A visit to the Chinese Garden of Friendship is one of the best things to do in Sydney this summer.

For those seeking clarity on the year ahead, Chinese feng shui master Mina Zheng will expertly guide you through your fortune for the lunar year ahead in private zodiac readings.

The Chinese Garden of Friendship will also host a range of interactive workshops. These include crafts for the little ones, and tea tasting where you can sample a wide range of traditional brews as well as watch a traditional tea ceremony. Demonstrations in calligraphy and Chinese brush painting, as well as the Hopes and Dreams bookmarks station, will be available for the family to enjoy, with guests asked to write down their hopes and dreams for the year ahead and hang them from the garden lattice.

All Lunar activities are free with Garden entry.
