23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The Gate of Time
Before Li Garden was developed into a scenic attraction, the archway led to an open field and a small hill beyond — the area once looked desolate but full of history. Today, after restoration, the gate stands grand and elegant. Framed by the surrounding trees, it has become a defining symbol of Lingnan garden aesthetics, blending history and nature in perfect harmony.
