The Humble Administrator’s Garden is designed with the traditional Chinese concept “heaven and human in one” (Sha, 2008, p.10). Chinese Garden is often called symbolic garden with natural style, while this symbolism mostly means a natural result of abstraction (Wang et al., 2004, p94). The Humble Administrator’s Garden can be seen as an ancient private heaven in the modern society because of its rich and ingenious combination of all kinds of landscape factors such as mountain with pavilion, pool with lotus, river with bridge and even forest with grass. It can be seen that the space is fully applied for the layout of the garden. To pursue the natural beauty the natural factors like mountain, river and forest which are made with great care or chosen from the real nature are vividly built. The garden is designed with fully considering human’s feeling, for example, the pavilion is set up among the mountain, pool and bridge, so people can sit talking and enjoying the scenery. What’s more, the tea table and seats made by stone are located in the center of the pavilion for the host to drink tea with his guests and friends considering the tea custom and tea culture. When walking in the garden, people can clearly feel its ancient cultural atmosphere. 拙政園的設計與中國傳統的觀念“天人合一”的人（沙，2008，第10頁）。中國園林是通常被稱為象征性的園林與自然的風格，而這種象征意義主要是指抽象的自然結果（Wang等人。，2004，P94）。拙政園可以看作是現代社會中一個古老的私人天堂由于其豐富的巧妙結合，各類景觀要素如山亭，池荷花，橋和草甚至林河。可以看出，空間是完全適用于花園的布局。追求自然美的像山的自然因素，河流和森林是非常小心或選擇從真實自然生動地建。這個花園的設計充分考慮了人的感覺，例如，展館設置在山區，游泳池和橋，所以人們可以坐在欣賞風景。更重要的是，茶幾，座椅由石位于展館中心的主機喝茶和他的客人和朋友考慮茶俗與茶文化。當走在花園里，人們可以清楚地感覺到它的古老的文化氛圍。
