A Guide to the Ultimate Staycation in Portland’s Old Town-Chinatown | Eater Portland

"I strolled around Lan Su Chinese Garden, a serene inner-city oasis built in collaboration with Suzhou, and at the garden’s recently revamped Yun Shui teahouse I sat down to gaiwan tea service amid peaceful surroundings where the tea ambassador can provide guidance from a menu of over 20 Chinese and Taiwanese teas; the teahouse also serves wonton soup, congee, and Chinese pastries." - Janey Wong

"Master of the nets garden" and my way on foot to it - a few outdated, so far season mismatched pics. It's hard to believe, that this site (today listed as a UNESCO World Heritage) was constructed in the 12th century! Garden's founder was inspired by the simplicity and solitude of a Chinese fisherman's life, depicted in philosophical writings. Six hundred years later another owner, who referred to himself as a fisherman, renovated the place, having retained its spirit, and gave the garden a name: Master of the Nets Garden. Years ago, thanks to this place, I was introduced to Chinese classic art of garden design. I can tell, why it is considered to be one of the finest examples. Beautifully sculpted synthesis of art, nature, landscape architecture and scenery creates such a unique atmosphere, which literally puts a visitor inside a masterpiece. Strangers, who by chance got into my shots, also blended seamlessly.

It's worth a visit if you are already in Suzhou. Friendly staff helped us when we had difficulty getting AliPay to work. Many courtyards and a central pond, Nice tea cafe to relax on a hot day. Impressive antique furniture.

Beautiful garden steeped in history. I went to the night show. The garden is beautiful and the performances were good. Unfortunately, I didn't understand a word the guide said but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Definitely go if you understand Mandarin.

Every time when I where here it was a nice experience. This is a pretty good place where to relax for a while and see the traditional places from ancient times. How life looks like a few hundred years ago. Inside is also a toilet and a wending machine for some cold drinks. So if you are hungry, eat rather outside. Thank you🤩

You will need a local tour guide to understand the logic and meaning of the interior design.

For me it is the most beautiful garden in Suzhou! It is a hidden germ. Not as big as other gardens, but worth to visit, even when other Unesco gardens are full with tourists.
