Last weekend, by a chance we stopped by the “Hidden Chateau & Gardens,” which is a designated historical building built in 1934.  It was the home of a world-famous actor of that era named Francis Lederer, who designed the place himself.  Nowadays they sometimes rent it out for weddings and parties. It looks very much like an older Spanish mission-style building, surrounded by interesting gardens with fountains, as you can see from the pictures.  Part of the Hidden Gardens is a store called the Canoga Mission Gallery.  The stuff there was very nice, tons of vintage clothing, jewelry, unique furniture, and house decorating items.  When the shopkeeper saw us taking pictures outside, she opened the gate and let us in, and turned on all the water and lights on to entertain us, even though we didn’t buy anything at the end. We all agree with Red Bear’s word:” This is  a nice and pretty place”.

In Chinese: 上个周末, 一个偶然的机会访问了一个隐秘的庭园. 据说这个花园式的庭园于1934年就已经修建了. 是当时很著名的一个演员Francis Lederer的家，所有的设计也是他自己设计的呢．庭园至今已对外租用为婚礼或聚会所用．　这个外观看上去为西班牙古典建筑的庭园，很多的假山与喷泉，被花园缠绕着，　你们看相片就可了解一般．　内还设有古董收藏供销售，东西古香古色，珠宝，服饰，家具，室内装饰，　一应具全．当那里的店员看到我们在外面照相, 她开了门欢迎我们入内参观, 还把庭内的所有的水喷泉和装饰灯全打开了让我们观赏. 即使我们最后什么也没有买, 她还是笑意迎迎的欢迎我们下次光临.

最后我们都同意Red Bear所说的:”这是一个很漂亮很美的地方!”
