Zurich Chinese Garden

In Switzerland, Zurich has its own small island of the Celestial Empire. For the help rendered in the postwar years to organize a water supply system, Kunming gave his sister city a piece of its culture - a Chinese garden. It was opened in the spring of 1994 on the shore of the lake. The park is dedicated to three main plants - pine, bamboo and Japanese muma plum. They are also known as the “Three Friends of Winter” for their ability to survive even in the coldest climates.

The place for the park was chosen very carefully to recreate the perfect harmonious relationship of the elements of earth, water and air, which is the basis of any Chinese garden. Landscape masters have worked hard, and the guests of the garden feel themselves in the territory of Yunnan province, in which many cultural traditions of China merge.
