Canberra and Sydney

I strongly recommend Sydney. Canberra is located on the shore of Lake Griffin, and is the seat of the Australian government, Parliament and many foreign embassies. Surrounded by forests and full of green, and close to the beautiful countryside, Canberra has become an elegant modern city and enjoys the reputation of "natural capital". Canberra is a unique city, which has not destroyed the nearby environment, but also integrated with the surrounding environment. Although Canberra is full of rural flavor, it is also the seat of the Australian government and one of the major diplomatic centers in the Asia-Pacific region. In a word, Canberra is not only an important capital in the world, but also harmonious with the nearby natural environment. In this city, you won't see abrupt and disorderly urban buildings. What you see is a well-planned, safe and truly aesthetic masterpiece of urban design. Contrary to other big cities decorated with many parks, Canberra is like a city built in a garden. In the center of Australia's largest inland city is an 11-kilometer-long lake, which looks as if it is naturally formed. In fact, the 35-kilometer-long lakeshore was dug out, and this artificial lake is an important part of the design that designer Griffin is proud of. This lake was filled with the Moro River in 1964 and was named in the same year. It divides Canberra into two parts. In the months of spring, summer and autumn, many activities are held by the lake. Canberra has well-known universities such as the Australian National University and the University of Canberra, attracting a large number of overseas students to study every year. Sydney, the capital of New South Wales and the oldest city in Australia, is an important economic, political and cultural center. It was built near Sydney Harbour, one of the most beautiful ports in the world. You can enjoy a 36-degree panoramic view of Sydney from the viewing floor of the Sydney Tower of AMP Central Tower. You can get a closer look at the Sydney Harbour from the Sydney Harbour Bridge or from the Berang Observatory. There are all kinds of entertainment in Sydney. At the Sydney Opera House, you can enjoy performances such as ballet, opera and stage play. Next to Sydney Harbour, next to the circular pier, you can find the rock area. This is where Australia's first European immigrants settled. Here, you can see colorful street scenes and restored elegant buildings. There are various restaurants, entertainment places and various specialty stores in these buildings. In Sydney, you can enjoy food, wine, sightseeing and dining on a cruise ship in Sydney Harbour, shopping, enjoying yourself in the casino and visiting the Sea World Aquarium. In Sydney, you can enjoy endless sunshine, beaches and waves, because you can reach the beautiful Pacific coast not far from the city by car.

It is built in a section of Sydney Harbour that extends into the sea, facing the water in the east, west and north, and facing the Botanical Garden in the south. Sydney Opera House In order to build this opera house, Sydney held an international architectural design competition in 1955, and selected the design of Danish architect J Wu Zhong from 233 schemes. In 1966, Wu Zhong resigned as the chief architect of the theater, and the rest of the interior design was completed by Australian architects. The Opera House broke ground in 1959 and was completed in 1973. The Sydney Opera House has a total building area of 88,258 square meters, including a 2,69-seat grand concert hall, a 1,547-seat opera hall, a theater for more than 5 people and a small concert hall. In addition, there are rehearsal hall, reception hall, exhibition hall, recording hall, drama library and various ancillary rooms (such as dining room and sales department), with more than 9 rooms, which can accommodate more than 6, people at the same time. The appearance of Sydney Opera House is three groups of huge shells, which stand on the pedestal of a cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure with a length of 186 meters from north to south and a width of 97 meters from east to west. The first group of shells is on the west side of the lot, with four pairs of shells arranged in a string, three pairs facing north and one pair facing south, and the inside is a big concert hall. The second group is on the east side of the lot, roughly parallel to the first group, with the same form and slightly smaller scale, and the opera hall is inside. The third group, the smallest in their southwest, consists of two pairs of shells, with a restaurant inside. Other rooms are cleverly arranged in the base. The entrance of the whole building complex is at the southern end, with 97 meters wide steps. The vehicle entrance and parking lot are located under the big steps. Wu Zhong's participation in the design competition was too simple, and later he encountered a series of complex and difficult technical topics in the project. For example, at first, those huge shells were supposed to be reinforced concrete shell structures. After in-depth study, it was found that each shell can only be divided into strips of reinforced concrete ribs, and then prefabricated in sections before being combined into a whole. In order to reduce the difficulty of construction, all the shells are changed to the same curvature, so that each shell is equivalent to a part of the surface of a sphere with an imaginary radius of 76 meters. It took eight years to study and design the structure of these shells, and the construction took more than three years. The project budget is 7 million US dollars, and the actual cost is 12 million US dollars. Sydney Opera House is a successful music and drama performance building with perfect equipment and excellent use effect. Those huge white shells near the water surface are like sails on the sea, and like clusters of blooming flowers, which are graceful and bright against the blue sky, blue sea and green trees. This building has been regarded as the symbol of Sydney. The Central Coast is about 1.5 hours' drive from downtown Sydney, where the environment is elegant, the air is fresh, there are soft beaches, clear waters and charming bays, and visitors can enjoy fishing, swimming, canoeing and sailing. Transportation: Take the train from Central Station in downtown Sydney, and get off at Gosford Station. Take a one-and-a-half-hour canoe tour of Hawkesbury River. The water is clear, the scenery is infinite, and there are more seagulls than people. It is a big oyster and crab breeding area, and you can also enjoy fishing and delicious seafood meals. Glenworth Valley Outdoor Adventures's riding and driving four-wheel drive are the biggest features of Glenworth Valley. There are more than 2 tame fine horses to choose from. Under the guidance of the tour guide, visitors can drive slave horses to stroll around the magnificent 3-acre farm in the canyon. Four-wheel drive is another famous activity here. The small four-wheel drive tram, which is easy to operate and flexible, gallops down the mountain, which is very comfortable.

The biggest reason is that Sydney is the largest city in Australia with a floating population of 5 million in a broad sense. Although Canberra is the capital, its population is only 6,, which is the ninth most populous city in Australia. In addition, Canberra was only built in the middle of the last century, and the planning is clear. Of course, Canberra is clean. 2. In fact, there is nothing interesting in Canberra. Compared with Sydney, it is simply a rural village! ! After studying there for one year, my younger brother transferred to another school. If I want to go to Canberra, I just want to see the government buildings near the city. If I want to go to Sydney to play, it is enough to bring 1, to 2, if you don't want to buy anything (it may not work! ), if you want to go shopping, don't go if you don't have 5 thousand dollars, or you will feel uncomfortable if you want to buy it and don't have enough money. There are many places to play in Sydney, so I suggest the landlord go to Baidu to search for a travel guide, which makes it clear. If lz wants to have friends, let friends take you to play.
