24.01.2022 Full Video Here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=druCpK9Qay8 Zhanjiang Friendship Garden I live in the beautiful town of Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Cairns Council has created a Zhanjiang Friendship Garden at Freshwater Lakes in the Cairns Botanic Garden precinct, to celebrate the Sister Cities relationship between Cairns and the Chinese city of Zhanjiang.... The Chinese-style garden, which celebrates the cultural heritage of the Cairns region, was officially opened on 21 November 2015. Situated on the banks of Freshwater Lake, within the Centenary Lakes precinct at Edge Hill, the garden incorporates traditional features in a contemporary style. It pays homage to the unique friendship that is maintained between the cities of Zhanjiang and Cairns. The entry pillars announce arrival and are adorned with graphic motifs of traditional cloud patters of Zhanjiang. Boulders of Chillagoe marble acknowledge the importance of rocks and mountains in Chinese garden culture. A Moon Gate is inscribed with the words Friendship Garden and carved granite dogs at the entrance to the Pavilion are representative of the ancient dog sculptures unique to Zhanjiang. Designers consulted the Sister Cities Advisory Committee, the Consul-General to Mayor Wang Zhongbing, the Zhanjiang Urban Management Bureau, the Cairns and District Chinese Association and the Friends of the Botanic Gardens in preparing the brief. The style of the garden has been influenced by the designers' involvement with the Sino Australian Friendship Garden at Zhanjiang China, Cairns' Sister City a 37ha contemporary style garden with modern Chinese elements that were in turn influenced by an existing 500 year old light house, a modern harbour bridge and an interest to fuse local Cairns cultural icons into the end result a symbolic gesture that supported the 'friendship' between the two cities. The Centenary Lakes are connected to the Flecker Botanic Gardens by a low lying boardwalk through a pristine swamp forest and melaleuca wetlands. The Freshwater Lake here has birds, turtles and many waterlilies and the gardens here have a picnic pavilion and facilities making it the perfect spot for a family picnic. There is also a Saltwater Lake on the other eastern side of the park where you can see mangrove habitats including mud skippers, crabs, saltwater fish and mangrove birds. You can walk from this side of the Centenary Lakes along the timber boardwalk to the Flecker Botanical Gardens.
