Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland’s Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood is a beautiful retreat any time of  year. It’s a small garden filled with pagodas, bamboo, maple trees, ornamental cherry trees, peonies, and other flowers. All of these surround a pond with lily pads in the center of the garden.

I enjoy taking little breaks here to enjoy the scenery, either by walking around the garden or finding a bench to sit and reflect on the reflections in the pond.

Here are some photos from my visits to the garden. Enjoy!
