Strolling in Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland, Oregon





Eric in front of Lan Su
Portland's Chinatown




The entry to the 
walled garden





Eric & I take our time taking
in our new surroundings.




These stones have been carefully
placed for barefooted visitors to
enjoy the benefits of reflexology 
during their visit.





Ornamental stones are
surrounded by tiers
of varied shrubs &
plants.





The Pavillion on a bridge 






Eric looks out on the pond...




... & sees Koi Fish with many
different colors & patterns.















This graceful opening in
the garden wall creates
a unique photo op.





Looking up through the
foliage at a Palm Tree.

(I didn't expect to see a
Palm Tree in Portland.






The Tower of Cosmic Reflections
is the Tao of Tea Teahouse




Eric & I enjoy Tea & share 
Steamed Buns Stuffed with
Spinach & Pickled Vegetables






The ancient & modern coexist...

The Pavilion & a skyscraper's
reflections in the garden pond













A carefully crafted display 
of plants & a Bonsai Tree
in the garden's corner




At the waterfall...

Look closely for
the rainbow.





This tree's branches  spread
over this section of the 
restful garden.







Eric and I agree that visitors to Portland need to add a visit to Lan Su Chinese Garden to their itineraries.
