LEFT PAGE Curved path and undulating land forms with lawn and lush tree planting, reflect the landscape of the Tuscan countryside. ABOVE The planting style mimics the gardens as seen in Tuscany. LEFT The Tuscan style gazebo brings out the ambiance of the Italian country side.
The planting approach inspired by Tuscan village settings, with layers of trees and shrubs and big open lawns, further strengthens the rural Italian characteristics. This landscape design is well received in the development as residents enjoy a series of public courtyard gardens and private gardens which enhance the romantic experience. This development is very different from others in Xi’an and ensures an identity all of its own.
