The Sydney Opera House is a local landmark and the pride of local people. The Sydney Opera House, which lasted more than 50 years and is still known as an architectural masterpiece, must be an indispensable photo during your trip to Australia. The Sydney Opera House is backed by the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney and adjacent to the Harbor Bridge. It seems as if the entire building is about to sail out to sea, majestic and exquisite.

1. If the Sydney Bridge and the Sydney Opera House are shot in the same frame, the effect will be better;

2. The Sydney Opera House, brightly lit at night, has a unique flavor.

Blue|

Highlights: Praise of the Queen of England, Australia's most spectacular scenery, World Heritage.

If you love nature, you must visit the Blue Mountains. If you are not interested in the scenery, come and take a look, maybe you will fall in love with it. All seasons are beautiful here. In spring, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and crabapples are in full bloom. In autumn, maple leaves, birch trees, and pond cedars are all dyed. Even the Queen of England personally praised "This is the most beautiful place in the world"

Recommended way to visit the Blue Mountains:

Blue Mountain Adventure Bus: The bus passes through the Blue Mountains and Kabatong , Rolla and other 29 destinations. Frequent and relatively free along the way.

Blue Mountain Funicular: The Glass Cabin Funicular in the Blue Mountains. Along the way, you can visit the Three Sisters, Orphan Rock, Solitary Mountain, and Katoomba Falls, and you can see the famous attractions at a glance.

Blue Sky Car Viewing: The glass-floor cable car shuttles over the cliffs of the observation deck and the rainforest, passing through the spectacular Jamison Valley. The ancient and magnificent rainforest is the icing on the cake. Excellent visual and psychological stimulation.

Walking in the Blue Mountains: This is the closest way to nature. Walk into the Blue Mountains yourself and feel the Blue Mountains. Go to those famous scenic spots by yourself and see different scenery every step of the way.

Address: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 2000

Business hours: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Transportation reference:

Sydney City - Blue Mountains

1. By train, take the train from platforms 12 and 13 of Sydney Central Station, it will take about 2 hours;

2. By self-driving, you must have an international driving license . If you can get used to foreign driving habits, you can choose to drive by yourself.

Walk along Parramatta Road and the M4;

3. Bus, take the Citylink bus that runs regularly between Sydney and the Blue Mountains every day.

Usually, transportation in big cities is complicated. It is recommended to choose a one-day trip to the Blue Mountains, and pay for the transportation and cable car tickets for the attractions together. Even overall, it may cost less than going by yourself.

Blessed Virgin Mary's Cathedral

Highlights: Australia's largest, most beautiful, beautifully designed and oldest building.

Whether you are religious or not, this place is worth a visit. Notre Dame de Paris has a long history, and the accumulation of time has given it a different kind of charm. Gothic architecture is truly photogenic and its beauty remains breathtaking even after all this time. It is the spiritual home of believers, but does not mind exploration by non-believers.

Traffic problems in Sydney Cairns

1. Plane: Required Asking which means of transportation is the fastest and most convenient, plane! airplane! airplane! The whole journey takes about 2 hours (due to the 1 hour time difference, the timetable seems to be 3 hours), and the price starts at 1,000 RMB.

2. Train: The Australia-India-Pacific train runs along the coastline from Sydney to Cairns. It's one of the top ten luxury trains in the world, so it's not cheap. The whole journey takes three days and two nights.

3. Self-driving: The total distance is 2,476 kilometers and takes at least 28 hours. Although the scenery along the way is very healing, even if you don’t talk about the problem of finding the road, driving for a long time is still very tiring.

To sum up, I personally recommend airplanes.

Cairns

Sunny beach bikini, this is a place where the pace of life is slow and leisurely. There are no high-rise buildings here. People stay with nature, chatting and sunbathing in open-air pubs in the afternoon. It's best known as one of the gateways to the Great Barrier Reef, as well as its iconic hot air balloons and, yes, the Gold Coast. What is a holiday? I think Keynes is the best explanation.

State name: Queensland

Best season: April to November. The temperature is high and comfortable and mild, making it suitable for participating in various water sports and diving.

Reference number of days: 2 days

Representative attractions: Great Barrier Reef, Gold Coast, Sky City, Kuranda Rainforest.

Great Barrier Reef

Most people come to Cairns to see this interesting landscape - the Great Barrier Reef. As the world's largest coral reef, it stretches for more than 2,000 kilometers along the Queensland coastline and is home to 1,500 species of brightly colored tropical fish. The sea water is clear and pure, and the bottom of the sea is even more colorful. If you're interested in taking a helicopter ride to unlock it from the air, you'll get an even more spectacular view of the Great Barrier Reef.

Transportation reference:

1. Hotel reservation. Some hotels will provide cruise company information and can help you contact and make reservations. And some cruise companies will also provide pick-up and drop-off services, which is more convenient;

2. Buy at the pier. There are many cruise lines to choose from at the terminal. Basically, there is no need to buy tickets, but the price is not cheap;
