Features: This book is a combination of theoretical research and reference materials. It is divided into two parts: an overview of Lingnan gardens and case studies. The former systematically introduces the geographical environment, historical origins, artistic styles, cultural characteristics, and constituent elements of Lingnan gardens, as well as the relationship between these features and the environment and culture, providing guidance for in-depth garden research. The case study section provides detailed introductions with images and textual materials, covering 220 general parks, theme parks, classical gardens, temple gardens, residential gardens, resort gardens, scenic area gardens, hotel and restaurant gardens, and riparian green belts within the Lingnan cultural circle in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau, Fujian, and Taiwan. Each garden's introduction includes not only scenic highlights and structural analysis but also historical and cultural analysis, offering strong guidance for garden historical reviews and garden creation.
