Chinagarten Zürich

This is a nice Chinese garden that was a gift from Zurich's sister city Kunming. It's a quiet, peaceful place and entry is free, which is great. Not too crowded with tourists, so you can actually enjoy it. Good spot for taking photos - lots of pretty scenery. The garden is mostly shaded, so it's perfect when it's hot outside and you want to cool down. If you want somewhere calm to walk around for free, this is a good choice. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

Free entrance, it is quite small but very beautiful and right next to the lake side, so you also will have to walk next a beautiful scenery to get here.

A very beautiful garden! I didn't expected to see this very beautiful garden in Zurich, but I am very glad thay I found it. And it was a unique idea, since I only saw Japanese gardens so far, but seeing a Chinese one was something totally different from me, I felt like I was in China for a short time. It was also pretty clean and amazing, so it is deffinetly worth visiting it if you are in Zurich!

Very beautiful and you don't have to pay to get in.

The most beautiful gardens around the lake of Zurich which is free to enter. There are also a few types of fish that found a home in these waters.

A beautiful garden near the water. The entry is free and definetly worth a vist! It was a little bit crowded, but it was also a froday afternoon and the weather was fantastic. I's recommend a vist a bit earlier in the day or during the week for it to be less crowded. Nevertheless a great place to visit.
