Swap 1 - from China





The first card I recieved from direct swap, :)
This card is from China and about Suzhou garden, :).

Suzhou is China's well-known "city of gardens", which tops all others in both the number and the artistry of gardens. 


The Suzhou garden originated from the desire to retire from the strife of officialdom and to shun from worldly affairs. It seeks the return to Nature and the cultivation of temperament. In Taoist philosophy and the refinement of culture underlies the theme of the garden. Hills and waters,flowers and trees,pavilion, terraces,towers and halls constitute the basic garden elements,while the prominent tone is expressed in the dark colour of roof tiles,the grey of bricks,and chestnut brown of wooden pillars.


Here is some pics of Suzhou garden, :):
