Yes, the District of Darling Harbour reminded me of Chartrons in Bordeaux: a maritime district (old docks, factories, etrepots, shipyards) which has experienced a deep rehabilitation and which was invested by shops, services, restaurants, while maintaining the original spirit of the place. This is Darling Harbour I liked a lot: the architecture of recent buildings, landscaping of pedestrian pathways where he made good flanner. It's a nice place, with even a nice square for children, fountains. And nearby is also the Chinese Garden of Friendship, which is definitely worth a visit.
