Chinatown and Darling Harbour
Vibe: A heady mix of Asian culture, festivals, food and fun
What’s not to love in Chinatown
- The yum cha extreme-eating experience. Stack bamboo baskets and gamble on chicken feet, tripe, dumplings and fluffy steamed buns
- Belting it out in a private karaoke room, and then soothing the vocal chords with an early morning bowl of soup at BBQ King or Golden Century.
- Bargain lanterns, clothes, souvenirs and vegetables at Sydney’s favourite flea market, Paddy’s Market.
- Discounted designer goods at Market City and cute Asian fashions in Chinatown’s many thumbnail-sized boutiques.
- Installations and video work where Australian and Asian art converge at Gallery 4A.
And in Darling Harbour
- Weird and wonderful sea life seen from underwater tunnels at Sydney Aquarium.
- Rubbing the enormous Buddha's belly as you enter Chinta Ria-Temple of Love for Malaysian curries and cuisine.
- Wandering amid woven fish baskets and colorful paintings at Gavala, Sydney's only Aboriginal owned and operated gallery.
- Peaceful gardens and jasmine tea at the Chinese Garden of Friendship.
- See Australia 's wildlife – by the harbour – at Chinese Garden of Friendship.
- Alfresco tables, DJs and huge screens for sports lovers at Cargo Bar, and the stunning views from Pontoon Bar.
