Chinese Garden, Chinese garden in Marzahn district, Berlin, Germany.
The Chinese Garden is a park in Berlin-Marzahn featuring a large lake at its center, surrounded by wooded hills and several traditional structures. Winding paths and wooden bridges connect different areas and invite leisurely walks throughout the grounds.
The garden opened in 2000, after materials from China arrived in 18 shipping containers in 1997. Chinese architects and craftspeople built the site following traditional design principles, establishing the foundation for this project.
The name Garden of the Recovered Moon refers to the moon as a symbol of Berlin's reunification after the city's division. Visitors can sense this meaning in the garden's design, especially when viewing the water and traditional structures.
The garden is equipped with a teahouse serving dozens of varieties of Chinese green tea. The paths are paved and bridges are easy to walk, making a relaxed visit possible for most people.
The garden contains Taihu stones from eastern China, with their value determined by the number of holes present in each stone. These unusual stones are highly valued in traditional Chinese garden design and shape the overall character of the place.
