I highly recommend listening to a tour of this beautiful garden. Usually I avoid the tours but I'm glad that we stuck around for it. The woman (cannot remember her name) who led the (free!) tour was very good on explaining Chinese culture and how it ties into this beautiful garden. The garden is serene, peaceful and beautiful to look... More

Beautiful & serene in any season. Stop for some authentic tea at the tea house for even more culture.

This a quick place to explore while you are in the north west part of the city. There is a fee but it supports the non-profit who transformed a parking lot into this beautiful garden. There is a tea house in side. If you have plenty of time to be meditative, you should definitely sit for tea. You could spend... More

I missed going to the Lan Su Chinese Garden on my last trip to Portland, so I wanted to make sure I got to see it this time around. It certainly did not disappoint, and I'm glad I experienced it this time around. This beautiful garden is located right in the middle of Portland and is easily accessible by car... More

It is amazing to see this beautiful, lush Chinese gardens in the middle of downtown Portland. A must see. Loved it.

It's in downtown Portland, so it is very convenient to find. It's peaceful in the gardens which is quite confusing considering the traffic of downtown Portland. Their are so many beautiful trees and flowers; the koi ponds are fun, too. I like looking at the Chinese characters on some of the buildings. My favorite feature is the little waterfall.

Being in the middle of downtown, it was a little noisy. And one can see all the large buildings beyond the walls. The rocks had character, and the layout was conducive to the flow of visitors.

I balked a bit at the price (around $10) when I arrived, especially because the garden was to close in 40 minutes. Immediately upon ending, it was clear that the fe is necessary to preserve the intricate, delicate grounds. This is a beautiful, peaceful place, well worth th trip.
