Garden of Wonders is an attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland's Mystic Point that features sculptures that could cast an optical illusion by viewing from a certain angle/distance.
Summary[]
Roam a well-manicured garden of three ornate exhibits from around the globe and discover something fascinating in their curious arrangements: when glimpsed through a special viewing station, an optical illusion reveals an entirely new marvel.
Anamorphic Sculpture[]
Watch as three statues — a phoenix, a Qilin (also known as the Chinese unicorn) and a carp—transform into one striking sculpture right before your eyes.
Lamassu Bas-Relief[]
Three segments of an ancient carving form a celestial being from Mesopotamian mythology, the Lamassu. Together they are arranged in such a manner to provide a forced perspective optical illusion for photo opportunities.
The Lamassu is based directly on a relief statue on display in Chicago's Oriental Institute, collected from Dur-Sharrukin, the Fortress of Sargon II in present day Khorsabad.
Neptune Anamorphic Mosaic[]
See the Roman god of the sea, Neptune, spring to life when viewing this mosaic through the strategically positioned oculus. This illusion is based on three-dimensional sidewalk art and provide photo opportunities for guests to stand on the pillars.
