"Koi carp swimming in lakes, weeping willows reflected in water, and ornate pavilions perched on rocky hills … you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve been whisked to China in this little pocket of Sino paradise. Set between entertainment quarter Darling Harbour and nearby Chinatown, the walled Chinese Garden of Friendship was built to symbolize Sydney’s friendship with sister city Guangzhou in Guangdong, to mark Australia’s bicentennial in 1988. There’s a small entry fee to discover this romantic retreat, modeled after classical Ming Dynasty gardens." - Sophie Davies
