Chinese Garden Tour<br />

and Lunch at the<br />

Huntington Library<br />

By SEO MICHELE CAYLOR<br />

On Wednesday, May 15, thirty garden<br />

aficionados from CYC boarded a bus to<br />

the Huntington Library for a tour of the<br />

fabulous Chinese Gardens, sponsored by<br />

CYCWA. The weather was beautiful, sunny<br />

Southern <strong>California</strong> style – warm, but not too hot.<br />

The Huntington Chinese Garden is called<br />

“Liu Fang Yuan”, which translates as “The<br />

Garden of Flowing Fragrance” and is the largest<br />

Chinese garden outside China. Inspired by the<br />

centuries-old Chinese tradition of designing<br />

private gardens for scholarly pursuits.The creation<br />

of the garden began in 2000 and was truly a<br />

cross-cultural effort from start to finish, designed<br />
