AUTUMN

A glimpse into autumn. Take a stroll through an autumnal forest lit with hundreds of lights and projections in the season’s colours: an immersive universe in which you step into a multicolor tapestry of falling leaves.
AUTUMN

WINTER

The landscape is blanketed in white, taken over by ice, and the temperature drops to make way for snowflakes, shining crystals and sublime winter colours.
WINTER

SPRING

Suddenly, the flowers emerge from hiding, the grass turns green, and nature awakens from its slumber. The cycle of life begins once again and nature itself is reborn. Before our very eyes, our surroundings hatch and burst into colour… it’s spring!
SPRING

SUMMER

In summer, hearts catch fire. The sun envelops you in its warm rays, transporting you to arid lands. Life is in full swing and the warmth stirs all forms of life; the world is full of light, beauty and vitality, and animals bask in this moment of respite.

Nature Illuminated - Sydney Chinese Garden

Location

Pier Street, Darling Harbour NSW 2000, Cnr Harbour St. Australia

The Chinese Garden of Friendship was built to symbolise the friendship between Sydney and the city of Guangzhou, and was formally opened as part of Australia’s Bicentennial Celebrations on 17 January 1988. In a collaborative effort, the Garden was designed by Chinese landscape architects and built by Australian craftsmen and specialists. Unlike western-style gardens, there are no formally laid out flowerbeds or manicured lawns; instead, wild aspects of nature are recreated in landscapes that feature waterfalls, mountains, lakes, and forests.
The garden follows the Taoist principles of 'Yin-Yang', the opposing yet complementary and balanced forces, and ‘Wu-Xing’, the five elements or phases—wood, fire, earth, metal and water. These principles also stress the importance of Qi, the central force of life and energy. When combined perfectly, the five elements form a fluid and nurturing environment. Everything in the garden has been carefully chosen and meticulously placed in order to incorporate the five elements, achieve a balance of Yin and Yang, and promote the flow of Qi, thus creating a sense of harmony and balance that is further enhanced by the beautiful lights of Nature Illuminated.
