Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden, which opened in 2000, is one of the city’s most popular treasures. It was built by 65 Suzhou artisans on a full city block in Old Town Chinatown. The artisans moved from China and lived in Portland for over a year to complete the garden.
It took decades of planning to get the garden finally built. In the early 1990s, then-Mayor Vera Katz helped obtain a 99-year lease on a full city block owned by NW Natural in Old Town Chinatown.
