The 13th edition of the PLMCN (19 June (2012)-23 June (2012)) was held in Hangzhou (杭州), China, on the bank of the famous West Lake, an icon of Chinese culture renowned for having "influenced garden design in the rest of China as well as Japan and Korea over the centuries" and as reflecting "an idealized fusion between humans and nature."
