In the 10th year since Harbin and Niigata became sister cities, both sides built together this Japanese style friendship garden in the Sun Island Park which is located on the northern bank of the Songhua River. Covering an area of 3.7hectares, the garden was built with a total investment of 4.2 million yuan.
The scenery in the garden is composed of artificial lakes and artificial hills. There are 5
inter-linked lakes around the Sun Lake. On the lake are Sister Bridge, Pavilion Bridge, and
White Jade Bridge. The elegant willows, the picturesque pavilions and bridges as well as
their reflections in the water have constituted most beautiful scenery. There is a three-layer waterfall built in the Sun Hill. The crystal clear water curtain hangs down and its sound can be heard from afar. This scenery is the Clear Spring and Flying Waterfall. Harbin and Niigata Friendship Garden
