Dunedin Chinese Garden
The Dunedin Chinese Garden, is located in the city of Dunedin in southern New Zealand. It is sited next to the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum close to the centre of the city and numerous other of the city's tourist attractions, including the Dunedin Railway Station and Queen's Gardens.
==Name and commemoration==
The garden is named ''Lan Yuan'' (蘭園). This was specifically chosen as it was considered to be significant on a number of levels. The character ''lan'' (蘭) is the third character in the Chinese name for New Zealand (''niu xi lan'', 紐西蘭), as well as being part of the name of the Yulan magnolia, popularly thought of as the flower of Dunedin's sister city Shanghai (that, by itself, 蘭 means 'orchid' ). In the booklet about the garden, it is called "The Garden of Enlightenment".〔Beattie, J. (ed.) (2008). ''Lan Yuan: The Garden of Enlightenment.'' Dunedin: Dunedin Chinese Garden Trust. p.3〕
The garden commemorates the contribution of Chinese people to the history and culture of Dunedin. The city has long had a Chinese population, with many Cantonese people settling in and around Dunedin at the time of the Central Otago Gold Rush in the 1860s, only some 15 years after the city was founded. Over two percent of Dunedin's population is of Chinese descent,〔("Dunedin welcomes Chinese garden" (www.newzealand.com, 12 June 2008, retrieved 26 October 2008) )〕 among them the city's mayor at the time of the garden's inauguration, Peter Chin.
