Lan Yuan, Chinese Garden Dunedin

Lan Yuan, Chinese Garden Dunedin

A Garden of National Significance, Lan Yuan, the Chinese Garden Dunedin is a perfect miniature of a traditional Chinese landscape painting and encapsulates the essence of nature. Built to take you on a journey to a greater understanding of history, culture, heritage and tradition – its origins came from a desire to celebrate the city’s Chinese heritage and its valuable sister city relationship with Shanghai.

Most cherished in this mundane world is a place without traffic, truly in the midst of a city there can be mountain and forest.
Wen Zhengming (1470 – 1559)

Come and relax, drink tea, bring a picnic, try some puzzles and games or simply wander and soak up the tranquility of the only truly authentic Chinese Scholar’s Garden in the Southern Hemisphere.
