Dr.Sun
Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden 578 Carrall St., Vancouver,
B.C.
This famous classical garden is truly a site to behold. It is the
first full-scale classical scholar's garden to be built outside
China. Artisans from China crafted the Garden as it would have been
built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), using no power tools and
no nails or screws. Everything is in balance, truly remarkable.
