by a 65m bridge, the Chinese and Japanese Gardens reflect very contrasting
landscapes. The 13-hectare Chinese Garden portrays the Imperial Sung Dynasty
style and echoes the magnificence of the Beijing Summer Palace. It has
bridges, a tea gallery, a stone boat, twin pagodas with excellent views,
and other brilliant Chinese architecture. On the other hand, the Japanese
Garden places heavy emphasis on simplicity using stone lanterns, shrubs,
Zen rock gardens, traditional summerhouses, and classical Japanese motifs.
They blend together to create a soothing atmosphere. Both gardens are
open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Mondays to Saturdays, and from 8:30 a.m.
to 7 p.m. on Sundays and public holidays.
