An authentic all-seasons Ming Dynasty classical Chinese garden with a teahouse built by artisans from Suzhou, China. An urban oasis of tranquil beauty and harmony. Never twice the same.
We were looking to find something new and special on this trip to Portland and saw the notice about the Peony exhibit at Lan Su. Imagine our delight then to not only enjoy the gardener's perspective but also to delight in this oasis in the city. We came home with souvenir plants - and a desire to return to sit and rest in this special place. Not sure if there is something magic about Lan Su but in our short time there we also ran into someone we met earlier this year in AZ. Cosmic!
