What is significant about the Seattle Chinese Garden design?
When built, the garden will be one of the largest Chinese gardens outside of China. Designed and built in conjunction with architects and artisans from Seattle and its sister city, Chongqing, the garden will be the first in the United States to authentically represent the Sichuan style. The Garden will feature Sichuan horticulture and the massive rock formations inspired by China’s Yangtze River gorges. Where possible, its formal halls and pavilions will be fabricated in Chongqing using traditional materials and methods, and skilled artisans from China will supervise their installation in Seattle.
