This small reproduction of a Classical Chinese Scholar's garden truly is a remarkable place, but to get the full effect, you have to take the guided tour. Untrained eyes (like ours) will insist on seeing only gaggles of tourists wandering round a pretty pond surrounded by bamboo and funny shaped rocks. The engaging guides, however, can explain that the garden is based on the yin-yang principle, or the idea of harmony through dynamic opposition. To foster opposition (and thus harmony) in the garden, Chinese designers constantly place contrasting elements in juxtaposition: Soft moving water flows across solid stone; smooth swaying bamboo grows around gnarled immovable rocks; dark pebbles are placed next to light pebbles in the floor. Moving with the guide, you discover the yin-yang principle applies to larger elements in a more complex fashion as well.
