Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
Stroll seven minutes southwest to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. This Ming-dynasty style garden is the first of its kind built outside China. Take your time wandering the paths and admiring the traditional craftsmanship before the sun goes down.
