The admission ($10) for this tiny garden seemed a bit steep, but we enjoyed our visit. The garden is tiny but beautiful. It is very important to take the tour to understand the symbolism of what you see. more

Well worth going out of the way to visit this lovely garden. more

I agree with some people that $10 (adult) ticket is not worth the money to visit this tiny garden. But if you are interested in history and willing to take the 45 minutes tour, then definitely it's worth the money. Otherwise, go to the free zone area, it's beautiful as well. more

We spent a lot of time here and it was absolutly beautiful. I recommend taking the tour because there is alot about the place that you would not find out by just walking around. Totally worth a visit if you have time. more

The Vancouver Chinese garden is a lovely and interesting place. Although it is small, that does not take away anything from the experience, and it rates (in my opinion) quite high among other Chinese gardens that I've been to.

This was pretty easy to get to by public transportation. The "public" garden still felt isolated and removed from a city. Very pretty, lots to look at. We took the tour, I can't imagine we would have gotten nearly as much out of the place if we had not. The architecture and details were fascinating. more

Having been to Vancouver for several weekend trips over the years, I had never visited Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden. But I'd always been an armchair admirer of Chinese Art and Architecture, so I thought I'd give it a try. I will concede that it is tiny. What it lacks in area it compensates for admirably in beauty... more

Some of the negative reviews have suggested that the Garden is not worth the $8 admission. I actually think it is a very worthwhile experience. I've lived in Japan and toured the gardens of Kyoto and I thought the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardentcompared favourably enough and very favourably with some of the other tourist attractions in Vancouver (eg. the $25... more
