WONDERFUL experience! Not sure what to write that hasn’t been written but it’s even more beautiful in person. You could easily spend hours there. There is a free lot next to the garden. Paid street parking is not necessary.

I have been to quite a few Japanese gardens when traveling around, but when I found a Chinese Garden in town; I wanted experience something new.

This beautiful spot makes for both a museum/garden and Tea House. This location is beautifully laid out with different sections to explore from bonsais, to authentic architecture, to lotus gardens. As you walk around you'll find spots where you will learn about Chinese culture and how nature is an integral part of its identity.

Once you are ready, make your way to the Tea house and purchase a cup of tea for yourself or get a small pot to share. They have a nice selection of many traditional Asian tea varieties and also typical Chinese sweet treats to accompany your tea drinking experience. Want to experience this at home? Purchase some of your favorite tea from their shop and other tea drinking accessories on your way out.

An overall great experience and highly recommended for anyone looking for something unique to see on their travels.
