Named ‘World’s Top City Garden’ by National Geographic, ‘Garden of the Year’ by the Canadian Garden Council and ‘Places that Matter’ by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation, the Classical Chinese Garden is truly a place of urban zen.
First of its kind built outside of China and the perfect place to visit year-round. Its covered walkways and beautiful pavilions protect guests from Vancouver’s famous rainforest conditions! The jade green pond with koi fish, a collection of 100-year old miniature trees and rare tai hu rock imported from China, are some of the delights and secrets this Garden offers.

Bring the kids
Summer’s here and Canada’s public gardens are at their best. You know you want to visit them yourself – who wouldn’t want to stroll through a beautiful park filled with flowers – but maybe you feel you’re so tied up with your children or grandchildren you just can’t get away. Well, there’s an easy solution to that: bring them along!
