[2025 Haymarket Attraction] Travel Guide for Chinese Garden of Friendship (Updated Mar)

No.2 of Best Things to Do in Haymarket

Experience the adjusting peacefulness of a customary Chinese garden amid your next outing to Australia. The Chinese Garden of Friendship was constructed in 1987 and is situated in Darling Harbor in Sydney. This excellent garden was planned by Sydney's Chinese sister city, Guangdong, in careful detail to reflect the Taoist rationality of Yin and Yang, which stresses agreement between contradicting components and to feature the significance of Qi, the existence compel that exists in each living thing. Highlighting cascades, forests, walkways, mountains, and lakes, this garden summons the sentiment of venturing back so as to encounter a private Chinese garden from 3,000 years prior. The deliberately composed scene and design of this garden makes an air that both mitigates and stimulates.

the most beautiful garden

we went to the Chinese garden of friendship for $12 we were expecting a small little garden but we were wrong, this garden is that big they give you a map when you purchase your ticket 😅 you could easily spend all day there it has the most beautiful scenery and they have a cafe there too where you can get some light snacks and refreshments. we easily spend 3 hours there just walking round the whole garden, taking pictures and having lunch. Definitely recommend going here #travelling #chinesegardenoffriendship

A Peaceful Oasis in the City

#australiatrip Amid the energetic pace of Sydney’s CBD lies the enchanting Chinese Garden of Friendship, a haven of tranquility. Strolling through its lush greenery and intricate pavilions, I felt transported to a world of calm. The sound of trickling waterfalls, the elegance of the koi ponds, and the thoughtful layout created a soothing retreat from the urban bustle. Every turn offered a picturesque moment, perfect for reflection or capturing memories. It’s a serene slice of tradition and beauty amidst modern skyscrapers. If you're seeking peace and a touch of culture, this hidden gem is a must-visit!

Loving this place

I went here with my friend to celebrate our friendship. No really, we actually came here spontaneously. It was a lovely visit, seeing all these natural wonders and religious heritage. I love how I am able to bask myself into the Chinese culture a little bit.#myitinerary #myitinerary #citydaytours

#sydneytrip Located next to Hay Market and Darling Harbour, the Chinese Gardens of Friendship is a wonderful place to explore the style of Chinese Gardens, architecture and some history and artifacts. There is a restaurant inside and during festivals and events such as Chinese New Year, there are activities such as horoscope readings that can be booked. There is a variety of sculptures, buildings, landscaping, fish and fauna, including bonsai trees. There is an entrance fee that helps fund the maintenance of the gardens. You can easily spend several hours walking around the gardens.

Anything travels

Sydney Chinese Garden of Friendship

#2024wish The Sydney Chinese Garden of Friendship in Darling Harbour is like a peaceful and beautiful park. It was made in 1988 to show the friendship between Sydney and Guangzhou. The garden looks like traditional Chinese landscapes with pretty paths, lakes, and special buildings. The plants and decorations make it a calm place to walk and think. You can see fish swimming in the water, and there are events like tea ceremonies that show Chinese traditions. The garden is a nice spot to relax and enjoy nature while also learning a bit about Chinese culture. At times, you may see some wild species here, which is pretty much tranquil to me. It's like a quiet escape into a lovely part of China right in the middle of Sydney.

Chinese Garden of Friendship, Sydney

There is a large Chinese community in Sydney. Just outside the local Chinatown in Darling Harbour, you can visit the Chinese Garden of Friendship. It's a beautiful Chinese style park reminiscent of the gardens of Suzhou. To get in you need to buy a ticket for 8 Australian dollars, half price for children. The park is open every day from 10 to 5. The park itself is beautiful, with lots of plants and flowers everywhere just like most other parks. But what makes this park special are the Chinese features such as the pagoda in the center of the gardens and the rock formations you can find throughout the park.
