Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden

Constructed in an authentic Ming Dynasty-style, the garden is renowned as being the first of its type built since the late 15th century. Traditional materials from Suzhou, the Garden City of the People's Republic, were used in the construction. It was built with only carefully arranged rocks, wood, plants and water, all without using screws, nails or power tools. The principles of yin and yang opposites, such as light and dark and rough and smooth, are a strong element in this garden's design. Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden is the place to be during Chinese New Year celebrations in Vancouver.
