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!

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.

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!

Sydney Hyde Park is a park that combines natural scenery, urban architecture and historical culture. There are historical buildings such as the Anzac War Memorial, Archibald Fountain and Notre Dame Cathedral, as well as natural beauty and panoramic views of the city in the park.
Hyde Park, located in the center of Sydney, is a quiet oasis hidden in the hustle and bustle of the city. Walking in the park, it seems that time has slowed down, making people feel a different kind of romance and tranquility.
The soft light in the early morning or evening is the best time to take pictures of natural scenery and architecture. Walking to the fountain in the center of the park, you can see colorful flowers extending to Notre Dame Cathedral, and dense trees dotted around, making this ancient and solemn building look particularly gentle and harmonious under the scattered sunlight. It's like stepping into Monet's oil painting world, the scenery is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.
Australia Hyde Park is a central park in Sydney and a good place for local residents to relax. It is shaded by green trees, full of flowers, fresh air, and suitable for all ages. It is also the starting point for walking tours of Sydney. From here, walking north, you can visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Mrs. Macaulay's Chair, Governor's House, Royal Botanic Gardens, and Sydney Opera House.

Mrs. Macaulay's Chair is really famous because you can take photos of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Steel Bridge at the same time near it. It is a good location for taking pictures. But when I went there this afternoon, I found that it was not right. It should be early in the morning or after 6 pm when the lights on the steel bridge were on. This afternoon, I went to the opposite Hyatt Hotel to check in. There was a super cruise ship that completely blocked the opera house. It was almost 5 o'clock and it was dangerous to see a large ship slowly passing the Sydney Bridge.
Mrs. Macquarie's Chair
Mrs. Macquarie's Chair is located on a peninsula at the northeast end of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, the capital of New South Wales. It is carved on a huge exposed sandstone. The peninsula itself is named Mrs. Macquarie's Point. Mrs. Macquarie's Chair is not actually a chair, but an open-air rock carved into the shape of a chair with three steps. It was carved by craftsmen in 1810 to commemorate Mrs. Macquarie.

This is an amusement park that the whole family can enjoy. It may not be as big as the world's famous amusement parks, but if you want a classic and charming place, you can make great memories here!!
Luna Park is a very attractive place. Many of the facilities in the park are very simple. When I visited here, I saw some flowering plants, but I couldn’t name them. The colorful flowers looked very bright.

Sydney Harbor, also known as Port Jackson, is located at the mouth of the Parramatta River, facing the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Parramatta River 20 kilometers to the west, and Sydney's most prosperous CBD center to the north and south. Therefore, Sydney Harbor is one of the world's city ports. Therefore, Sydney Harbor is also one of the best viewpoints to appreciate the city scenery of Sydney, where you can cruise in the clear water of Sydney Harbor and look out to both sides. The Circular Quay in Sydney Harbor is the offshore center for ferries and cruise ships. People can choose ferries and cruise ships of various grades and voyages to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sydney, the world's largest natural harbor. Of course, this has also become the most prosperous tourist distribution center.
The famous Sydney Harbour in Sydney, Australia, has two famous landmarks, the Sydney Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. The best way to enjoy it is by boat. You can take a public transportation ferry or rent a yacht. You can see these two iconic buildings of Sydney up close on the sea. To the east is the South Pacific Ocean. The water here is azure blue. It is a must-see attraction in Sydney.

- Magnificent views of the Harbour Bridge and water. - Great picnic and photo spots. - Free entrance to Sydney Observatory and Space Exhibition. - Clean toilets at Sydney Observatory. - Give yourself 1-2 hours for a leisurely stroll. Tips on how to get here: 1. Take the train to Circular Quay. 2. Walk towards Argyle Street in The Rocks. 3. 2 ways to get to Sydney Observatory from Argyle Street: (a) just before the tunnel and walk up the stairs at night, or (b) walk through the tunnel and turn left onto Watsons Road.
The lawn outside the planetarium has a beautiful view of the Sydney Bridge in the other direction! It is also very quiet and suitable for picnics. The scenery is very good:) If you are interested in astronomy, the exhibition in the planetarium should be quite good! There are many related equipment and introductions! Even if you are not interested in astronomy, I recommend it to see the scenery!
