English Garden, Munich

The Munich English Garden is a huge park which stretches alongside the river Isar from almost the very center to the northernmost rim of the city. The park covers 3.73 square kilometers which makes it the largest city park in Europe and larger than New York's Central Park (3.4 square kilometers).

When I was there, it was summer time. The weather was good, and there were a lot people went for sun bathing.








English Garden is really a great place for recreation. River, field, grass, sunshine...... a natural place for resting and enjoying. After a whole day walking in Munich city, I was abit tired. I lied down on the field, looking around and taking photos.



After few minutes resting, I continued my journey. I came to the Japanese Tea House. The Japanese Tea House and Chinese Tower in the park are landmarks in their own right, the Tea House being a gift from Japan's emperor. The Chinese Tower is a restaurant and beer garden which serves mainly German cuisine. However, I was not able to see the Chinese Tower, maybe I was not walking deep into English Garden enough.







The scenery around Japanese Tea House was really good. But since it was Sunday, the tea house was not opened for tourist to visit it. However, it was enough for us to just taking photos around it. There are swan, ducks swimming on the lake.

After taking all the photos, I ended my journey in English Garden.
