Chinese Garden

The Chinese Garden is a classical Chinese-style garden beside Jurong Lake in Jurong East, western Singapore, and forms the central part of Jurong Lake Gardens. Built in the mid-1970s, it had its opening stone unveiled in April 1975 by Finance Minister Hon Sui Sen. NParks closed the garden in 2019 for redevelopment, and Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong reopened the rejuvenated Chinese and Japanese Gardens on 8 September 2024, completing Jurong Lake Gardens.

The seven-storey Cloud Pagoda, ringed by 12 Chinese zodiac statues, gives a 360-degree view over the gardens, and the Twin Pagoda stands at the water's edge. The Stoneboat and Tea Pavilion sit by the Lotus Pond, and the Suzhou-style Bonsai Garden shows miniature landscapes inspired by Chinese painting. Other sections include the Bamboo Grove and Waterfall, the Cascading Creek, which traces a river from highland stream to lowland swamp, an Edible Garden and the Harvest Moon Terrace overlooking the lake.

The garden opens daily from 5.30am to midnight; the Twin Pagoda is open 7am to 10pm, and the Bonsai Gallery from Tuesday to Sunday, 9am to 7pm. Chinese Garden MRT station on the East-West Line is the nearest stop, via the Chinese Garden Bridge entrance.
