Monty Don's programme 'Around the World in Eighty Gardens' focuses this week on China and Japan (Zen gardens in Kyoto and more, I think)
Right now, this second on our beloved BBC2, he's exploring the tradition of gardens based on rocks in China.
The show is available to those of us in the UK for the next week on the BBC iplayer (and obviously for longer, and to anyone around the world, from less 'official' sources )

Monty Don's odyssey around the world's 80 most inspiring gardens takes him to China and Japan, two of the world's oldest gardening cultures.
In China, Monty visits the Imperial Summer Palace Gardens of Beijing and the awesome Yellow Mountains of Huangshang, which inspired the ancient scholars' gardens of Suzhou.
In Kyoto, Japan's city of gardens, he tries to understand the Zen garden.
