Nets Garden, Suzhou, China This residential garden in southeast China, called Wangshiyuan in Chinese, was designed during the Song dynasty (A.D. 960-1270). The arrangement of pavilions, halls, music rooms, winsome bamboo groves, and waterside perches is an exercise in natural harmony. The central section is a small world within itself; piles of yellow stones form mountains complete with caverns, and a tiny arched bridge called the leading to quietude crosses a pond to a small pavilion in the center.
