You'd wonder how this garden flourishes in the middle of a city...wow! What a hide away tucked in the middle of the city from some serene thought.
The gardens are breath taking. The water features harbors fish, birds and unexpected Australian lizards that aren't afraid to let you get up close.
The flowers are gorgeous and the photo opps through out this area are expandable (I had a couple photos I took brought to canvas when I returned home.) A good for the soul experience.
Thank you for a WOW feedback! We are so happy that you enjoyed the garden landscape, vegetation and its residents. Hoping to see you soon.
Could never expect that peace and quiet in the centre of Sydney. Wonderful place. Relaxation and peace of mind for a while. Must see!
Thank you, Tomas. We are so grateful for your kind comments and 5*review and so very pleased that you found that peace and quiet inside this beautiful garden.
Best wishes
Needed to spend some time and stumbled upon this wonderful garden just behind Darling Harbour... for entry of just AUD$3 spent over 2 hours in wonderland. Could not take a single step without a new photo op presenting itself. Beautiful buildings, ornamentals, pagodas, gardens, trees, shrubs, bamboo forest, ponds, waterfalls. Overflowing with wildlife, birds, gigantic koi carp, ducks, lizards, and the poshest of Chinese tea rooms. A must visit.
Thank you so very much for such a wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to learn that enjoyed your visit to the Chinese Garden and found the garden so photogenic! Would love to see you again soon.

This was the perfect option for our group since one of us was a bit under the weather. So we took our time and explored all the books and vistas.
Given that you're in the heart of Darling Harbour and the major western distributor roads are all around, the peacefulness and sense of calm is a wonderful relief.
I'll attach pictures since they're going to add so much more than my words.
Go for the 11.30 am koi carp fish feeding. The fish are huge and colourful. There are water and bearded dragons lazing on rocks and turtles sunning themselves on island ricks in the lake.
Built in collaboration with the province of Guangdong, the authenticity is assured and includes some lovely gifts from that sister province of NSW such as the Dragon wall.
You can go and learn Mahjong as well and do dress ups in Chinese imperial costumes.
Altogether 5 stars. Don't miss it. We were there in sunny midwinter. Any season will be beautiful.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT REVIEW!
We love that our visitors share the passion for this beautiful garden that has so much to offer. We agree it is a piece of paradise in a middle of the city that is full of unexpected surprises. Hope you can visit us again soon!

With a modest entrance fee, the visitor can learn part of the Chinese culture and history. This garden also celebrates the friendship between China and Australia. The garden itself, with its beautiful waterfall and thick foliage has become a popular venue for Important functions particularly wedding ceremonies.
Thank you for taking the time writing your feedback - we love hearing of our visitor experiences and very happy that you enjoyed your visit.
Kind regards, FOH team
