This fabulous Asian garden occupes an entire city block in Portland's Old Town/Chinatown district just north of downtown. It's one of the only truly authentic Chinese gardens in the USA - modeled after China's Ming dynasty scholars gardens - and aims to be an oasis where people can escape the hustle of everyday life and connect with nature. In addition to featuring plants and trees native to China as well as an 8,000-square-foot lake, the garden also hosts a variety of Chinese cultural events and festivals, such as the Lunar New Year festival and lantern viewing evenings. It´s open daily from 10 am to 6 pm (till 4 pm from mid-October through April) and admission costs $14 for adults, $11 for kids ages six to 18 and is free for age five and younger.
