Art Collections Huntington Gallery (former home of the Huntingtons, European Art) Virginia Steele Scott Galleries (American Art) MaryLou and George Boone Gallery (rotating exhibitions and art on loan) Reseach Library (exhibits from the Huntington collection)

Today, I explored three small scenes in Los Angeles. The 123 picture is the Bradbury Building, an office building hidden in a busy city. It is really an office building. Entry is prohibited on the second floor or above. 456 is the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a group of lights at the entrance of the museum. The 789 picture is The Huntington Library, which is a library. In fact, it is more special in the garden design. It can move African Australian plants, Chinese gardens and Japanese gardens to the United States in the 19th century, and it is unimaginable rich hahaha. The time difference of chaos, I don't know what time you are, I wish you good morning, good afternoon. Good night.

#falladventures What is this place? This return visit encompasses the two magnificent Asian gardens at The Huntington. The Japanese Garden, a century-old strolling landscape, features its iconic Moon Bridge, a historic Japanese House, a serene Zen court, and a world-class Bonsai collection. Directly adjacent lies Liu Fang Yuan 流芳園, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance, one of the largest classical-style Chinese gardens outside of China. With its vast lake, pavilions, scholar's studios, and "following the winding path" philosophy, it offers a contrasting yet harmonious vision of landscape artistry. Why This Place for a Solo Traveler (Again)? A second visit allows you to move beyond the iconic sights and engage in a deeper, comparative study. Alone, you can sit in the Japanese Garden's Zen court and then wander into the Chinese Garden's "Forest of Stone Tablets," contemplating the different philosophical roots—Zen minimalism versus Confucian scholarship—that shaped these spaces. It's a chance to appreciate the nuances of design, plant selection, and the play of light at a different time of day or season, all at your own thoughtful, uninterrupted pace. Your Solo Itinerary: · The Comparative Study: Dedicate time to each garden separately. Note how the Japanese garden creates composed views, while the Chinese garden encourages you to discover scenes along a meandering path. · Focus on a New Feature: If you saw the bonsai last time, focus on the Chinese garden's rockeries or calligraphy exhibitions. · The Unrushed Bench: Find a bench in a less-visited corner of either garden (perhaps near the Chinese garden's "Jade Ribbon Bridge") and simply absorb the atmosphere. Essential Tips: · Visit in a new season. The gardens are dynamic. See the Japanese maple in autumn or the lotus blooms in the Chinese garden's lake in summer. · Check the schedule for tours or cultural demonstrations (like tea ceremonies), which can provide new insights on a return trip. · Revisit your favorite spot from your first trip and see how your perception of it has changed. #SoloInLA
