What an AMAZING place and a WONDERFUL tour experience! Definitely the best travel experience in New Zealand ever! An absolute hidden gem in Dunedin, quite possibly in New Zealand. πππ No kidding!
Upon entering, you will pleasantly find yourself in a breath-taking, mesmerizing world exotically decorated by beautiful and artistic antique architecture with elaborate, hearty designs vividly displaying fantastic Chinese historical and cultural symbols and meanings, all of which contributing to an unbelievably harmonious vibe. Equally important was the super friendly and heart-warming service kindly and generously offered by Sky and Fei. Thank you so much, Sky, for your great help, support and service, which has made my first visit here a fond memory for the rest of my life. Thanks heaps, Fei, for your great help with visiting the library and the tea house.
Will definitely come visit again with family and...

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...

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 couldnβt find this information anywhere online before going so thought best to add into our review here as it may help...
