The garden is a lovely oasis of beauty and peace in downtown Portland. My daughter and I spent quite a bit of time there and had tea in the tea house which I recommend to any visitor. The staff are friendly and there is also a small but nice gift shop.

A sister garden to the Master of the Nets Garden in Suzhou. I've been to both. The one in Suzhou has the edge, but not by much, and the cost of getting there is much greater.

Very beautiful place. Surprising in that it was great to visit in the rain. Designed with covered walkways that keep you dry. Atmosphere is family friendly. It is meant be be enjoyed by all ages. The tour is included in admission and highly recommended. Be sure to stop and enjoy tea from their extensive selection at the tea house. My... More

This is a beautiful block in downtown Portland and well worth the entrance fee. It is much more meaningful to take the tour and have tea, a little expensive, but adds to the experience.

Beautiful outdoor oriental gardens with different temples and shrines. Koi ponds and on site tea house with a small menu

Almost like you are stepping into another world once you come in off the street. It was a little smaller than I anticipated but still, very beautiful. My fiance and I both had a good time enjoying tea at the teahouse on premises.

Having been to China and in Chinese gardens in the Imperial palaces and Shanghai, I didn't expect much from the Lan Su Garden. When I got there I was surprised to see that the garden didn't feel fake or forced. Aside from the natural limitations of space and climate, the garden made you feel like you weren't in Portland anymore... More

This small garden in Chinatown is beautiful. So idyllic and calming to relax here! One funny thing is a blue jay bird came and scratched at my head - apparently it is nesting season so they will "defend" their nests from tourists by flying at our heads when we are not looking! A really lovely couple of hours.

We have seen Chinese gardens in China and in San Marino, CA, and this is as good as any of them. It's compact, yet seems large. Plantings, water, and rocks are lovely. The tea house is a must, with many options and lovely service
