Chinese Garden[a] is a park in Jurong East, Singapore. Built in 1975 by the JTC Corporation and designed by Prof. Yuen-chen Yu, an architect from Taiwan, the Chinese Garden's concept is based on Chinese gardening art.[2] The main characteristic is the integration of architectural features with the natural environment.[3] The Chinese Garden is modeled along the northern Chinese imperial style of architecture and landscaping.[1] It is located next to Chinese Garden MRT station and connected to the adjacent Japanese Garden by a bridge.[4] Along with Japanese Garden, the two gardens are collectively known as the Jurong Gardens.
