I really enjoy the Portland Classical Chinese Garden, and try to go about once every season. It's becoming a regular outing for Elly and I. I've posted pictures from the garden before, such as this one...
For information about the Garden, and what makes it authentic, here's the link to the website. www.portlandchinesegarden.org If you happen to be in Portland, and haven't seen this, it's worth the price of admission.
The Garden changes with the seasons, of course. On the day we visited, they had displays of art and also chrysanthemums scatterred throughout the Garden, and info on their tie to China. Elly really liked them.
We stopped in the teahouse, which is normally very busy, and had some tea. We saw only four other people while we were in the Garden. Then we ventured out into the neighborhood for lunch. We ate shrimp won ton soup which Elly devoured, chatted and then browsed a gift shop where she bought some trinkets. We rounded out the day with a trip to REI to window shop.
Much fun, all around!
