#NovemberTravelSupport I set off without a plan, rushed to the airport, and started my trip after only paying for my flight and accommodations! As soon as I arrived at Sydney Airport, I sat in the arrivals hall and spent 20 minutes purchasing my SIM card before heading out! I chose the YHA Harbour female-only quadruple room with a view of the Opera House. Once I arrived, I sat on the bed and opened Google Maps. I decided on a nearby attraction and headed to Observatory Hill, a three-minute walk away. I was so impressed by the crowds, but I decided to return the next day, so I just walked towards the Opera House. I saw a gelato place and had some, and as I walked towards Chinatown, I saw a sleepy pub and the laid-back atmosphere of the people seemed incredibly enjoyable. On my last day, I felt like I had some time, so I booked a zoo and Blue Mountains tour the day before. I met my roommate, whom I'd become close with, and we bought groceries at the supermarket and cooked together. It was a romantic trip of a lifetime! 🌟No planning is the best🌟

#January travel support event #Overseas travel #Australia #Sydney #Travel destination recommendation #Bondi Beach #Manly Beach #Opera House 1. Bondi Beach The already famous Bondi Beach! If you eat mapo gelato and cross the road to take a picture with the fields and the sea in the background, it will come out really well👍 2. Manly Beach I personally liked Manly Beach better If you go to the right, there is a small beach called Shelly Beach, which is good for snorkeling, and if you go to the left, there is a wormhole, which is so pretty..♡ 3. Sydney Observatory If you come to Sydney, you absolutely must visit the observatory! It was a hundred or a thousand times more impressive than the opera..! It's really nice to spread out a mat and read a book or listen to music I recommend watching the sunset too! ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡSuburbsㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ 4. Ulleung-gong Kiama The first photo is Ulleung-gongㅎㅎ It takes about an hour and a half by train, but it's okay when you have plenty of time~ I saw the fountain? and walked along the trail, and the natural grass and fields were so pretty that it was a perfect photo spotㅎㅎ For reference, I recommend Kiama on cloudy days.. It's even prettier when the waves are strong 5. Palm Beach I recommend this if you have a car The color of the sea is really pretty, and it was a bit difficult to get up, but... The two beaches that you can see at a glance are fantastic.. I only saw it briefly, but I was satisfiedㅎㅎ 6. Shelly Beach near Gosford, not next to Manly It's a bit far to go by train, but it's really pretty!! Especially the sea where you feed the pelicans is really crazy... The sea is right next to India, so foreigners jump right in and swim, and the depth gets deeper and then the other side is another island? so it gets lower again, which is so amazing And because it's nearby, it definitely feels more foreign! + Other places: I enjoyed Port Stephens and Blue Mountains so much that I went there again when I visited with my family ㅎㅎ

When Korea is summer, Australia is winter, and when Korea is winter, Australia is summer! I traveled in January, and I traveled during Australia's summer-autumn weather : ) 1️⃣ Port Stephens🛹 When you think of Sydney, you can't miss sand sledding in the desert! It's located on the outskirts, so you can usually go there by taking a tour! The sand sticks to your skin a lot, and the sunlight is strong, so sunglasses and sunscreen are essential 🕶️ The desert is so wide that you can take a solo photo, so definitely visit 🙌 2️⃣ Wild Kangaroo Park🦘 A place where you can meet wild kangaroos included in the Blue Mountains tour! The thing I wanted to do the most in Sydney was meet kangaroos~ Kangaroos running around and resting are so cute💕 ❌It's dangerous to touch or get too close to wild kangaroos! 3️⃣ Blue Mountains Kings Tableland⛰️ The Blue Mountains is the most popular tourist attraction when you search for Sydney!

The Opera House at night and during the day feels different, so I definitely recommend seeing it during the day and at night🙇🏻‍♀️ #Overseas travel#Australia travel#Sydney#Opera House#Blue Mountains#Port Stephens#Sydney Observatory#Overseas travel recommendations

Skyline Magic on Observatory Hill 🌞📸✨ Observatory Hill serves up panoramic city views with the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House as iconic backdrops—soak up Sydney’s urban energy from a lush, sun-drenched lawn! 🧭 Recommended Route: Start at Observatory Hill Park around 10am to catch golden morning rays. Wander the grassy slopes for north-facing angles—these frame the cityscape, bridge, and Opera House all in one snap! Be sure to pause by the heritage Observatory building for more classic shots. 🏞️ Must-Do Experiences: - Spread out on the grass with a camera in hand (your ideal spot shown in your photo!) - Grab a picnic and watch ferries glide below the Harbour Bridge. - Take a short stroll along the nearby Hickson Road Reserve for more waterfront vantage points. 📷 Insta-Worthy Photo Spots: - Grass foreground with the Harbour Bridge looming behind: perfect for people-in-the-frame, city-in-the-back shots. - Observatory tower framing all those modern Sydney silhouettes. - Wide shots during sunny conditions to highlight the sparkling water and bold architecture (personal pro tip: sunny days provide the richest blues!). 💡 Practical Visiting Tips: Open year-round, 10:00–17:00. Early morning or late afternoon delivers the best light for photography and fewer crowds. BYO snacks and drinks—facilities on the hill are minimal. ⚠️ Precautions: Bring sunscreen and a hat—the open grass gets intense sun. Watch steep paths if carrying gear; opt for comfy shoes. #Sydney #ObservatoryHill #HarbourBridgeViews #UrbanPhotographer #AustraliaViews

About a 20-minute ferry ride from Korea, Sydney, Australia, brings you to Manly Beach. It's a clean and beautiful beach near Sydney.

