Sydney Fish Market is the largest fish market in the Southern Hemisphere. You must go there to try fresh fish. This is the first attraction and the first meal of this trip out of Asia. If there are few people here, it feels that ordering something is not very cost-effective. The processing fee is about the same as Australian dollars per dish. Therefore, Yunluo did not order seafood to be cooked. What you must try when you come here is oysters, which are awesome!
It's super delicious! Sprinkle some lemon juice, and it slides into your mouth. It doesn't smell fishy, ​​but has a little bit of flavor. It's delicious! The price is one Australian dollar, one Australian dollar. I also ordered freshly grilled salmon, which is so big that one person can't finish it. It's really well grilled, tender, and a little juicy, delicious. One piece is Australian dollar.
I also saw seafood grilled skewers. One skewer costs AUD, and the advantage is that you can taste several kinds of seafood at once. I don't recommend the baked scallops. I think the taste is average, and the price is AUD. There is no big advantage. Oh, oh, the seats here are very popular, so one person must go first to reserve a seat, and the other to buy. After eating, I wandered around nearby.
Look at the seagulls, look at the Australian garbage birds, they are really huge. But it seems that the locals don't come here to eat seafood. Anyway, it's a famous tourist destination. Bondi Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Sydney. The sand is really fine. Although it was a bit cold that day, Yunluo and An Chuyu still took off their shoes and walked down.
Many locals come here to play in the water. If you are traveling independently, you can choose to watch the sunset here. The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, Australia. It is one of the most distinctive buildings of the century. It is also a world-renowned performing arts center and a landmark building in Sydney. The theater was designed by Danish designer Jorn Utzon and construction work began.
The Grand Theatre was officially completed in 2009. On 2008, the building was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. The tour guide said that the original design was rejected, but later they found a better design and found this design from a pile of drawings. However, the opera house really cannot be viewed up close. It is not very pretty when viewed up close, because there are many tourists.
Secondly, there is no such glorious feeling. Yunluo met a very interesting old man here. He came here to play with his grandson and wanted to take a photo with his grandson. The handsome and shy grandson was too embarrassed to ask for help to take the photo, so Yunluo quickly agreed.
I took the phone to take pictures for them. Yunluo also teased them that the reserved expression only needed one picture, and changing the pose would be more handsome. The old man looked at Yunluo and made all kinds of funny movements, so cute. You can always meet some interesting people and interesting things when traveling. Friends who travel independently can try the water taxi in the picture below, which feels very cool and will be very refreshing.
The Royal Botanic Gardens is located in the city center, south of the Sydney Opera House, about one kilometer away and within walking distance. From the Botanical Gardens, you can overlook the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House in the distance. This combination constitutes one of Sydney's most famous views, so it is also considered the best place to take iconic photos of Sydney.
The Sydney Opera House is so beautiful when you look at it from here with the light of the sunset. Everyone is taking photos here. You know what? When Yunluo was taking photos, he found that Pakho Chau was right next to him. At first, he didn't dare to confirm it, so he asked his friends around him, and he said the same thing. Later, he was more certain when he heard them speak Cantonese.
I just looked at it and walked away silently. Mrs. Macaulay's Chair is a stone chair carved by craftsmen in memory of Mrs. Macaulay. It is located in the Royal Botanic Gardens. Sydney (the capital of New South Wales, Australia) is located on the southeast coast of Australia. It is the first European colonial settlement in Australia. It was established in Sydney Bay by Arthur Phillip, captain of the British First Fleet.
It was first used to house exiled criminals. Later, with the influx of immigrants during the Australian gold rush, Sydney gradually became the most important city in the southern hemisphere. Sydney was built around Port Jackson (including Sydney Harbour) and has become a world-famous port city for centuries. When I toured Sydney at night, I was deeply attracted by the old buildings on the street, although Australia's history is not too long.
