Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden

Dr. Sun Yat -Sen Garden in Vancouver, BC Canada.

 

This Ming Dynasty-style garden-home is the first among its kind to have been built outside of China, and continues to be unique among the world as the result of the joint collaborative effort of community members, the Canadian Government, and the People’s Republic of China.

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is located at the heart of Vancouver’s historic Chinatown neighbourhood. It shares a city block with the Chinese Cultural Centre, a number of independent shops, and a public park and courtyard.

Over the years, the garden has received several honours and designations: it is one of Vancouver Heritage Foundation’s “Places That Matter”; was named World’s Top City Garden by National Geographic in 2011; and voted Canadian Garden of the Year by the Canadian Garden Tourism Council in 2012.
