There are 4-meter-long giant curtain wall columns, corner columns, concave-convex columns and cylindrical columns in the promenade. The rockery waterfall and the fan-shaped fish pond are connected by a stream decorated with fishbone. The stream is gurgling and the brocade scales are long, so visitors can stop and bend over to play with small fish.
