Together, these four elements combine to create perfect balance.
Chinese Gardens differ from western-style gardens in that there are no planted flowerbeds or manicured lawns. Instead, wild aspects of nature are recreated in artfully designed landscapes that feature waterfalls, mountains, lakes and forests.
Exploring a Chinese Garden is a journey of discovery: there are many details to be observed and only a part of the Garden is visible at a time. Follow the serpentine walkways as they lead you through private courtyards and traditional pagoda-style pavilions.
The Chinese Garden of Friendship is located at the southern end of Darling Harbour, near the Sydney Entertainment Centre and adjacent to Chinatown. Collapse

Nice place to have a rest throughout a working week. Collapse
