Qian Yuan Chinese Garden

Influenced by the southern Chinese style, the garden presents itself in a play of understated colors such as white, black, gray, and dark red. Materials such as natural stone, brick, and wood underscore the simple elegance that has captivated scholars and writers for centuries. The central Great Pond, framed by an imposing rock landscape made of 600 tons of stone, reflects the seasonal changes in the vegetation and invites you to linger and explore.

The garden has left its mark over time; to counteract weather-related deterioration, the Chinese Garden Association Bochum, founded in 2000, is committed to its preservation. The association offers interesting guided tours, which take place every third Saturday of the month from May to August. Admission is free. Free, which makes spontaneous excursions to this cultural and historical gem easy.

For those who want to push boundaries and experience new perspectives, the Qian Yuan Chinese Garden offers the perfect setting. Here, the monotony of everyday life disappears, making room for individual development and creative moments. A visit is not only a journey into another world, but also a personal adventure in the heart of Bochum.
