@shiyao.tang: A simplified contrast, but a revealing one. A straight path lets you see where you’re going. A winding path changes what you see as you go. It’s easy to judge a choice by whether it gets us closer to the life we’ve planned. But what if the life we’ve planned is based on what we can see from where we’re standing now? At Versailles, the central axis draws your eye toward the horizon. In Suzhou’s classical gardens, a moon gate might give you a glimpse of water. Keep walking and the pond comes into view from an angle you couldn’t have seen from the gate. Perhaps it’s worth leaving room for a few detours. Life can surprise us with things we didn’t know to hope for. #versailles #gardens #design

So much like life. It isn’t always a straight path.

I learned this by accident in person when I visited China and took the high-speed rail to Suzhou. I was recommended to visit the local People’s garden. MIND BLOWN

There's a beautiful replica of a Chinese garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. It's called the Astor Court. Built entirely with hand tools by a group of carpenters that came from China in 1979.

Well, although those stories of design and character exterior are amazing as well watching this, thank you

I prefer the Chinese way of design.But it is inherently less efficient in maximizing space usage efficiency

Size matters. It just depends how you measure it 📏 The biggest trees in the world, from the tallest tree on earth to the one with the most wood, and where to find three of them. 📍 Cajueiro de Pirangi, Parnamirim, Brazil One cashew tree covering about 8,500 square metres, roughly a whole city block, just south of Natal. It's been in Guinness since 1994 and grows over 60,000 cashew fruits a year. 📍 Árbol del Tule, Santa María del Tule, Mexico A cypress in the churchyard of a small town about 10 km from Oaxaca city. Guinness measured its trunk at 36 metres round, and DNA tests suggest the whole thing is a single tree. 📍 Hyperion, location classified 116 metres tall, somewhere in California, and nobody found it until 2006. Its exact spot is kept secret because so many people went looking that they trampled the plants around it and wore away its base. 📍 General Sherman Tree, Sequoia National Park, California, USA The largest tree on earth by volume. When a wildfire reached its forest in 2021, firefighters wrapped its base in fire-resistant foil. Here are 5 tips: 1. Go to the cashew tree in December or January, when it's in fruit. It's open every day from 8:00 to 17:30 and entry is R$10. 2. The Tule is free to see from the street, with a small fee to go inside the railing. On its fiesta, the second Monday of October, you're allowed to touch and hug the trunk. 3. Don't go looking for Hyperion. If you want to stand under giant redwoods, the park service sends people to Tall Trees Grove or the Grove of Titans boardwalk instead. 4. A paved half-mile trail takes you to the base of General Sherman. In winter the car park off Wolverton Road closes, so park at the Generals Highway lot. 5. Bring 29 friends to the Tule. Send this video to the Mio app and it'll pin all four trees straight onto your travel map. #BiggestTreeInTheWorld #TallestTreeInTheWorld #GeneralShermanTree #ArbolDelTule #californiatravel
