The Conservatory's landscape changes with the seasons dotted in different colors, flowers and plants with themed displays during Christmas time and Chinese New Year. This review is focused on 2013's Chinese New Year display.
Exit the Dragon and Enter Year of the Snake!
These landscape artists are masters at what they do. The little details of the koi ponds and water features to placement of flowers, plants and trees are visually stunning from every angle. You can always count on some nice photo ops throughout the year here although the Chinese New Year displays have always been my favorite. The viewing is much prettier during the early evening hours when you can see the lighting highlight some of the displays.
There are some elements of feng shui incorporated. The the vibrant colors of red and yellow..the lucky money tree with gold coins, the two pots in front of the tree that burns incense is supposed to ward off bad fortune. Water features bring positive energy or "chi"
Check out the huge fishing boat it's made of teak wood. Lots of detailing and little things people miss about it when taking photos.
This attraction is free and is open to the public 24/7. The Chinese New Year display will be there till March 3rd. Gung Hay Fat Choy!
