Designed by Sydney’s sister city Guangzhou in China, the Chinese Garden of Friendship was opened in 1988 as a symbolic representation of the bond between China and Australia. With picturesque waterfalls, lovely bamboo plants, pretty lotuses and koi carps swimming serenely in the lake, come immerse yourself in the calm serenity that this garden offers.

Used as a set in some notable movies such as The Wolverine, for those interested in Chinese culture and heritage, this would also be an ideal place for you. Rent some traditional Chinese costumes to slip in and take beautiful photos in the garden. Don’t forget to enjoy a cup of traditional Chinese tea and dim sum at The Tea House, as you take a breather from the hustle and bustle of city life.
