Multi-Cultural Heritage Center & Chinese Tea House, Asian Gardens

One of our goals is to build a multipurpose, multi-generational cultural center with Asian Gardens and a Tea House Colorado Springs can be proud of. The idea of a Chinese Tea House with gardens was conceived following the Colorado Springs community effort, Dream City 2020, and GLF™ wants to tie the organization into the City of Champions.

Please consider supporting this great project that will house the Golden Lotus Academy™, Heritage Auditorium, Children Literacy Center, Resource Center, and Hall of Recognition, Tea House, Gardens and more for the entire community of Colorado Springs to learn about Asian culture and to enjoy its beauty.

We are hoping to partner with the Colorado Springs sister city of Kaohsiung and the Taiwan Overseas Government and hope they will assist in helping to make the tea house a reality.

The Golden Lotus Center™ is fashioned after a template we admire in Portland, Oregon: the Lan Su Gardens and Tea House, which took the community and their sister cities 18 months to build for $12.5 million. GLF™ plans to raise the funding through DONATIONS.

Get in on the Asian exploration. Experience how Asian culture defines itself in the art of garden design and dine in the tradition of tea drinking. The authentic Chinese Tea House takes you back through time, and still its cultural relevance transcends time to enjoy its simplicity in a relaxing setting. Donate to help build the Asian Botanical Gardens & Tea House.
