The New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden at Snug Harbor is the first authentic scholar’s garden built in the United States, now in its 25th anniversary. Based on the classical Ming Dynasty period, the garden presents the four essential elements of the traditional Chinese garden: rocks, water, plants, and architecture. On this tour, you’ll learn how each element demonstrates the opposing principles of yin and yang and reveals the philosophical traditions of thousands of years.
