Welcome to the New York Chinese Scholar's Garden at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, a serene oasis nestled in Staten Island, New York. Located at 1000 Richmond Terrace, this exquisite park and tourist attraction is one of only two authentic classical Chinese gardens in the United States. Modeled after the elegant gardens of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD), the NYCSG is a harmonious blend of art, architecture, and nature that transports visitors to ancient China. Every architectural element of the NYCSG was meticulously crafted in Suzhou, China, using traditional techniques that eschew nails and glue, relying instead on the intricate mortise-and-tenon system. The garden is a tapestry of stunning landscapes, including towering scholar’s rocks, tranquil waterfalls, and a koi-filled pond, all woven together by zigzagging paths that offer ever-changing views and were believed by Chinese philosophers to ward off evil spirits.
