Replica of famed Chinese garden unveiled in Hamburg
Adjust font size:

Yuyuan Garden, a renowned traditional Chinese-style garden in China's economic powerhouse Shanghai, now has a replica in the German port city of Hamburg.

A mimic version of Yuyuan Garden, about 80 percent of the original size, was unveiled on Thursday.

Covering 3,000 square meters, the garden will serve original Chinese food and tea, and stage cultural events. The garden is dubbed Chinese Tea House by local people.

With typical Chinese style pavilion and zigzag bridges above the ponds, the Tea House has become a milestone scene for Hamburg, Germany's second largest city and the sister city of Shanghai.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Hamburg Mayor Ole von Beust said the Tea House has set a good example for the close economic cooperation and cultural exchange between Hamburg and Shanghai as well as that between Germany and China at large.

The Chinese-style garden at the downtown Hamburg would increase the locals' interest in China and Chinese culture and enhance dialogue between the two peoples, he said.
