13D12N Australia Trip: Chinese Garden of Friendship, Darling Harbour (part 1)
Sydney has its own garden surrounded by concrete jungle and skyscrapers and it lies right at the prime area of Darling Harbour. The garden is themed like a traditional peaceful Chinese garden and it is named the Chinese Garden of Friendship.
Admission to the garden is not free though. But I suppose it is somewhat reasonable at AUD 6 for adults. You can get cheaper price for family, students, pensioners or seniors.
The Chinese garden is walled in all its sides so there is only one entrance/ exit door. The garden is filled with hidden pathways too and to be honest it is kinda fun to find your way in the garden. Our journey starts with the wall installation depicting two dragons fighting over an orb. A dragon ball?
You will be immediately led to a stone pathway surrounded by various green plantation.
Once you come out from the pathway, you will be greeted by a serene koi pond with a pavilion at the opposite side with office buildings on the backdrop. A superb escapade for the office workers I must say, if they can find time to take a stroll in the garden during lunch time.
