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. It provides guidance for in-depth research on gardens. 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 waterfront green belts within the Lingnan cultural region in five provinces and two regions (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau, Fujian, and Taiwan). Each garden's introduction includes not only scenic spots and structural analysis but also historical and cultural analysis, offering strong guidance for reviewing garden history and garden creation.
