Classical Chinese Garden
It is as if you traveled to another place in time and culture and right in the middle of the city. The architecture is exquisite and there are wonderful smelling plants. Teahouse is like in China where you can enjoy the scenery alone or be with friends. Then the next time you visit, it is different. Amazing and unique, truly never twice the same as the Garden promotes. Take the tour because I learned that everything has dual meanings and plays on all your senses. The design is very intentional, very harmonious and inspiring.

Beautiful Place
I really enjoyed my visit to the Chinese Garden. It is smaller than one may expect, but incredibly ornate. A visit in the spring will provide a sensational array of budding plants and the magnolia trees were my favorite. However, in the summer, you can see the gorgeous lotus blooms rising out of the pond. Make sure to stop by the tea house for a cup of exquisite tea served by a friendly and knowledgeable staff.
