It's a very worthwhile place to visit. It takes only 20 minutes by boat from Circular Quay and the scenery along the way is beautiful. The zoo is very large and you can see koalas and kangaroos up close, and there are also animal shows.
A must-see attraction in Sydney! Take a direct ferry to see emus, koalas, kangaroos, and other Australian animals and various lizards. Remember to book a day in advance to take a close-up photo with the koalas. Of course, you can also watch from outside the fence without booking.

It's a truly worthwhile place to visit. Hearing Mozart's masterpieces at the Sydney Opera House was a real treat! "Carmen" was also playing, so taking photos during the performance was forbidden, so I only managed one during the curtain call. The performance, including the intermission, lasted over three hours.
This is really worth recommending. I learned a lot about the construction history of the Sydney Opera House. I have awe for the designers and builders. It's amazing. It is worthy of being a treasure of human civilization! I hope to enjoy a performance in the opera house next time if I have time!

How to live? You have to take a ride when you come, but it's just an ordinary cable car. It's very steep but the speed is very slow, and you won't feel weightless. It is recommended to play this project first after you come. After going down, you can take a walk on the mountain trail. It will be very hard if you don't do it.
Blue Mountains National Park is a natural wonder. Eucalyptus trees in the park release gases to form blue mist. The Three Sisters Peak, Ginolan Cave and other magnificent landscapes are also rich in Aboriginal cultural heritage. The scenery here varies in seasons, and there are many ways to play, such as hiking, sightseeing and cable car rides. It can make people feel the beauty of pure nature away from the hustle and bustle.

雖然行程包括自助午餐，但只是提供少量餐點，食物質素一般，建議上船前先進食。因為觀鯨過程比較大浪，船公司有提供暈浪丸，值得讚賞。最後我們也觀看到鯨魚，非常高興。
Walk to Pier 6 and you will see the store. It is very convenient to scan the code to get the ticket.
You will most likely see whales, but whether you can see them clearly depends on luck. The two-hour boat ride is a bit dizzy, but it is worth it to enjoy the Sydney sea view along the way.

This place is value for money. We spent around 2 hours there and watched lots of marine animals. Although it’s not a big place, the arrangement inside is pretty good and every tourist has got chances to experience.
Works very well. Highly recommended for those who want to cover multiple activities within a day. It works as easy, just scanning the QR code at the tourist locations. Thank you.

Very simple, you can go in directly with the redemption code. The entrance is on the 5th floor of the mall, and you can take the escalator up. After going up, the sightseeing floor is on the 4th floor, and you can't go outdoors. It is recommended to come in after 4 o'clock and leave after watching the night view. Some of the glass above is not very clean, resulting in poor shooting effects. You can experience delayed shooting. Some buildings seriously block the view of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.
Sydney Tower is one of the best places to enjoy the panoramic view of Sydney. Standing on the top of the tower, you can see the beauty of the entire city, from the Harbour Bridge to the Opera House. I especially like the night when the lights are flashing and the city is dotted with stars. There is a transparent floor in the tower. Standing on it and looking down, your heartbeat will speed up.

Great venue for where it is. Got to see croc feeding time too!
It is more affordable to buy admission tickets on Ctrip. The park is compact and interesting, suitable for families with children. Moreover, the zoo is near Darling Harbour in the city, which is a good choice for tourists with limited time.

Darling Harbour in Australia is really beautiful and worth a visit. The tour guide publishes the perfect itinerary every day and reminds us patiently every day. It is really convenient for a family to go out with a personal butler. It is more comfortable to have a small group with fewer people than a large group.
A romantic landmark that you must check in at Sydney! Darling Harbour (Darling Harbour) is a textbook interpretation of the harbor style!
Strolling along King Street Wharf during the day, yachts dance with seagulls, and palm leaves sway in the breeze. Every shot is postcard-like. Here you can not only see the dreamy underwater tunnel of the Sydney Aquarium, the superstar interaction of Madame Tussauds, but also the audio-visual feast brought by the largest IMAX theater in the Southern Hemisphere.
Crossing the Pyrmont Bridge, the retired warships and submarines of the National Maritime Museum instantly take you back to the Age of Navigation, while the Chinese Garden on the other side of the river amazes the eye with its winding oriental aesthetics.
If you have plenty of time and have children, you can also take your children for a walk in the nearby children's tourist facilities!
PS: It's another flavor to come here to see the night view at night, and there will be fireworks shows on certain holidays!

You can get on and off the bus at will within 24 hours, from the time you get on the bus on the first day to the time on the second day, not just on the day. The red and blue buses need to be arranged at the right time. There are no buses at Bondi Beach around 4 o'clock.
Big Bus is very cost-effective. I spent a day on the red and blue lines in the hot summer, and basically visited all the famous attractions in Sydney. You can download a Big Bus APP to find the boarding and alighting stations very conveniently.

The Harbour Bridge is worth a visit, it's free. Walking on the bridge, you can overlook the Sydney Opera House from afar, and you can also overlook the yachts and cruise ships shuttling across the blue sea under the bridge. It's very pleasant!
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is definitely a must-see for your travels or life in Sydney! The views of the bridge are breathtaking, day and night. Walk over the bridge and you will have a spectacular view of the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour and the city. Moreover, the scenery that you enjoy at different times is also unique. During the day, Sydney under the blue sky and white clouds is particularly charming; at night, the night view of the lights is even more beautiful and suffocating, and it is not enough to shoot! If you enjoy hiking or cycling, then walking or cycling on the Sydney Harbour Bridge is also a great choice. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and exercise, and get two shots at it! The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a place to visit and highly recommend it to everyone! If you haven’t been there yet, then you must find time to feel the beauty of the bridge!
