obelisks of stone identify the entrance
with simplicity and style.
A running stream, an essential element of the oriental theme, tumbles gently down the slope to two connecting lily ponds below. An overhanging deck and a stone bridge provide a place to absorb the serenity the oriental theme evokes.
