¡iRavine Garden-A Place
to Forget the City Hustle¡j
Below the aviary pagoda, there is a magnificent waterscape
featuring a 13-metre waterfall pouring down into a stream which
winds to the artificial lake. With the fish swimming leisurely and
the lotus flowers blooming, one will forget all the worldly cares.
Behind the waterfall lies a solitary footpath leading to a man-made
cave, where one can enjoy the picturesque scenery of the small footbridge,
the running water and the traditional Chinese pavilion in the middle
of the lake. |
