Although the white powder wall of Nanyuan Garden stands out in the garden, it is noble in itself, which can break the dull feeling of contrast.
Most of the northern gardens are red walls and yellow tiles with bright colors.
3. Differences in spatial processing
The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are relatively open and transparent, with more contact and infiltration between internal and external spaces and rich changes in levels.
