Rizal Park (Luneta) Chinese Garden

Long weekend decided to go downtown and check out Rizal Park.  Pics of Chinese Garden within the park i can say that it looks a tad better now but still needs improvement.  The big moat does not have water and it doesn't look like it is being cleaned or renovated.

 The monument of Confucius (Confuse Us)

 The courtyard

 Chinese proverbs translated into English and Filipino

 Another view of the courtyard 

A Pagoda inside the garden
