Ancient Chinese kitchens were known for their attention to detail and incorporation of natural elements. Some ancient Chinese kitchens featured a built-in indoor desert succulent garden with a sand garden. This unique design allowed the Chinese to have a constant supply of fresh herbs and spices for their cooking needs. The succulent plants not only added beauty to the kitchen but also provided a range of flavors to enhance their dishes. The sand garden helped create a serene and peaceful atmosphere, making the kitchen a pleasant space to work in.
