Inspiration : This layout depicts streams that once existed in the forest, but are now dry and grassy. The mirror reflection of the water surface is used in the layout, visually extending the tree trunk upward. At the same time, the mirror also reflects the plants to form the effect of overgrown leaves on the extended tree trunk. In addition, the fishes also simulate the effect of the birds flying through the forest.
