Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden Description
Step out of the hustle and bustle of Chinatown and into the tranquility of a peaceful oasis hidden behind pure white walls. Stroll among gnarled trees, past weathered limestone sculptures, and across bridges that arch over lily ponds. Explore on your own or take a guided tour (included with admission). Kids will enjoy looking for turtles in the pond and hearing stories about the mystical powers of the plants and stones. Grownups will appreciate the stunning architecture and the restful atmosphere. Bring your camera; the garden is a photographer's delight.
Kid Tips
Babies: This tranquil garden is a perfect resting place for napping babies and tired grownups. Plan to carry babies in a carrier so you can fully explore the garden.
School-Age Kids: The weathered limestone rock sculptures are a great springboard for imaginative stories. Like finding pictures in clouds, kids will enjoy thinking about what the stones look like and what they represent.
Planning Notes
- Eat in Chinatown. There are no dining options within the garden itself, but it's a perfect opportunity to sample one of the many wonderful Chinatown restaurants that are close by.
