park, Chinatown
It's not your typical, old-fashioned city park. This Chinatown Park has been designed using the principles of feng shui, the Chinese art of placing things in order to create harmony. The park also includes a fountain running over smooth stones and an artificial stream. And at one end, there's a modern version of the gate that marked the entrance to Chinatown for many years. The one-acre space is one of a series of parks planned for the Rose Kennedy Greenway, and cost $4.5 million to build. www.massturnpike.com/bigdig/index.html
