Chinagarten Zürich

I haven't been to a Chinese garden in China, so when I visited the Chinese garden in Zürich, I didn't have the same eye for nitpicks as I did in the Japanese garden in Toulouse. So let's enter the grand gate and see what's inside.

OK, this is something else. The thing with the Japanese garden in Toulouse is that it's only inspired by Japanese style. The pavilion and bridge were clear imitations, while this is a lot more elaborate. And that's because this garden was designed and built in collaboration with a Chinese team from the twin city of Kunming. The Zürich Water Supply had helped Kunming build its drainage system, and this park, opened in 1994, was a large and gorgeous "thank you" from Kunming.

The garden's buildings are intricate, ornate and colourful, inside and out, a real feast for the eyes! No doubt that someone with more (no, I'll be honest: any) knowledge of Chinese culture would probably spot a lot here. The Chinagarten in Zürich is situated in a wider park by the Zürisee, which is also a lovely spot - I should show pictures of the lake one day.
