This garden is located in the Old Chinatown section of Portland. While it had a fair number of flowering waterplants I don’t have very good luck taking pictures of flowers to I didn’t include any in this post. They were gorgeous, take my word for it.
I did try to capture the wide variety of other things on the property, including shadow puppets, an authentic Chinese tea house, art made from colorful paper, and a young lady playing a musical instrument (which sounded very delicate and was a perfect complement to the surroundings). I asked her what it was but she spoke very softly and I don’t hear very well so I just nodded my head and said thank you. (I do that in bars too and one of these days it is going to get me in trouble…).
This was a beautiful, tranquil place in the middle of a big city.
