Resembling a community garden you would find in Suzhou, Portland's sister city, is a beautiful green space near the bank of the Willamette River called Classical Chinese Garden. The Lovejoy Bridge, joining the Northeast part of town with the Northwest, is gone, but the replacement (complete with pathways, plant displays, a teahouse and store) is a welcome addition. A scenic place, this place is a must-visit for it's uniqueness.
