3. FLOATING FLOWER GARDEN, JAPAN
The breathtaking floating flower garden is filled with living flowers that float up and down to recreate the illusion of being in the space. When you get close to the flower-filled space, the flowers rise upwards all at once, thus creating a hemispherical space with the viewer at its center. So, the whole room is filled with flowers (over 2,300 floating flowers are blooming in the space), but there is always a hemispherical space around you, so you are free to move wherever you want. Sounds like magic, doesn`t it?
