Dr Sun Yat Sen Gardens

Our Third morning in Vancouver we went to visit these gardens, they are partly public and partly private and we did both halves.
A lot of thought goes into the different elements in the gardens all of which have some significance to the layout.

These gardens were named after the founder of the First Chinese republic,a regular visitor to Vancouver.
The gardens were created in 1986 and built by 52 artisans using 950 Crates of materials shipped in from the Peoples Republic.
The result ws the first authentic Chinese garden outside of China.

Feeding Time for The Fish at Dr Sun Yat Sen Gardens

I loved the reflections of the trees in the water.

Each morning the fish were fed and they were summoned by the vibrations caused by the gong in the water.
Some of the fish were enormous and over 50 years old.
