Dr Yat-sen Gardens in Vancouver




The Dr.Sun Yat-Sen Garden Society incorporated in 1981 is a non-profit and self-sustained organisation. It is to promote Chinese Culture in the local community. 

This centrally located garden serves as a bridge between Chinese and Canadian culture.


 Funding for the garden came from the Chinese Government, private individuals, corporate financing and Canadian Government.


This Chinese Garden created in 1985 to 1986 using principles and techniques of an original Ming dynasty garden.


The fifty-two master craftsman from Suzhou China along with local experts completed this magnificent garden within a year.


The woodwork of the intricate hallways and walkway assembled in the long-established method with precise joinery and an absence of nails, screws and glue.


Within the walls and in the heart of the city we can find a little heaven, away from the hustle and bustle of the growing city. There are peace and tranquillity among the tall bamboos and the koi carps in the pond.
