From the outside, the building itself looks nice. Once you walk in, you're greeted by fresh air, beautiful flowers, and peaceful. There are statues throughout the garden and a pond inside. You can easily spend an hour minimum at this garden. It's big and many different sections. I believe there were about 4 sections or more. The staff were friendly. They don't bother you and if you stop to ask them a question, they have no problem answering you.\nIt's free and you can take all the pictures that you want! They hold different events here throughout the year. When I was there in October, there was an upcoming event titled \"The Fall Chrysanthemum Exhibition\". From the ad, it seems like an awesome event. If I lived in the area, I would definitely attend every exhibit they host.\nRandom, but the day I came here, I arrived 9:30am. At 10:30am, they were asking all the guest to leave because there was a police investigation. Someone was attacked a little earlier that day. That was so random. I was inside for an hour and everything seems fine so not sure what was going on."^^ .
