It's hard to imagine such serenity could exist amidst Vancouver's bustling Chinatown, but these gardens are a walled treasure of tranquility. Named for the founder of the first Chinese republic who visited Vancouver many times, Dr. Sun Yat Sen Gardens is the first (and to date, only) garden of its kind to be created outside of China. Fifty-two master craftsmen came over from China to create this Ming Dynasty styled landscape and, using precious rocks, plants and other natural materials, created a masterpiece that's a unique expression of Chinese culture. True to their craft, not a nail was used in any of the pavilions. Guides lead you through covered walkways to explain the significance of the garden's elements and it's a wonderful spot for a `time-out'. The Gift Shop is its own experience and you'll likely come away with carved stone ornaments, tapestries and other mystical items.
