The Couple’s Retreat Garden must not be the most popular (I
was the first to visit, and it was good half an hour after opening), even though going
along city wall its entrance is next to the zoo’s.
West side is occupied mostly by buildings, east part is based around pond and man-made ‘Yellowstone mountains’. I could see some common things (like spiral climb) and attention to detail (like uniquely shaped windows). The idea of this garden looks to be deeply based in philosophy and literature, after all it was supposed to express its creators’ pursuit of harmonious way of life, and as such my reception was less enthusiastic than the garden seen before.
