Whether you want a leisurely stroll in our peaceful walled garden, or whether you want to experience an intrinsic part of not only Dunedin, but also the wider Otago region's cultural heritage. The Dunedin Chinese Garden offers an experience unique to the Pacific region.
As one of only three authentic Scholars Garden's outside of mainland China anywhere in the world, the Garden was designed and built in Shanghai, before being brought to Dunedin.

The Tea Shop offers a range of goodies, including authentic Chinese Tea, buns and dumplings. Also available are souvenirs including decorative screen, fans, embroideries, toys, bags, purses and adults and children's clothing.
We offer a range of activities within the Garden, including authentic Chinese costumes for visitors to try on, a rapidly expanding collection of books in our Tower Room library, authentic Chinese puzzles and games,
