Magnificent Asian garden, a must visit to LA
#meetlosangeles
Magnificent Asian garden in Pasadena, outer skirt of Los Angeles.
Liu Fang Yuan, or the Garden of Flowing Fragrance, is one of the finest classical-style Chinese gardens outside of China. Filled with Chinese plants and framed by exquisite architecture, the landscape is enriched with references to literature and art. Visitors can find both physical relaxation and mental stimulation when exploring the dramatic l garden.
Japanese garden was also one of the key highlights in the Huntington Library which was built more than 100 years ago.
Hotel: Langham Hotel
Restaurant: Jade Cafe inside of Liu Fang Yuan

The Huntington is a research and cultural center surrounded by 120 acres spread across 12 specialized gardens. Originally the private estate of railroad magnate Henry Huntington, it is one of Southern California's must-see cultural destinations with magnificent collections of rare books, manuscripts, and famous works of art including Gainsborough's "The Blue Boy," Mary Cassatt's "Breakfast in Bed," a Gutenberg Bible, an illuminated manuscript of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, and a First Folio edition of Shakespeare.

Reseach Library (exhibits from the Huntington collection)
Today, I explored three small scenes in Los Angeles. The
123 picture is the Bradbury Building, an office building hidden in a busy city. It is really an office building. Entry is prohibited on the second floor or above.
456 is the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a group of lights at the entrance of the museum. The
789 picture is The Huntington Library, which is a library. In fact, it is more special in the garden design. It can move African Australian plants, Chinese gardens and Japanese gardens to the United States in the 19th century, and it is unimaginable rich hahaha.
The time difference of chaos, I don't know what time you are,
I wish you good morning, good afternoon. Good night.
The Huntington Library
This is an amazing place that I always take visitors to, but it's really too much to see in one day. Not only art items with values that are difficult to guess, Huntington has several gardens such as the Japanese Garden, Chinese Garden, both gardens are in the Huntington area. The Chinese Garden is one of the parts that we can use to rest in a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere, there is a beautiful artificial lake with swans plus wild bamboo trees on the edge of the lake, made like being on mainland China, several buildings are made of classical Chinese with decorations which is also typical Chinese. It's not difficult to get to Huntington, just armed with GPS the route will be directed to your destination, there is no public transportation here, everyone will use private vehicles to get there, so if you want to go to Huntington of course you have to have your own vehicle or rent a car.
