Chinese gardens are designed according to set principles.

At the Chinese Garden of Friendship in Darling Harbour, the designer has worked on the Taoist principal of Yin and Yang, the balancing of opposites.

The aim of the gardens is to capture all the elements contained within a natural landscape, you will see mountains, rivers, trees, lakes, valleys and hills all recreated in miniature.

At the gardens you will experience  a balance of the rush and noise of a waterfall as it flows to a quiet lake. The  areas of shade but then contrasted by an area of sunlight. ​
Alyssa's Little Opinion (aged 6 years) -  The  Chinese gardens were  so much fun.  I liked seeing the really big fish, they were amazing I have never seen  fish that big in a lake.

​I really liked climbing the steps  and looking at the waterfall, it was beautiful.

Mitchell's Little Opinion (aged 7 years) -  I loved it all..  You got to see really cool things it was like an adventure as you didn't know where the path would lead you next.
Ellie's Little Opinion (aged 9 years) -  ​  The gardens were pretty and there were so many different types of plants, flowers  and sculptures  to see. I liked how there  were lots of different areas to explore.  
Mum's Big Opinion -   It has been a long time since I  had visited the Chinese Gardens. Once inside  I remembered how beautiful they were and how you can escape to another place. There are so many areas to check out and become lost in.
 
They told us  it could take approx 30 minutes to  complete, the day we visited we were there for just over an hour. The kids enjoyed exploring the different areas and walking up and down the paths and over the bridges. The fun part was trying to find our way back.

​It's a beautiful place to pop in and check out for all ages, as everyone will take away a different  perspective . Personally I could of stayed longer!
