This vibrant red bridge is a lot of tourists' favourite icon of the Japanese Garden.
The water lilies and the pond beneath the bridge symbolize peace, spiritual purity, and the calm clarity of the soul.
Water lilies take root in the muddy floor of a pond but grow upward to bloom cleanly at the surface, they are traditional Eastern symbols of enlightenment and triumph over worldly struggles.
The bright red bridge arching directly over them represents the Bridge of Life — a crucial transition point linking the challenges of past choices to a future state of mature wisdom and eventual peace.
