The Portland Classical Chinese Gardens location was donated by Northwest Natural. The land was originally used as a parking lot and in 1999 the dream of making a Suzhou-style garden began. In September 2000, it was completed. All of the plants in the Gardens are indigenous to China but were grown in the USA. There are five Elements in a Chinese Garden, Stone, Water, Plants, Architecture and Literature. The Gardens take up one city block in Chinatown, making this the largest Classical Chinese Garden outside of China.
In keeping with over 4,000 years of Chinese tradition, the Portland Classical Chinese Garden welcomes the New Year with an exuberant and colourful celebration. For two weeks, the Garden showcases a number of activities for the whole family which include paper cutting crafts, lion dances, and knot tying.
