Stoneboat and Tea Pavilion

Stoneboat

Gracing the shores of the Chinese Garden's Lotus Pond, the Stoneboat 邀月舫 (yāo yuè fǎng) stands as a testament to architectural elegance. Its name, meaning "the boat where one invites the Moon” reflects ancient Chinese wisdom about waterside lunar views.

This two-storey marvel blends traditional Peking style with modern adaptations, honouring heritage while embracing contemporary design.

Once a branch of the Registrar of Marriage, the Stoneboat now stands as a picturesque symbol of our dedication to creating inspiring, culturally rich environments.

Tea Pavilion

Behold "The Gallery of Tea Fragrance" 茗香榭 (míng xiāng xiè), the captivating Tea Pavilion. This architectural marvel features three pavilions connected by a winding corridor, seemingly floating above the Lotus Pond – a design inspired by the Summer Palace.

A poetic stone inscription greets visitors, inviting contemplation of the serene surroundings, including views of the Stoneboat. Steeped in Ming Dynasty heritage, this space honours the sophisticated art of tea culture and celebrates the art of tea, brewing techniques, elegance, and creativity in a timeless experience.
