The Chinese Garden of Friendship is a tranquil retreat in the middle of the city, and one of the best things to do in Sydney.
Located in the southern end of Darling Harbour, nestled between Darling Quarter and Darling Square, the Chinese Garden of Friendship is a collaborative effort between Sister States of NSW and Guangdong of China.
Opened on 17 Jan 1988 for the Bicentenary, the Garden was modelled after ancient private gardens in China from the 5th century and is a masterpiece of traditional Chinese culture infused with Australian characteristics.
Designed by the Guangzhou Landscape Bureau, the Garden was laid out according to the ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism and its principle of Yin and Yang and imitates the setup of traditional Chinese landscape paintings of miniature mountains and water.
Come in and treat yourself to the peace and tranquillity. Wander serene pathways and take in exotic plants, blooming flowers and a lake of shimmering Koi.
