"Chinoiserie" refers to the influence of Chinese style and motifs, particularly in the eighteenth century, on European art and decorative arts.*

Eighteenth century

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism
For example in 1805, Sezincote House was built in Gloucestershire.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sezincote_House
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.
