On the spacious landscaped ground of the "Casa Grande" Hacienda at New Almaden stood an authentic unique Chinese Ting (Pagoda) which was used as a Tea House for many years. Learn the history of the Ting 

and help us become caretakers of the Ting (Pagoda) to teach our children how ordinary people today from both sides of the Pacific Ocean proudly respect peace through our world's artistic treasures.
