What to expect

Chinese Garden of Friendship is a serene escape situated at the southern end of Darling Harbour. Designed in 1986, this garden follows the principles of 'Yin-Yang' - the balance of opposing yet complementary forces - and ‘Wu-Xing’ - the harmonious five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Stroll through the tranquil pathways and be mesmerized by the exotic plants, blooming flowers, and a lake of shimmering Koi

An urban green oasis among tall buildings. This is mind-blowingly calm, green and beautiful. There are beautiful Chinese architecture based structures, tiny waterfalls, tiny dragons/lizards and plenty of places to sit and relax. 10/10.

The garden is amazing. We were little disappointed because it was moon festival and there were no lights as we saw in the pics. It was like normal. We will visit again in the day time for full tour of the garden because yesterday it was extended hours they kept some parts closed.

Beautiful little park with lots of hidden little gems to explore. This peaceful haven hosts amazing architecture, gorgeous flower and tree displays plus wonderful ponds and waterfalls, all set right in the heart of the city. Definitely worth a visit. Allow at least one hour to explore the well payed out paths and Chinese inspired buildings.
