In reply to Hillary Knudsen. Yes! I hope you get to go. It'd definitely be nicer if it's not raining!

In reply to Karen. It absolutely was so peaceful—a place I can't wait to go back and visit whenever I need some relaxation in the city.

It looks so peaceful here! I love it! I’m not sure if I’ve been to a Chinese garden before. I just know that I would love to visit such place.

I’ve lived in Portland for almost 4 years and still haven’t been here! Such a shame – I’m definitely going to go one weekend before the weather gets too bad!

You know, I’ve know for some time that there is a Chinese Garden in town, but I’ve yet to make it there. I love that it’s kid-friendly: I’d love to take my grands there sometime.

In reply to Cindy. Ooh I'd love for you to share it when you have little visitors! I want to make it a regular visit for me, too - I really noticed how calm and centered the garden made me.

The Lan Su Chinese Garden is one of the most magical places I’ve been to! I love how it transports you out of the city, and you forget what is outside it’s walls. I always suggest this as a stop for adult visitors, but now I have so many good ideas to suggest it next time our nieces and nephews are in town!

Haha, hi from the “other” Portland! I’ve never been to Maine… perhaps we can do a swap! 😉

In reply to Patricia @ Grab a Plate.

Ooh, I’m hoping to visit Phoenix for the first time in early 2019 – I’ll have to check out the garden there, too!

In reply to Aarika. So true! I love bringing my kids to places that wouldn't normally be considered kid-focused, in part because I don't want to limit their experiences (at least not too much!).

In reply to Hawnuh Lee. You should definitely make a stop there when you're downtown. It's such a peaceful, tranquil place!
