Jar-shaped door at Yu Gardens

---

Jar-shaped door that neatly frames a view as though it were a picture. Gates can be square, round or even book shaped. Traditional chinese gardens are made of four main elements: rocks, water, plants and architecture. It aims to improve on nature by creating a picture that looks natural but is in fact entirely artificial.
