Abstract

Rockeries, which imitate nature in a special form, are an essential element of Chinese classical garden design and one of the most fascinating features that distinguish Chinese culture from other traditions of the world. This study takes rockeries in Huanxiu Shanzhuang—one of the exceptional rockeries in China—as an example to study the methods of digital survey, documentation and research of Chinese cultural heritage. Using techniques of terrestrial laser scanning and digital photogrammetry, this study made surveys, 3D models and morphometric measurements of piled mountains and single monoliths in Huanxiu Shanzhuang. A survey and document approach for different kinds of rockeries in Chinese classical gardens was studied by comparing the related techniques applied in different situations. Using the methods studied in this research, rockeries in Huanxiu Shanzhuang were documented and measured.
