Regarding second part of "Landscape of man", by Geoffrey and Susan Jellicole, "all parts of civilised world were in commercial communication". Even plants and designing ideas were travelling east to west, west to east!
I found some interesting links about the effect of chinese garden and Indian architecture in European architecture.

For example in 1805, Sezincote House was built in Gloucestershire.

It looks like Indian architecture, having onion dome, chattri and guldasta. Chattri in Persian means "like an umbrella".
In Germany, Munich, The Englischer Garten was built in 1789. It's one of the world largest urban public park. It's called English garden because the term refers to the style of informal landscape gardening which was popular in England from mid 18th cetury to the early 19th century.
