“Historical Records Indicate That The Style Of The Baekje Gardens Had A Considerable Influence On The Development Of Japanese Gardens. However, As A Garden In The Royal Palace From The Sabi Period Was Discovered At The Archaeological Site In Wanggung-Ri, It Was Confirmed That China, The Baekje Kingdom, And Japan Were Closely Engaged In Exchanges Of Their Garden Cultures. Some Of The Oddly Formed Rocks And Strangely Shaped Stones In The Archaeological Site In Wanggung-Ri Contain Chinese Viewing Stones, Indicating The International Nature Of Baekje Culture.” - Nomination File
