Chinese Gardens Four

More photos from the Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland's Chinatown. But, actually, the first photo here is taken at an outside wall from a restaurant in Chinatown.

The Lan Su Garden is gorgeous! It is fairly small. It is smack dab in the middle of prime property.

It is very well done! That is also an understatement. A must place to visit in Oregon!

If you are a avid gardener here are all kinds of books, that maybe you could be reading, about cool gardens from Amazon!

Chinese Gardens Portland Three

More pics of the Lan Su Chinese Garden (Chinese Garden) in Portland's Chinatown.

For my wife and I, visiting during the spring time leads to more flowers and plants being in bloom. We really enjoyed our visit.

Chinese Gardens Portland Two

More on the Chinese Gardens (Lan Su Chinese Garden) in Portland. Well, not everything, like the entrance to Chinatown is not in the Gardens in the second photo.

For whatever reason, there are not too many folks in the "Gate" shot. That is unusual!

Chinese Gardens Portland

One of the must things to do in Portland, Oregon is to visit the Chinese Garden (Lan Su Chinese Garden). It's located downtown at 127 N.W. 3rd Avenue in Chinatown.

This was my wife's and, my second time there. The last visit was about ten years ago.

The plants, trees, scrubs were not developed then like they are now...everything is absolutely gorgeous...especially when they are in bloom, like now.

Outside of China, I would bet that this is one of the most authentic complexes you'll experience.