But the old buildings are well preserved. I was too weak to take photos at night, so I just put two photos here. I missed a restaurant on the way back to the hotel, so I bought some fast food. It tasted good. The portion was large. I spent in Australian dollars. With all kinds of curiosity, I ended today's trip and went back to the hotel to take a shower and sleep. I got up early and had breakfast.
Wandering around and taking photos. There were no passers-by in a hurry on the streets of Sydney at around 7am in the morning. The wind was a bit strong in the morning, so everyone should remember to keep warm. The Blue Mountains (English: Blue Mountains) is located 1,000 kilometers west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and is a famous tourist destination in the state. The Blue Mountains is the general name for a series of plateaus and mountains.
The Blue Mountains got their name from the fact that there are many eucalyptus trees growing on the mountain, and the gases released by the leaves gather in the mountains, forming a layer of blue mist. There are many strange rocks near Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, including the Three Sisters Peak, Ginolan Cave, Wentworth Falls and Bird Pecking Rock. It is also famous for its rich Australian Aboriginal cultural heritage.
The Greater Blue Mountains, which consists of parts of the Blue Mountains and nearby areas, was listed as a World Natural Heritage Site in 2009. It is about an hour away from the hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu live. The weather is good and you can see the blue mist from afar. The air on the mountain is really super good, like an oxygen bar. There are many rare plant species on the mountain.
The tour guide introduced the Three Sisters Peaks, which is a legend anyway. The ticket seems to be not expensive. The ticket is a bracelet-shaped sticker, which can be used to take the cable car back and forth. In the first section, Yunluo and An Chuyu took the red cable car (Cableway Jungle Cable Car) which is tilted at 100 degrees. It is very exciting when going down. The staff will help take pictures before it starts.
The second section is the blue cable car (Railway articulated car). You must stand near the door, where the view is the best and you can also take photos of the scenery outside. The third section is the yellow cable car (Skyway high-altitude transparent cable car). You must stand in the middle section. At the beginning, the ground under your feet is not transparent, but after the cable car leaves, it will become transparent.
You can see the scenery below. Don't try it if you are afraid of heights. There are many people screaming there and some are scared. It is recommended not to wear a hat because this section of the cable car is not fully enclosed and the wind is really strong. After coming back, I saw in a travel program that there is also an Echo Valley on the Blue Mountain, but I didn't go this time. Friends who travel independently should not miss it.
We also had lunch in the maple forest in the Blue Mountains. After lunch, we went out for a walk and found the scenery was really amazing. The introduction of Sydney Harbour Tall Ships is written like this: Sailing Sydney Harbour on a classic, comfortable tall ship will be an unforgettable and perfect experience! The sailing route passes by major landmark buildings in Sydney, including the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and Denison Bay.
Garden Island, LUNA Park, and the Maritime Building. The crew on board will give a detailed introduction to this unique tall wooden sailing ship in Sydney and its history. Sit on the boat leisurely to enjoy the crew performance and taste the exquisite appetizers. If you are willing to try, you will also have the opportunity to experience the rope hoisting of the sails by yourself. Actually, Yunluo said that you are traveling independently.
Don't waste time on this meaningless thing, really spend this time to visit the Rocks area next to it. Maybe you can get a lot of surprises. I spent half an hour on the boat, it was so boring. I saw the Sydney Bridge and the Opera House on the boat. It feels like Sydney's classics are inseparable from the Opera House. The Rocks The Rocks is the birthplace of Sydney.
Located in the bustling harbor, it is one of the most popular areas in Sydney. Although the Rocks is a small block, its buildings retain the European style. The numerous bars, restaurants, craft shops and art galleries are filled with the nostalgic atmosphere of the English immigrant period. Because it was a tour, I didn't stay here for too long.
If you are traveling by yourself, you can spend half a day here, and there are several famous restaurants nearby. It's very good. The photos were taken on the way. Dinner was solved at a Vietnamese pho shop on George Street. Everyone should be careful. Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered two bowls, one of which was the signature beef pho, which was definitely the size of a small basin.
