Now Open!
Liu Fang Yuan,
the Garden of Flowing Fragrance
Inspired by the centuries old Chinese tradition of private
gardens designed for scholarly pursuits, Liu Fang Yuan,
combines the scenic beauty of nature with the
expressiveness of literature to give deeper meaning to the
landscape. A walk through its paths enriches the mind and
spirit alike. True to the authentic nature of a Chinese
garden, the design respects the site. Sheltering woods
were left undisturbed to create a sylvan backdrop. A
man-made lake shimmers in the same deep spot where water
naturally collected on the Huntington property after heavy
rains. Chinese architecture and rocks from China’s Lake
Tai, placed around the water’s edge, are balanced with
native features such as California oaks.
The
Huntington
is a research and educational center set amidst 120 acres
of breathtaking gardens. Three art galleries and a library
showcase magnificent collections of paintings, sculptures,
rare books, manuscripts, and decorative arts. The
botanical collection features over 14,000
different species of plants.
