Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden is a beautiful place to check out on your visit to the city. Beyond the beautiful pagodas and variety of plants I was also amazed by the intricate stone pathways.
They said that these stones were hand selected for placement, and were designed to be able to walk barefoot in meditation.
The juxtaposition of the smooth river rocks and flat stones would give you a different feeling as you walk.
Each area of the garden has its own stone designs.
And will have a different feeling depending on the time of year, lighting, and how the leaves and flowers arrange themselves on the stones.
