![]() This made historical gardens more valuable than ever. In recent decades, fast urbanization has resulted in crowded cities, and accordingly, the demands for green spaces have increased. However, with social evolution, most of them turned from private gardens to public gardens. Initially, most gardens were created to decorate private houses instead of attracting tourists or residents. However, few scholars realized that historical gardens are urban green spaces where recreational opportunities for residents can be provided. Previous studies have revealed the use of historical gardens to record social lifestyles, tourists’ experiences, and various techniques for investigating and maintaining historical gardens. The historical garden is rich evidence of the interconnection between local culture and natural features it is an important cultural and ecological heritage for the city. Additionally, for policy makers and managers of urban green spaces, the recommendation of the present study was to consider and evaluate the differences between HGWSs and UPWSs in terms of visual attraction before policy establishment. The visual attraction of HGWSs was related to the foreground and middle ground, while that of UPWSs was related to the middle ground and background. In terms of the visual attention area, the visual exploration of HGWSs around the scene (i.e., top, bottom, left, and right) was longer than for UPWSs, while the latter’s central fixation time was longer than that of the former. Additionally, the visual perception scores of the former (i.e., fascinating, coherent, complex, and mysterious) were higher than the latter. The results showed that in terms of landscape elements, the variation fluctuation of the fixation time on various landscape elements by participants viewing historical garden walking scenes (HGWSs) was less than for urban park walking scenes (UPWSs). Based on the analysis framework of the visual landscape experience, this study employed normalized eye-tracking data and preference questionnaires to compare the difference in visual attraction of typical walking scenes between historical gardens and urban parks. Previous studies on visual perception and landscape element preference have mainly focused on urban green spaces such as parks and forests the visual attraction potential of historical gardens has been less explored. ![]()
