In Short – You can still hear traffic bustling through Old Town when you walk into the Classical Chinese Garden, but after a few minutes, the outside world melts away. Get lost in the details of exquisite craftsmanship as you stroll through meandering walkways and into ornate pavilions. Rain drips from roof tiles, bamboo stands tall amid weathered rocks. Take the time for an organized tour and see more than what meets the eye.

Calm and Cool
by elfqueen1977
A great way to escape the hustle of Downtown. The water cools you. The serenity will calm you. A little on the pricey side (6.50 for adults) but worth the admission. See beautiful chinese structures and wonderful flowers. Located in Chinatown district.
- Pros: Cool, Calm
- Cons: Gift shop small

Every Step is a Story
by Horizonseeker
Try to take the tour that they offer, it gives you so much more appreciation and background to what the garden has to offer. Although the garden is not very big, every step and every corner has been given detailed consideration. I find it amazing that they were able to ship so many pieces of the garden from Suzhou, China. The free guided tour is also an excellent way to learn about symbolism within Chinese culture.
