On the east side of Phoenix is a shopping and office complex known as the Chinese Cultural Center. It is composed of several Asian restaurants, several shops and, a Ranch Market that is decidedly Asian in its food products and produce. It features Chinese architecture with traditional gardens and replicas of ancient Chinese pagodas and statues. The gardens are inspiring. The day I was there, I wished I had a book with me so I could sit and read for a while.
The small photo shows one of pagoda replicas located on the property.
Yes that would have been so peaceful, to read there. Very pretty!
