At Darling Harbour there's the Chinese Garden, the Sydney Powerhouse and National Maritime Museums, Sydney Aquarium, Sydney Wildlife World, convention centre, exhibition halls, promenades, pubs, restaurants, shops, ferries, sailing ships.

The Sydney casino, Star City, is nearby if you want to have a go at roulette or blackjack. The Sydney Entertainment Centre is also within spitting distance.

At dusk or ealy evening, you might want to return to Chinatown if you fancy a Chinese meal, or to some other restaurant in the area.

And night falls on the city

Close to Chinatown is that section of downtown George Street that is cinema row. Check out what's screening and, if you wish, catch the latest movies in Sydney.

Or if you had booked an opera seat for the night, you can then proceed to the Opera House by bus or taxi.

Failing which, if you have time to spare, you can always whizz through the Cross for an altogether different kind of nightlife.
