Sydney Chinese Garden Free Entry
To celebrate Darling Harbour 21st anniversary celebrations, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority will open the doors to the Sydney Chinese Gardens of Friendship for FREE on Sunday 25 October 2009.
The Open Day will commemorate the Garden’s anniversary and the close bond which was forged between the local Chinese community and Sydney’s sister city Guangzhou in Guangdong Province, China to share their heritage in Australia through a garden of friendship. The Garden, designed and built by Chinese landscape architects and gardeners, opened in 1988 as part of Australia’s Bicentenary. The Garden 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.
