菱門東方石垣

この壁の格式高い曲線は、美的な装飾以上のものだ。その形状は、背後の貯水池からの強い水圧に耐えるのに役立つ。 特大の石は迫力を与え、富と権力を示している。白漆喰は美しく、耐火性がある。


Stone Wall East of Hishi Gate

The elegant curve of this wall is more than an aesthetic flourish—its shape allows it to withstand the pressure from the large volume of water in the reservoir behind it. The extra-large stones add to its strength as well as suggesting wealth and power. The white plaster is both beautiful and fire resistant.
