The Chinese Gardens in Zurich is lauded as one of the most respected Temple Gardens outside of China. Its main tenet—the Three Friends in Winter—is hidden within the garden and provides an in-depth analysis of Chinese culture: bamboo, pine, and the winter cherry, which brave the cold season in unison.
Located at a tranquil green park on the shores of Lake Zurich, the Chinese Garden was a gift from the city’s Chinese sister city of Kunming for the technical and scientific support provided for the expansion of the drinking water supply and urban drainage in Kunming. At the center of the landscape is a peaceful pond with a small island, pavilions and even a small palace on the banks.
The Chinese Gardens, aka Chinagarten Zürich, is open daily in the spring, summer, and fall at Bellerivestrasse 138, 8008, Zürich.
