Classical Chinese Garden - Lan Yuan

Dunedin City Gardens

The Classical Chinese Garden in Dunedin is a transplanted cultural landscape.

An initiative of the local Chinese community to create a permanent reminder of the Chinese link to Dunedin it is an authentic traditional Chinese garden; an oasis in the heart of the city. One of the only three truly authentic garden created outside China. "the Dunedin Chinese Garden is designed as a late Ming/early Ching Scholar’s garden, and is separated from the rest of the city by a four metre perimeter wall. It is centred on a large lake, around which are numerous structures: an Entrance hall, a square pavilion, a study, a climbing mountain half-pavilion and corridor, a tea house, and two-storey conference rooms. A zigzag bridge crosses the lake and connects with Chongyuan, a central pavilion. At the entrance to the garden is an elaborate Pai Lou archway."
