The Chinese Garden

Recently, my boyfriend and I explored the Portland Classical Chinese Garden, http://www.portlandchinesegarden.org/. It is fantastic. I really don't think I can describe it well enough, so I will just add the pictures below. Honestly, the pictures do not do it justice.

As you leave the gardens, look around at all the unique rock. This rock is very rare, and it comes from the bottom of only one lake in China. Actually, the rock has all been mined out of the lake.
