Situated within Philippines' capital city of Manila near to Rizal Park is the Chinese Garden, most famously known for its ornate Chinese-inspired gate which is sure to catch your attention if you happen to pass by. It is a peaceful green space adorned with luscious trees and a very relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a day out with nature. This park is very much similar to the Botanical Garden within the city of Baguio and was made possibly to promote the friendly ties between the country and with China. It is interesting to note that there is a small nominal entrance fee in the garden for about 10 Pesos but it is certainly reasonable as the gardens are very well maintained as compared to several other gardens in the vicinity. One of the most exciting attractions within the compound is the artificial lagoon adorned by the trees and colourful flowers surrounding it. The surrounding pagoda and the gazebo also add to the feel of the relaxing atmosphere.If you are looking for a quiet and less-crowded place in Luneta, the Chinese Garden is probably the great spot.
