CHINESE GARDEN OF FRIENDSHIP

PART 2:

There were people sitting around reading a book, listening to music and just relaxing, making the most of their time.

I managed to join in on a tour at the gardens which made me appreciate the garden more and helped me gain more of an insight into the history of the garden.

Loved this place, would recommend going and it is only a small fare to enter.

CHINESE GARDEN OF FRIENDSHIP

PART 1:

The Chinese Garden of Friendship is located in Chinatown and modelled after the popular private gardens of of the Ming Dynasty. The day I visited the gardens I was amazed by the Chinese heritage and culture I experienced.

The Garden symbolises the welcoming of Australian-Chinese communities into New South Wales and Australian society. It represents the successful collaboration of Cantonese and Sydney designers, technicians and tradesmen and the transfer of traditional skills and techniques.

AUBURN BOTANIC GARDENS

PART 2:

Unfortunately I was not allowed to take photos with my camera which I found out once I had arrived so my phone was a back up for this day. I still managed to get some pretty good shots and really enjoyed myself. The day was quiet with little to no people at the time I went which made it even more relaxing. I never would have imagined a place like this to be so close to where I live.

AUBURN BOTANIC GARDENS

PART 1:

The Auburn Botanic Gardens are located in Auburn NSW and covers an area of 9.7 hectares. There are so many attractions in this one location including the lakes, waterfall, bridges and flowers.

From the research I did before I attended the gardens, I saw that Cherry blossoms were a symbol for the site, yet due to the season there were none to be seen. This did not make the experience any less enjoyable but they would have been nice to see.
