Built in 1975 and designed by a well-known Taiwanese architect, Prof Yuen-Chen Yu, the 13.5-ha Garden was inspired by and built based on classical northern-Chinese imperial style of architecture and landscaping, specifically reminiscent of the Sung Dynasty period.

Today, the Chinese Garden continues to provide a peaceful refuge to nearby residents who go there for walks amidst landscaped grounds. It is a perfect venue for celebrations during festive periods such as Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival. The bridges and pagodas also attract couples there for wedding photography shoots.
