"Eight Virtues Garden wasn't laid out with reference to historical gardens. It was done entirely according to my father-in-law's ideas," Li points out. "Everything went through his design--the slant of each stone and the shape of each plant or tree--so there were a lot of especially picturesque places."
「八德園建園，並沒有參考歷史上的名園，完全是依著岳父自己的『畫意』，石頭要俯、要立，花木要成什麼姿態，都經過他的設計，所以特別有可觀之處」，李先覺指出。
