Vancouver Chinatown
The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, the first of its kind
outside of China, is an authentic representation of an age – old garden
tradition which reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The
Garden is characteristic of the private spaces within a Ming scholar’s
residence. With its asymmetrical arrangement of rocks and plants, its
winding paths and corridors, and the vistas that overlook its
courtyards, the Garden emulates the rhythms of nature.
Ming dynasty scholars, the elite of their time, lived and worked in
their garden, sharing these enchanting spaces with friends and family of
all ages. Like any home, a scholar's garden was filled with energy, but
also offered quiet moments for contemplation.
Step into our door and out of your daily life. As your heart and mind
relax, energy renews. Journey back in time to 15th Century China and
enjoy this "window to another world". Breathtaking, rain or shine...
