Located at 578 Carrol Street is one of downtown Vancouver's finest treasures, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park, which replicates a traditional Chinese garden, right in the middle of hustling China Town.
Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park is located right beside the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens, but unlike the Gardens, the Park is free, and is a beautiful place to visit any time of the year, for a quick stroll, leisurely lunch, or quick cat-nap.
Built around a little lagoon than is home to fish, turtles and birds, there are trails to walk on, through forests of bamboo and various trees and flowers, as well as a pagoda to sit under if if is raining.
Truly a tranquil place, I encourage everyone to check this place out, because it really shows the diversity and beauty of how the city and nature can coincide seamlessly.
