Where East meets West & Bamboo Dreams on Lake Zurich

Greetings Travellers!

This is my first post in this community im a traveller myself of sort and i got something interesting to share here.

Today’s topic is gonna be a zen garden a garden which i found strolling in the Zurich’s park by the lake and oh boy i really think i got something special to share with you.

So long story short i was strolling through the park and have in mind this was my first time in Zurich and didn’t know what to exactly expect honestly but for my surprise i found myself in this zen Chinese Garden and it’s exactly what i expected like they show in the movies - excellent.

On the door this guy with a costume welcomed us and just asked not to touch anything, cuz the garden was very hard to maintain and when you think about it it actually is very hard to maintain something like this, cuz it’s basically a lake within a lake with the Chinese fish and the greenery with the bushes and the trees i can’t imagine how hard would it be to make it look exactly the same every single day.

Anyway from here to bottom everything will be a chronological show of the garden enjoy! 😄

I was never in China but from what I’ve seen in the movies this is as Chinese as it gets. The moment i stepped through the door i felt like the time has stopped. I mean the vibes were very zen if i can describe it that way and you can definitely appreciate the tradition and the architecture of this place.

I guess you can start to feel the vibes i did back then and if you don’t feel like you were in China the next shots will, cuz we are gonna enter a place that looks like a home from ancient China with the tables and the chairs and most importantly the Chinese murals and the paintings on the walls which had such a vibe take a closer look.

I really appreciated this even though i see this as a tourist the elements and the attention to detail on this masterpiece is just out of this world. Now we will do another circle around the lake park crossing some bridges and meet some pond friends.

This is probably the part i was most excited to show you cuz this is the most beautiful part of the garden full of little stone paths surrounded by bamboo handrails. It all looked perfect and i probably forgot to tell you but there wasn’t any noise in the garden and you felt some serenity in it being alone with this beauty.

Okay i lied at least to the guy on the door, there is something i did touch while being in the garden and it was them pond friends swimming around the stone paths. I just had to do it, because he told me not to touch anything and also because i got this idea in my head that if i touch the fish i will get good luck. Hehe

Okay fellas that was all for today! I really hope i have fed your eyes with this beautiful garden and see you till next time. I’m thinking of showing you more of Zurich. See ya! 😄👋🏻
