The new Chinese garden Liu Fang Yuan was breathtaking!

I did not do all of my research prior to arrival so I had not downloaded the audio walking tour available from their website.
However, we were lucky to be experience the garden as part of the Seminar and so had a very knowledgeable docent to provide us with the background information.

I could hardly believe that I was in southern California, I thought I had been transported to China!

I must say that my favorite part of the garden was the thousands of views we were presented with. I did not know that a goal of the Chinese garden is to present the visitor or inhabitant with as many pleasing views as possible. That goal was achieved, surpassed and continues. Although we walked around the edge of the garden I though that there was still much more to see. I am going back. And next time I will take that podcast with me.
