Chinese

Chinese settlers arrived in Sydney from 1818 and their compatriots followed, especially after gold was discovered in New South Wales. Despite harrassment from governments and intimidation from other Sydneysiders, Chinese immigrants continued to come and to stay throughout the 19th century, until the relaxation of racist laws in the mid-20th century. With renewed Chinese immigration in the 21st century, Sydney's Chinese community is rapidly changing.

Chinese Garden of Friendship

Built on the site of the NSW Fresh Food and Ice Company, the Chinese Garden was a Bicentennial project, opened in 1988.
