Acquaintance with this wonderful garden starts form the small pond, in which delicate-pink lotuses blossom in the late spring. After it there are several alleys around the garden, which lead to the central part of the garden. All sectors of the park are closed up here, so you may begin walking from any climate region, either flora of America, Europe or Asia. But it is better to start from the hill of wishes. One of paths leads to this hill. The whole ritual consists of rising up the stairs, where on each footstep you should repeat your wish in mind, and at the top you should tie the ribbon to the tree. And when the ribbon is torn, you wish will come true. However it’s better to spare the tree and just to rise up the stairs.