Sydney has always been one of my favorite cities and no matter how many times I’ve visited, Darling Harbor is a must-see landmark that can’t be missed. This time I stayed at the W Hotel Sydney, the biggest selling point is definitely the beautiful view and location — the hotel is right next to Darling Harbor, whether at lunch or night, the sea view right outside the door, and one foot walk to the city center and major popular attractions, really save travel time. Landing at the W Hotel is convenient for the whole holiday. The hotel is located at 31 Wheat Rd, quiet and busy, with a host of restaurants and shops downstairs. Want to buy something or find a place for dinner, no hassle at all, two minutes walk away. For The Rocks, the Opera House or even the Aquarium, walk all the way along Darling Harbor and take pictures while walking. The harbor lights up at night. The room design is chic enough and modern enough, the bedding is comfortable, super suitable for adequate rest. With Darling Harbor and Sydney skyline right outside the window, the night view is excellent, perfect for couples or those who want to enjoy a romantic holiday. In terms of facilities, W has always been stylish enough, 24 hours open attic pool even at night swimming overlooking the sea and port lights, want to exercise with a gym, in fact, do not have to leave the hotel can be very chill. I like that the service is considerate enough, the staff is friendly, the front desk is basically efficient, check-in check-out is fast and convenient, if you are in a hurry to rest assured. However, some friends who have tried to encounter a bad smell in the room or not very clean, suggest that you can immediately propose when checking in, the hotel is willing to assist with room changes or enhanced cleaning. If you have already played all over the city center, it is recommended to drive to Grosties Beach Cave and be sure to check the high and low tide times, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to see the sea erosion cave. Overall, staying at W Hotel really saves a lot of transportation time, want to have more time left for leisure travel, and not lose stylish taste, perfect for travel or business trip.

Requesting view rooms and bed types from the hotel in advance can also avoid temporary adjustments when entering the accommodation. If driving by yourself, remember to ask about parking arrangements and charges. City travel reminder: Sydney summer, although the weather is clear, but the weather near the port changes fast, remember to bring a jacket; For a night trip around The Rocks or Darling Harbor, be sure to grab the last traffic. If you don’t want to go too far, Uber and taxis are very convenient. #Sydney W Hotel #Darling Harbor Night View #Sydney Attractions #Harbor Photo #Hotel Booking Tips

Australia's first city on arrival is Sydney, stayed for three days, and the weather was great every day～ Day 1: Arrive in the morning ➡️ Rest at the hotel ➡️ Propeller Park (to take photos of the jacaranda flowers), even without flowers it's a nice small park, very quiet, and the nearby streets are clean and comfortable ➡️ Circular Quay (the most beautiful subway station in the Southern Hemisphere) ➡️ Sydney Opera House (too crowded in the evening, stayed for a while then left) Day 2: Sydney Opera House ➡️ Watsons Bay ➡️ Bondi Beach ➡️ Coogee Beach ➡️ Chinatown 🩵 Went to the Opera House at noon, fewer people and not too backlit. 🩵 Watsons Bay Take the subway to Circular Quay, exit and find the corresponding pier to take the ferry to Watsons Bay, a 20-minute boat ride. 🩵 Bondi Beach From Watsons Bay take bus 380 direct, about half an hour! There is a cliff near the bus stop you can climb up to check out the view～ 🩵 Coogee Beach Take bus 362 direct, walk to the far edge on the hill, there is a staircase down to a small cliff with a beautiful view, the waves are big, really love the vibe here. Day 3: Hyde Park ➡️ University of Sydney ➡️ Royal Botanic Garden ➡️ Mrs Macquarie's Chair ➡️ Sydney Observatory to watch the sunset 🩵 Hyde Park is mainly nice for the fountain and the church, the rest is average. 🩵 The University of Sydney is really backlit in the afternoon, better to go earlier. 🩵 It’s quite a walk from the Royal Botanic Garden entrance to Mrs Macquarie's Chair, take your time and stop along the way～ 🩵 The view from the Observatory is really nice and relaxing, but it’s very windy. Remember to bring a jacket. Tips: ❗️In Sydney, used Visa card for all public transport and ferries, there is a daily usage cap, so just swipe freely. If there are no gates on city trams, remember to tap your card yourself to avoid spot checks. ❗️For 3 people traveling between Sydney city and the airport, taking a taxi is recommended for better cost performance. ❗️Mainly used the Apple Maps in Sydney, which works very well. ❗️Restaurants may add some service charges on weekends, please understand and accept it～
