Information
For 17 years the Garden has been a place for contemplation and a haven for Sydney workers to escape the city rush and relax with a jasmine tea in the traditional Chinese Teahouse. Visitors and tourists become immersed in the Garden's rich culture as they wander along winding pathways and graceful bridges, taking in enchanting landscapes, pavillions, waterfalls and lakes.
Initiated by the local Chinese community to celebrate Australia's 1988 Bicentenary and share their heritage, the Chinese Garden of Friendship is the result of a close bond with Sydney's sister city, Guangzhou in Guangdong Province, China. The concept of the Garden lies in its intimate association with nature - seeking the unusual and the unexpected - through four key elements of water, plants, stone and architecture.
The Chinese Garden of Friendship is one of the few traditional public Chinese gardens created outside Asia that offers a rare opportunity to experience century-old traditions of Chinese landscaping, architecture and garden design.
