BEIJING, June 14 (Xinhua) -- In 1988, Chunhua Garden, a classical Hui-style garden, was designed and built in Frankfurt of Germany. It was designed and planned by Cheng Jiyue, an expert on Hui-style architecture of China, and his team members. The style of the garden was based on traditional Hui-style architectures such as the Tan'gan Garden and other traditional villages in China's Huangshan City.

The corridors, pavilions and bridges in Chunhua Garden were built around the water, and trees were integrated with the architectures. With its unique charm and delicacy, this garden in Frankfurt has attracted many visitors.

From Huangshan in east China's Anhui Province to the banks of Main River in Frankfurt, traditional Hui-style architecture connects international visitors with Chinese culture and aesthetics.
