I start with pictures of the garden. The stone "hill" feature was built by servants who glued the stones together with glue made from various herbs and sticky rice. The peonies were lovely, and called "Chinese roses." The trees are marked with red and green labels. Those marked with a red label are more than 500 years old. Those marked with a green label are at least 300 years old. The garden was very peaceful. I would have loved to sit in the small pavilions that were built for the Emperor and his family.
