In the West, there are some obvious GIANTS............

Chinesegardenscene, took [ what initially was thought a bit scary ] ;

the " bold step," and initially subscribed to some of these .....

What lies - behind the screen ?

A WORD OF Experienced CAUTION, Though:

**********************************************************

" Do Not be MISLEAD "...........they CANNOT Replace YOUR OWN FORUMS

**********************************************************

Their Administration, can be found rather IMPERSONAL at times, because of the significant numbers of members;

and CONTROL is largely taken away from Your hands.

Individual and Creative DIFFERENCE, are hardly catered for, we feel.

" He will weigh me in accurate scales and Shang Di, will get to know my integrity."

Written in the wilderness by a very faithful man - nearly 1500 years Before Common Era.

From an ADVOCACY point of view, however - they have definitely served of some BENEFIT;

to us    @  Chinesegardenscene.cn

Embedded within Chinesegardenscene.cn,  are now [ as a result ] also,

some supreme authorised,  photographs from the galleries of NetWork FRIENDS.......

AS FOR :-   China Gardens & Chinese Garden representations, around the globe.....

Some have already taken advantage of CHOOSING such forums -

                    [ for example,  if You are a Facebook subscriber ]

                    Search    Classical Chinese Gardens

                    Search    Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden

                    Search    Portland Chinese Classical Garden

Because, we at Chinesegardenscene.cn, are still, [ as yet ] struggling to understand the language of the ' motherland; '

There is little point in trying to provide linkage, here for you and / or even attempt to judge or differentiate - between Western & Eastern social networks.

Obviously, it all depends on what your purpose is and where your target audience is.

We will maintain our presence on some of the GIANTS

There is a great saying [ we think, anyway ] and it goes something like:

"   The only penjing   [miniature landscape]   that's finished, is a dead one!   "

So we encourage You also, to always keep:

building on, what has come before.
