A beautiful calm oasis in the heart of the city. Come here to get some peace and quiet as it was originally intended. It’s a gorgeous Chinese garden surrounded by typically Chinese architecture, with lovely little surprises hidden around every corner including a penjing collection for any fellow bonsai lovers. It only costs $5 to enter, and it’s more than worth the entry fee. Once you make it around to the tea area you can challenge whoever you’re with to a game of chess or checkers, and enjoy a pot of tea.
Fantastic place to visit for relaxation in a hustle and bustle of Dunedin city. We visited on Anzac day, it was sunny and not busy at all. On entry which is $10pp one gets the map of the place with descriptions of areas of the gardens and building. The map can also be reused once you visit comes to an end. We played chess for over an hour. Haven't tried any of the other provided games as had no knowledge of these. But one who does, would find the experience authentic. We relaxed in the sun and generally enjoyed the atmosphere of this unique place, that is unique to the country. There are toilets available so no need to rush your experience if you come by with a book. A cute little shop is located in the gardens corner with plenty of bits and bobs to buy. We hit ourselves two fortune cookies - nice touch. Unique place worth the money and time - make sure to have plenty of the latter .
Beautiful traditional gardens located near the city centre. It is a wonderful place to visit to get away from the noise and busy city life. There are many interesting facts about the gardens' construction and relationship of China and New Zealand.
Very nice place to visit while in Dunedin. During Chinese New Year we got entry for $5 per person 50% discount, plus a free fortune cookie. I think for this price it is good, but at full price I am not sure it is worth it. There is an interesting gate outside which you can see for free. Inside it is a self guided walk around the garden. With the leaflet you can learn about different elements in the garden. There is a small room upstairs near the toilets where you can watch a film about the history behind how Chinese people came to Otago. It takes about 1 hour to look around going at a relaxed pace.
The place is absolutely beautiful and is a cultural enlightening experience. Drinking tea within the tea house is a truly special experience, and it’s nice having authentic Chinese dim sum. Glad they put real ducks this year because there weren’t any last year.
We had a perfect wedding here! The minute we saw Lan Yuan, we decided we would have our wedding here. This is an authentic Chinese garden with great details. The wedding also wouldn't have been perfect without the help from the friendly Garden staff member Theodore. We don't live in Dunedin, therefore it was rather difficult to organise things. However with Theodore's help, the process was seamless, and the wedding was truly perfect.
What a lovely peaceful place in down town Dunedin. The layout takes you down multiple paths, with the sound of a gentle waterall wherever you go. It is so easy to forget that you are in a city.
Beautiful authentic Chinese garden. What a surprise to find a piece of ancient China at the lower end of the South Island of New Zealand. The self-guided audio tour is the best way to take your time and wander around the garden at your own pace.
An excellent museum/Chinese Garden. Well laid out with plenty of information to read. A small place on site to buy tea from. There was a $10 fee for adults which was well worth it. A great place to come to visit. Plenty of history to be found here.
Very quiet oasis in central Dunedin - well worth a visit Lovely cafe with dumplings and tea selection $10 entry fee - a lovely stroll around water features and rocks, ducks and bamboo Great place to bring children to roam - care needed near water - wouldn’t be great for free range toddlers The Chinese gardens adds to the diversity of Dunedin’s history
