8. Ji Chang Yuan, Jiangsu, China
Located inside Xihui Park, this originally 16th-century garden in Jiangsu province is also known as the Garden of Ecstasy – which promises much. But it also delivers. This is a garden of illusion, occupying barely an acre but giving an impression of depth, breadth and height. An artificial mountain in distinctive yellow rock appears to be a natural part of the hilly landscape surrounding the garden, and a decorous “musical” stream gurgles down it into a long pool, its many inlets creating a feeling of naturalism.
A beautiful low-eaved pavilion extends over the water at one point, while the far end of the pool is dignified by the Bridge of Seven Stars. Beyond this the garden dissolves into more compartments with pavilions and allées. The fact that the garden was comprehensively restored in the 19th century does not alter the fact of its beauty.
7. Bagh-e Fin, Kashan, Iran

1. Kirstenbosch, Cape Town, South Africa
Kirstenbosch is South Africa’s world-famous national botanical garden, set against the backdrop of Table Mountain and Devil’s Peak, and home to more than 22 000 indigenous plants. We include this garden at the first place in our list of most beautiful gardens because of its beautiful and awsomagic environment. When the garden was founded in 1913 to preserve the country’s unique flora, it was the first botanical garden in the world with this ethos.
Of particular interest to foreign visitors are the Protea garden – a showcase of these other-worldly plants – and the area devoted to Restio grasses, huge swathes of them in their characteristic deep greens and browns. It was discovered relatively recently that these plants need smoke from bush fires to reproduce, and Kirstenbosch has led the way in unravelling the mysteries of this process. -wonderslist
