Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2019, the Chinese government renovated the Lily Pond Bridge in the Chinese Garden at the Hope Royal Botanical Gardens in St. Andrew. The Chinese Garden Pedestrian Bridge Project was officially handed over from the Chinese government to Jamaica on October 3, 2019. The Lily Bond Bridge is a central feature in the Chinese Garden, which was built and given to the people of Jamaica as a gift for Jamaica’s 50th Independence Anniversary and also to commemorate forty years of diplomatic relationship between both countries. The original construction of the garden is captured in Record ID#39758.
