Roger and I visited one of my favourite places in Vancouver over the weekend - the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Chinese Garden, an authentic representation of a 15th Century Chinese garden smack in the middle of Chinatown/downtown. It was nice to have a zen moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city and felt like we were whisked away to another land... like a mini vacation in our own city.... ahhhhhhh (that is my relaxing sigh, btw). Unfortunately my "ahhhhh" is now turning into "ugh!", since the weather here has now turned for the worse this week... rain, rain and more rain... and it's washing away my zen!!
Oh what a cool place! I'd love to go walk around somewhere like that for an afternoon... I could really use some Zen haha,
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely LOVE to spend a day there, it looks beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
What a lovely place to visit ♥
ReplyDeleteIt's a downpour here. A couple days of sun and now it's back to raining all week
what a beautirul place
ReplyDeletenice shots :-)
beautiful! i'll have to check this place out
ReplyDeleterain here too. let's just hope we continue in our pattern - rain all week, beautiful sunny weekend!
ReplyDeletefor those of us trapped in an office all week (me. ugh.), this isn't all that bad of a scenario...:P
This place looks great! So sorry to hear that your zen is being washed away ;(
ReplyDeleteIt does feel like the sun is ever so fleeting at the moment. The trick is to find the Zen with rain ;)
ReplyDeletehow beautiful! hard to believe it's in the heart of Vancouver! : )
ReplyDeleteSo tranquil! I haven't been there in years but it is a haven. We have a beautiful Chinese Garden here in P.Town and I love to go there. I love all the "Rooms" and the amazing vistas in such small spaces. T. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have crazy rain too. sure could use a walk in that lovely place.
ReplyDeleteThat place is amazing isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe only time I went though was when I was a parent chaperone to my son's grade 5 class.
I'[ll have to go back when I soak it in rather than chase a bunch of crazy kids :)
Awesome! Like a fantasy world!
ReplyDeleteit's raining here tonight too....but your photos are a beautiful escape indeed!
ReplyDeleteHow Neat.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty, I love the style.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful and zen.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be having the same rain and overcast skies down here in Michigan (it's nice to be able to say "down here" every once in a while :) )
It looks wonderful! I'd love can visit it and take a lot of photos! :)
ReplyDeleteHere the Sun is rising again, finally!! Hope Vancouver gets a good weather soon too.
Love!
