The Huntington in San Marino is a magical place. My favorite parts are the Chinese and Japanese Gardens of which this video is comprised. I have dedicated it to my Chinese Falun Dafa practitioner friends who had to leave their homes in China to avoid being persecuted for their belief by the communist regime. I know they miss their homes and families, and I hope they can return some day.

The Huntington is a private nonprofit collections-based research and educational institution founded in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington. Huntington had a special interest in rare books, art, and gardens.

The Botanical Gardens are a delight. More than a dozen principal gardens cover 120 acres of the 207-acre grounds. Highlights include the Chinese Garden––Garden of Flowering Fragrance; the Desert Garden; the Japanese Garden; and the Rose Garden.

The song, “Missing the Motherland,” is part of a CD titled, Awakening From the Dream, composed and performed by Falun Dafa practitioners.
