Yu-Hua Yuen (Chinese Gardens) with pagodas, stone boat and teahouse.  The Chinese Garden or Yu-Hua Yuen is modeled after the Imperial Sung Dynasty style of the Summer Palace in Beijing. Bridges and archways harmonize with nature and exotic lakeside pagodas offer a beautiful view of the gardens.

The Japanese Gardens with traditional arching bridges.  The Japanese Gardens are reached from the Chinese Gardens via a 65 m long bridge. Also called "The Garden of Tranquility", the garden expresses a stark simplicity with small shrubs, stone lanterns and a miniature waterfall all conspiring to induce a feeling of calm serenity.
