Select the morning hours precisely between 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM; the low horizontal sun filtering through maples is gorgeous.
⚡
The garden structures are highly secure but feature narrow steps and stone thresholds; wear comfortable casual walking shoes.
⚡
Excellent location for wide-angle camera shots; frame the ornate tiled roofs and stone pavilions reflecting over the water mirrors.
