Mooie Chinese tuin met Chinees paviljoen. To mark Rigas 800th anniversary as well as 15 years of friendship between the Latvian capital & Suzhou, China, Sudžou built a pagoda on the shore of the canal, surrounded by Chinese-style gardens.

Beyond the Horizon

October 24, 2024

This picturesque corner was created to mark Riga's 800th anniversary and symbolizes the 15-year friendship between Riga and the city of Suzhou in China.

What particularly struck me was the balance between the traditional Chinese architecture and the surrounding European park landscape. The contrast is exciting and makes you pause in a charming way. The pagoda itself, with its curved roofs and ornate details, invites you to linger - ideal for taking a short break and taking in the tranquility of the park. The arch that marks the entrance is also impressive, especially in the early morning hours or as the sun sets.

However, the pavilion could do with a little freshening up - time has left its mark in some places. Nevertheless, this is precisely what gives the place a certain authenticity and tells of the long-standing connection between the two cities. For photographers and those interested in culture, this is an ideal spot to experience Riga from a slightly different perspective.

Check out this pavilion if you're walking through Kronvalda Park anyway - it's located in a pleasantly quiet area off the beaten tourist track and offers a refreshing change from the otherwise often European impressions of the city.
