| | | | Darling Harbour: CHINESE GARDEN OF FRIENDSHIP | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The Chinese Garden is located at the southern end of Darling Harbour. It was designed in China for the Australian Bicentenary in 1988. Make sure you take the time to wander through here at a leisurely pace. It is well worth the entrance fee. Guarding the entrance are 2 Foo-dogs (chinese lions), which have been carved from rare Chinese granite. From here on there is a feeling of peacefulness, you can temporarily forget you're in a large city. The path ways will take you past bonsai plants, ponds full of fish, chinese pavilions, bamboo, rock forms, a waterfall, lotus pond and a dragon wall. Traditional ornate silk gowns are available for hire. take photos or videos using your own camera. Stop for a cup of Chinese tea in the teahouse, or maybe have a bite to eat from their range of dumplings, pastries or cafe-style menu. Browse through the gift shop on your way out.

| | | | Darling Harbour: Entertainment abound at Darling Harbour. | Tip Rating: | | | | |
On my second visit to Sydney we stayed in a serviced apartment a stones throw from Darling Harbour, in the Piermont area. Always plenty of buzz at Darling Harbour with its attractions including the IMAX cinema, huge exhibition centre, Powerhouse Museum, Sydney Acquarium, Maritime Museum, shops and loads of bars and resturants. It is served by the monorail which is a handy way of getting to it from the main shopping area of Sydney, Pitt Street. Having said that it ain't that much of a walk. One of my favourite eating places in Sydney is to be found in Darling Harbour, the Blackbird, scrumtious food at incredibly reasonable prices. It is located in Cockle Bay Wharf Plenty on offer for kids here, they will love the IMAX cinema. A handy thing to know is that the Piermont Bridge Hotel which sits just off Darling Harbour is open 24 hours a day!!! Just incase you fancy a cold one after losing all your money in the huge nearby casino!!!
