Peterhof was a summer palace of the tsars in former timer. There is a garden that people called the Russian Versailles. This garden and the garden at Versailles are fairly similar, so people like to compare them. Both Palaces were built on hills overlooking their gardens. There are large fountains in front of both palace surround by a garden. There is also a broad path leading to the fountain with the watercourse in the middle.
The garden at Versailles has more hedges and they are trimmed very well. It is pretty quiet and it is pleasure place to wander around.
Peterhof is more sumptuous; there are over 150 fountains and 200 gold statues. There are lots of trees along the paths, which leads you to various features such as a maze, a lake, and a rose garden. There are also a statues gallery, a museum and a lighthouse. If you feel tired, you can have a sit; there are many benches. Sometimes you can see newly weds with their friends taking pictures. The only thing I was not happy about was there were so many people, so it was rather noisy.
The things I liked most were the fountains, which kept through high into the air, unlike those Versailles many of which were turned off. I also liked the many large flower beds, planted with colourful flowers arranged in patterns.
It was a gorgeous garden, and I did not see anyone picking flowers, so everything in the garden was rosy.
