| 释义 |
An artificial waterfall is a water feature or fountain which imitates a natural waterfall.[1] Artificial waterfalls have long been featured in traditional Japanese gardens, where they can serve to highlight a scene or to provide focus. The classic gardening manual Sakuteiki, written in the mid-to-late 11th century, lists nine different types.[1][2] The Cascata delle Marmore is an example of a man-made waterfall created by the ancient Romans. Artificial waterfalls were popular in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the famous waterfall in Viktoriapark in Berlin.[3] An early American example is Huntington Waterfalls in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California. In 1896, Gardening Magazine reported that it was the only artificial waterfall in a public park in North America.[4] The Liebian International Plaza in Guiyang, Guizhou, China has a {{convert|108|m|abbr=on|adj=on}} waterfall on one face of the {{convert|121|m|abbr=on|adj=on}} mixed-use skyscraper.[5] Indoor waterfallsArtificial waterfalls installed inside of buildings can be small or quite large.
