The first full-scale classical Chinese garden built outside China, a serene Ming Dynasty-style scholar's garden of jade-green water, limestone rockery and covered walkways in the heart of Chinatown. Guided tours explain the Taoist design principles; it is small, so an hour is plenty. The free adjacent Sun Yat-Sen Park offers a taste if you skip the ticket.