Australian bean sprouts are really delicious, plump and crispy. Yunluo almost rolled her eyes after eating these bean sprouts. The beef was not fully cooked when it came, so it was just right after two flips. It really melts in your mouth. Add some lemon juice, and the feeling is so wonderful. The seafood rice noodles are also good. The beef rice noodles of Dawan cost 10 Australian dollars, and the seafood rice noodles cost 10 Australian dollars. A bowl of duck blood costs 10 Australian dollars.
So the question is, what to do after eating and drinking? Of course, go to the supermarket! I didn't have any plans today, so I chose to get up early and go out for a walk after breakfast. The location of the hotel is really great this time. It is very close to China Town and UTS (University of Technology, Sydney), almost two streets away.
There is a free bus opposite the hotel, which can go to Martin Place, Darling Harbour and other famous tourist destinations. The distance between each stop is not long. UTS (University of Technology Sydney) is the only university located in the center of Sydney. It has three major campuses. The main campus is located in the center of Sydney, adjacent to the Central Railway Station and Chinatown, and within walking distance to the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Another campus, Kuring-gai, is located in Chase National Park, 1,000 kilometers north of Sydney, with beautiful natural environment. I went to visit UTS in the morning. The library and other places were not open yet. I walked along the road and saw many Chinese students. There were not many pedestrians. The weather was good. There were also some old buildings near the school.
In the afternoon, I took Virgin Airlines VA to Cairns, Queensland. Cairns does not follow daylight saving time. It seems that if you use a Xiaomi phone, it will automatically adjust it forward by one hour. Remember to adjust it back. The time difference is still one hour! I went directly to the hotel after getting off the plane. This time the hotel is good. As long as you register as a member, you can use the Internet for free in the room.
Dinner was also solved in the hotel. There is a casino in the hotel. Many people go there to try their luck, but Yunluo still went to the supermarket after dinner. Today's hotel is an upgraded international five-star hotel, which is not bad. The place is also big enough. The last two stops are Pullman. The view from the room is also very good. I have to say that the temperature difference between morning and night in Cairns is very large.
After breakfast, I wanted to go to the coast to take some photos, but the sudden heavy rain and strong wind made it difficult to move. The sky cleared up around 10:00, and fortunately today's schedule was not affected. Oh, by the way! It is not recommended to come to Cairns in January every year, because of the weather, it is basically windy, rainy and seay, and sometimes even the ships to the Great Barrier Reef will be suspended.
The Great Barrier Reef is located in the Coral Sea in northeastern Australia. It is the largest coral reef in the world, stretching for many kilometers. It consists of 3,000 coral reefs, coral islands, sandbanks and lagoons in different stages. It is a spectacular sight. It was listed as a "World Heritage Site" in 2000. It is home to a variety of marine mollusks and fish.
Many of them are endangered species in the world. It is also known as the "transparent and clear wild kingdom in the sea". The sea water temperature of the Great Barrier Reef is between ℃ and ℃. You can go swimming and sightseeing in the sea all year round. Please bring your coat with you, not for drying. Because the air conditioning on the boat is really turned on, even if you sit outside, the wind and waves are absolutely strong.
No one sitting outside was not wet by the waves. Yunluo's ears were filled with water, so he had to wear glasses to prevent the seawater from getting into his eyes. Here is a reminder for friends who are prone to seasickness. Don't think that the wind and waves are not big at the beginning. If you walk around on the boat and wait until the boat leaves the place without mountains, you will vomit even if you take seasickness medicine, because of the big waves.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Wave after wave, it's really not covered. If you don't hold the railing, you may fall off the boat. Some people fell off when they were sitting indoors. There are blackmore seasickness lozenges on the boat, so you should put them in your mouth when you get on the boat. And you must bring the hotel's bath towel. You can put it on when it's cold. You can wipe it when the waves are big.
