Regina TravelsRegina TravelsI enjoyed the scenic views and learned a lot about animals during my solo visit to Taronga Zoo. There are animal shows and feeding sessions scheduled at specific times, so be sure to check the zoo map — it’s definitely worth getting up close to the animals. The cafeteria also offers tasty food at reasonable prices, making it a pleasant stop between exhibits.

无敌的一个小可爱123无敌的一个小可爱123The Sydney Opera House is well worth a visit. It's an iconic Australian landmark and a world-renowned performing arts center. Here are some of its highlights: - Unique Architectural Design [__LINK_ICON]: Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, the exterior features three massive shells, resembling upright seashells or two white sailing ships, earning it the nickname "Theatre with a Sail Roof." In 2007, the Sydney Opera House was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. - Rich Performance Program [__LINK_ICON]: As one of the world's busiest performing arts centers, it hosts approximately 1,600 performances annually, including ballet, opera, drama, dance, music, and other genres, catering to a wide range of art enthusiasts. - Excellent Facilities [__LINK_ICON]: The interior features six performance venues, including the Concert Hall, which seats 2,679 and houses the world's largest mechanical wooden organ with 10,500 wind pipes. The Opera House, with 1,547 seats, boasts exquisite furnishings and excellent acoustics. - Exceptional Views: Located on Sydney Harbour, surrounded by the ocean on three sides, the Opera House offers stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the main entrance steps, the side promenade, and the Circular Quay Observation Deck. The views are particularly captivating at sunset. - High-End Dining: Benelong Restaurant, located within the Opera House, is a Michelin-starred restaurant. Reserve a window table in advance for a unique dining experience while enjoying the ocean views.

Mountain climbing
sarahhanxsarahhanxThe scenery is stunning, a natural oxygen bar. The scenic area retains the original forest atmosphere while also offering modern cable car transportation. I really enjoyed the downhill train ride. The nearly vertical slope was a bit thrilling, but the speed wasn't too fast, perfect for beginners like us who enjoy a bit of fun.

AnthosismAnthosism⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SEA LIFE Sydney AquariumWe had a wonderful time at SEA LIFE Sydney! The aquarium was beautifully designed, and we enjoyed seeing the wide variety of marine life up close — especially the sharks, penguins, and the amazing ocean tunnel. The layout made it easy to explore, and everything was well-maintained and informative. It’s a great experience for both adults and kids. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sydney!⸻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WILD LIFE Sydney ZooWILD LIFE Sydney was such a fun and memorable experience! We got to see Australia’s iconic animals like koalas, kangaroos, and wombats up close. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the exhibits were clean and well-organized. It’s the perfect place to learn more about Australian wildlife without leaving the city. Definitely worth a visit!

Night view
growlergrowlerVery 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.

powerlong88powerlong88It's a great way to get on and off the train repeatedly, from morning to afternoon! It passes by famous attractions like Central Station, Bondi Beach, the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and Chinatown. It's convenient to get on and off at Central Station because it's right in the heart of the city!

_We***87_We***87Darling 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.
