Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
Situated in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is the first of its kind built outside of China. As a scholars' garden reminiscent of those built in 15th century China, its architecture and choice of foliage is based upon philosophical principles of Taoism and Feng Shui. A multifarious selection of lush plants chosen to emphasize seasonal changes, pond with fish and turtles, pagodas and rock formations representing mountains evoke an overall atmosphere of mystical tranquility.
