The Best Things to Do in Vancouver, Canada, to Celebrate the City's Asian Heritage | Condé Nast Traveler

"The first Ming-era style garden outside of China, the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden on the edge of Vancouver’s Chinatown is dedicated to the Chinese philosopher and politician of the same name: Widely heralded as the Father of Modern China, he dedicated his life’s work to bridging a cultural connection between his home country and the West. Explore the immaculately landscaped grounds via a system of covered walkways, corridors, and walking bridges that were constructed by a dedicated team of 53 landscape professionals from Suzhou, China. Opt for the guided tour of the garden to learn about the deliberate placement of its scholar’s rocks, and the symbolic meaning behind its whimsically shaped Taihu limestone rocks and tracery windows."
