Dream Lake Garden is designed as a replica of a Ming-era (14th-17th centuries) garden in southern China. It was designed by Chinese architect Le Weizhong. It was built in China then disassembled and shipped to Montreal where it was reassembled in 1991.

    I had no idea this place existed in Montreal. It looks lovely, especially in the summer when all the flowers are in bloom.
