Description
The Chinese Garden of Serenity is a Chinese garden in Santa Lucia, Malta, featuring water channels, rocks, and landscaped elements throughout the grounds. Zigzag paths and bridges link different sections, including quiet spaces designed for meditation and reflection.
History
The garden was created in 1997 as a gift from the Chinese government to Malta, representing a diplomatic gesture between the two countries. This project marked the start of a cultural connection expressed through garden design.

The garden is open and free to enter, making it easy to visit without prior booking or admission fees. It works best to visit during daylight hours so you can properly see the water features and plantings.
