The worked stone bridge on the east side of the Shokintel has a length of about 5.96 meter, width of about 0.70 meters and thickness of about 0.36 meters. When its architectural structure is considered, the stone bridge might appear to be a straight line that is somewhat too strong for a guiding path to a tea garden which should be very natural. Actually, without being at all unnatural, it harmonizes well with spatial composition of the garden architecture. 2, record 1, English, - garden%20architecture

On distingue différentes architectures de jardin : le jardin à l’anglaise : s’inspire des jardins orientaux dits paysagés; dans ce jardin, on trouve de grandes surfaces engazonnées sur un terrain vallonné où coulent parfois des petits cours d’eau; des bouquets d’arbres arrêtent l’œil; des trouées dans les massifs laissent échapper quelques perspectives; le jardin à l’italienne : jardin en terrasses garnies de balustrades, de perrons, de sculptures, de fontaines; des places ombragées permettent de se reposer de l’ardeur du soleil; [...] les fleurs prennent une place peu importante mais l’eau et le feuillage des arbustes persistants assurent à ce jardin raffinement et élégance; le jardin à la française : ici tout est symétrique; la végétation est basse, groupée en parterres, terrasses; des petites bordures de buis encadrent des scènes florales parfaites, géométriques ou légumières [...] 2, record 1, French, - architecture%20des%20jardins
