Chinese Garden of Friendship

Garden Sydney, Australia

What to expect

The Chinese Garden of Friendship is a tranquil retreat in the middle of the city, offering a serene escape from the bustling city. The garden is a collaborative effort between Sister States of NSW and Guangdong of China, modelled after ancient private gardens in China from the 5th century. It features meandering pathways, intricate pavilions, peaceful ponds, and lush flora, as well as a lake with shimmering Koi. The garden is designed 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. Visitors can find respite under the shade of willow trees, admire the artistry of delicate Chinese sculptures, and enjoy the melodies of gently flowing water. The garden also offers a fully upgraded accessible toilet and baby change facilities, making it a great place to visit with family