The whole boat trip took about 15 minutes. To be honest, it was really hard to stand when we were halfway through the trip, and I was a little scared. But I really admire those dedicated boat drivers. No matter how big the waves are, they are always in front, serving tea and water, and helping people throw away vomit bags. They are really dedicated. Sometimes some tourists move around inexplicably, and they can't even stand steadily.
Still came to help the tourists who were about to fall. The broadcast on the boat sounded, and it was about minutes before we reached the Great Barrier Reef. Yunluo stood up and looked at the sea water. Wow. It was really blue and green, and there was no pollution. Looking into the distance, you could already see the Great Barrier Reef. When you get to the Great Barrier Reef, please remember to read the precautions first. Birds on the island cannot be fed.
You can't walk barefoot on the beach because there are a lot of corals here. If your feet are scratched, the wound will not heal for a month because the coral contains high protein, which prevents the wound from healing. Well, put away the vomiting mood, let Yunluo and An Chuyu slowly surf on the Great Barrier Reef. After lunch, Yunluo and An Chuyu took a glass boat.
Going out to sea to see the corals and fish on the seabed is like being in fish soup, hahahaha, you can have a meal by just picking up one. If you are seasick, please don't eat too much, because while you are watching fish and corals, you are also watching people vomiting. After returning from the glass boat, I had ice cream and walked around the Great Barrier Reef. It only takes about minutes to complete a circle.
Walk, stop, chat, joke. Time passed too fast, Yunluo and An Chuyu had to return, goodbye to the Great Barrier Reef, Yunluo and An Chuyu returned with the regret of not being able to upgrade this time, the return boat was a small boat, there was no medicine. It was actually okay, at least no waves hit Yunluo's face. After returning to the hotel, he hurried to wash up.
Because you will find that your body is covered with sand, and your hair is messy like a fool. Well, Yunluo is going back to the hotel to change her look. She puts on her red high heels and goes shopping at DFS. After that, she originally wanted to go to the Korean restaurant to eat, but it was full and there were only simple set meals, no army pot or something like that. So, she went to the supermarket as usual.
Grilled chicken, pizza with Fanta; blueberries, yogurt with potato chips. The original flight to Brisbane was cancelled, so I was replaced with an earlier one. I thought I could have breakfast at the hotel in the morning, but I was told that I had to pay extra. It was originally 100 yuan (if I heard it correctly), but later it was 100 yuan! Yunluo thought to himself, can you guys go a little further?
After coordination, Yunluo and An Chuyu were allowed to have breakfast without paying extra. I give a thumbs up to the team leader! In the case of not having breakfast, everyone's interests were preserved. International five-star, what on earth is going on! After an hour's flight, we arrived in beautiful Brisbane. We took pictures of the plane at the airport, which is actually prohibited.
But if you move fast, no one will say anything to you, hahaha. Brisbane (English: Brisbane), or translated as Brisbane, is the capital of Queensland, Australia. It is located in the northeast of Australia, with the Sunshine Coast in the north and the international tourist destination Gold Coast in the south. The metropolitan area has a population of more than 10,000, making it the third most populous city in Australia.
Second only to Sydney and Melbourne. Brisbane is a fast-growing city, and the technology quadrangle in Brisbane is particularly famous and has a great influence internationally. I had airport fast food for lunch today. Since it is fast food, it is junk food. Since we are going to eat fast food, we should also eat local fast food, hungryjack's. The beef is good.
There are really no other places to eat. Well, Yunluo is actually a die-hard McDonald's fan*. *After lunch, we headed to South Bank Park. There is a saying that Brisbane has "three no's": no gold on the Gold Coast, no stories on the Story Bridge, and no kangaroos at Kangaroo Point. The tour guide said that if you look up, the sky in Brisbane is very blue, but there are no clouds. It's true! (~^~)
