Chinese Garden of Friendship

Tucked away in the bustle of Darling Harbour, Sydney, the Chinese Garden of Friendship is like stepping into another world, one filled with winding paths, koi-filled ponds and beautiful bamboo. Built in 1988 as a gesture of goodwill between Sydney and Guangzhou, China, it is a rare slice of calm in the city. You can walk past waterfalls, under willow trees, and into quiet pavilions that feel a million miles from the skyscrapers just beyond the walls. It’s not just a garden but also a reminder that peace can grow right in the middle of chaos.
