Great place to relax and enjoy the quiet. Enjoyed the Dragon Lights going on now, even though I wasn't there at night. I'm sure it's spectacular then.

Such an amazing exhibit from TianYu. The lanterns are absolutely beautiful. You start at the beginning of the arboretum, and quickly walk into a play area, it walks through the zodiac years and a really cool elephant. There’s not really …

Such a peaceful spot to unwind and take in the calm surroundings. I caught the Dragon Lights display during the day, and it was already pretty impressive. I can only imagine how amazing it must look all lit up at night!
