Small yet delightful creation of Chinese Garden. You feel like you are in China when inside. Warm & cozy wooden interiors of the rooms create a special vibe. There are many beauty spots to shoot a pic. Couldn't imagine such a creation in Dunedin. Congratulations
Beautiful Chinese gardens. Lots of bonsai trees that are kept trimmed and looking good. A small gift shop and tea rooms. Entrance fee is a bit pricey. Staff friendly and helpful.
A stunning traditional Chinese garden and it every turn a perfect photo opportunity. I ended up taking hundreds of photos of this beautiful garden and it was well worth the small entry fee. It is amazing how quiet and peaceful it is within the garden even though you ride in the city next to the train station. We felt transported to a different world and really enjoyed learning about the Chinese heritage of Otago. The most fascinating fact we learned was of the custom-designed roof tiles I think they were about 38,000 of them that were made in China with a unique pattern to these gardens and if each individual tile was laid side-by-side they would stretch from Dunedin to Christchurch. Worth noting that dogs are not allowed, we couldn’t find this information anywhere online before going so thought best to add into our review here as it may help someone else.
This was an interesting and unusual find in the middle of Dunedin.nnChinese people played an important role in the development of the goldfields and have been part of the community in Dunedin for a long time. The gardens were developed to tell their story and to develop links with China. They were handed over to the City Council following their development.nnThe gardens are fairly compact, with a lot of nooks and crannies to explore and some interesting stories about the attention that went into their planning and development. I imagine a second and subsequent visits would find something new.nnWe had some nice tea, from an interesting selection, at a table in the garden room.
Stunning peaceful space. Easy to wander, explore and learn for an hour at least. Giftshop and teahouse on site as well.
