The Chinese Garden of Friendship is a Chinese
garden in Darling Harbour and close to Chinatown. Modeled on the typical
private gardens of the Ming Dynasty, the garden offers an insight into Chinese
heritage and culture.
Sydney's Chinatown complements the areas already rich Chinese
heritage and culture. The gardens were officially opened in 1988 as part of
Sydney's bicentennial celebrations and they were named the Garden of Friendship
symbolizing the bond established between China and Australia.
The whole garden
cannot be seen from any point within the garden. The garden has a number of
features including the Dragon Wall symbolizing the bond between New South Wales
and Guangzhou, the Water Pavilion of Lotus Fragrance, the Twin Pavilion and The
Tea House that offers traditional Chinese tea and other refreshments. The
garden is a popular venue for weddings, providing many beautiful backgrounds
for photographs.
