Petite yet a true beauty. Authentic Chinese garden. A beautiful place by lake Zurich.

Small garden, but there is beautiful neighborhood (zürichsee-Rundweg), just beside the lake, beautiful place for walking.

If you like to take pictures is beautiful and there's a small room with art. If you are not into taking pictures, you will stay there like 15 minutes, but it's a beautiful place

The garden is beautiful, it has a couple of very nice typical Chinese kind of temples and a house. The garden itself has a beautiful pond with Koy fish and there is a small path that does the tour of the garden. And it is free to enter. If in the area I would recommend going there.
