The meaning of the sentence?
Could I get you to tell me how I should interpret the red sentence? I can't understand the functions of "not so much" and "as"in particular. Thanks in advance!
You see, it's not so much the Grand Galloping Gala as it is the wondrous private gated garden that surrounds the dance.

Let me simplify and clarify it: it's not so much the Gala as it is the garden [that is interesting] = the Gala is interesting, but the garden is more interesting.
