FACILITIE ENTA RMATI

The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden allows visitors and guests to experience a glimpse of the an-cient world of a Ming Dynasty scholar-official. It is a museum and cultural attraction created with Chinese materials and traditional building techniques and, as such, is a place like no other. Each person who enters has the responsibility to steward it for the future. Because the Garden is irreplaceable, there are, perhaps, more rules than in other venues.
