Lan Yuan - Dunedin Chinese Garden
★★★★★★
Lan Yuan - Dunedin Chinese Garden is an authentic example of a late Ming early Ching Dynasty scholar’s garden and celebrates the Chinese influence on Otago's history and heritage. It is one of only three that exist outside of China and the only one in the southern hemisphere. All materials have been transported from Shanghai and the Garden was built by traditional Chinese artisans and builders. Plantings were influenced by garden architects from Shanghai, planted and maintained with the influence of traditional Chinese culture and heritage.
Transport yourself away from New Zealand in this traditional Chinese garden then complete the experience by trying traditional-style Chinese teas and food in the form of steamed buns and dumplings in the Tea House and Gift Shop.
