Lan Su Chinese Garden 239 Northwest Everett Street, Portland, OR 97209

"Not a bad place to go and chill out. They had some fun activities for kids but, as someone who doesn't like being around kids, they were actually easy enough to dodge so kind of best of both there. Tea house had some good views."

"Pretty cool for a day trip, the tea house is awesome, but located in a sketchy part of the city. If you have to choose between the Chinese and Japanese Garden, I would go for the Japanese Garden. You can probably get through Lan Su in about 20mins unless you stop for tea and photos."

"A really beautiful garden and awesome tasting tea. It's only $3 entry for EBT/Snap card holders. The only downside is the area of town is covered in homeless. I didn't feel safe walking with my daughter here or parking our car nearby. Have someone drop you off and pick you up later if possible."

"An absolute oasis of tranquility in the heart of Portland. Easy access from the Max line also makes it convenient to get there from many locations. Fully walled off with tranquil water features, this is a reproduction of a Japanese scholars home from centuries ago. Plenty to see and do, guided and non-guided tours available, and a tea house on site. One note is that as of October 2023 the tea house is closed and being renovated, bit they are opearting a pop-up tea shop where you can buy tea and accessories and a cup of hot tea during your visit. I'm glad we took the time to visit while in Portland for a convention, totally worth it."

"Wonderful gem in Portland. Authentic style Chinese Garden with lovely architecture and details. Tea house was closed sadly but I understand it will be coming back thankfully. Fun tip is to take off your shoes and walk barefoot on the amazing polished stone walkways for a nice foot massage. 100% recommend this place. The plantings, detailed architecture and authenticity are worth seeing. Also it's critical to support local gems like this."
