About 65-80% of Lu-EChong were named after natural landscape elements or techniques of natural landscap treatment. The techniques was summarrized “conversing-scape”, “surround-scape”, “multilandscape”, “far-off-scape”, and “emptiness of Lu-EChong or landscape”.The results were proved through the analysis of visual boundery, locational pattern and “Palkreong (eight-sceneries)”.
