Beyond exploring the garden itself, visitors can enjoy a range of immersive cultural activities: daily calligraphy and ink painting workshops at the Lotus Pavilion starting at 10 a.m., led by experienced artists; afternoon traditional tea ceremony performances at the Curved Stream Pavilion, showcasing the full ritual of Gongfu tea preparation.
Each third Saturday of the month features the Garden Lantern Festival, where handcrafted paper lanterns illuminate the pathways, accompanied by live guqin music for a dreamlike atmosphere.
Guests can also join the Garden Puzzle Quest, a themed scavenger hunt hidden within rockeries and corridors, perfect for families and groups. Some nearby hotels offer morning Tai Chi & meditation packages in the garden, blending wellness with nature and tradition.
These experiences deepen understanding of Eastern garden philosophy while allowing travelers to actively engage with Peranakan cultural heritage in a meaningful way.
