As soon as I stepped into this town, I immediately felt refreshed. Pleasant country music floated in the empty streets, and the air was filled with the scent of the sea. Following the direction of the music, an open-air bar, coffee and western restaurant (Simons Waterfront) by the sea stood out in the blue sky and white clouds.
The resident singer is performing his inner monologue with his magnetic and slightly vicissitudes voice. Sitting on the terrace of this cafe, the sea breeze blows gently. Looking around, under the blue sky and blue sea, there are locals surfing and windsurfing. The long coastline is shrouded in a strong holiday atmosphere, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Flooding unscrupulously under the scorching sun, Yunluo's envious eyes and hatred swept over every happy figure on the beach. She really wanted to stay, stay, and never leave. Yunluo didn't know how to describe Australia as a country and Sydney as a city. She could only find a trace of similar impressions during the wonderful and unforgettable free trip to New Zealand last year.
Similar buildings, similar air, similar scenery, similar healthy living concepts, everything during the journey is so familiar. Perhaps these two mysterious lands in the southern hemisphere originally have many similarities, so even if I came to such a distant place alone this time, I would not feel unfamiliar.
Sydney, a city that is affectionately called "Sydney" by Hong Kong and Taiwan people, what is so lovely about it? Sydney is the capital of New South Wales, Australia. It is the largest port city in Australia, Oceania and the Southern Hemisphere, and is also recognized as one of the world's top ten most prosperous international metropolises. Overlooking the entire city from the air.
Although there are not many high-rise commercial buildings, the area is indeed very large. The city center is mostly office buildings, with few residential buildings. The low houses with a wide area away from the center are residential areas. The famous Sydney Opera House and Sydney Bridge are the city's representative landmark buildings, and the lack of sunlight does not affect Yunluo and An Chuyu's interest in visiting Sydney.
It was the first time that I saw the real Sydney Opera House so close, without watching the screen or taking photos. I couldn't hide my excitement. The Lady Macquarie Chair in Sydney is one of the must-see attractions for tourists. It not only witnesses the touching story of loyalty, but most importantly, you can see the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge clearly from the shore.
The Sydney Opera House and Sydney Bridge stand on the rolling waves, far away, yet so intimate. One day, Yunluo saw their faces, so clear and vivid. Mrs. Macquarie's chair is a world-famous and legendary chair. It is a stone chair, like a wide sofa, sitting under a large eucalyptus tree by the harbor.
It is said that Mrs. Macquarie was the third Governor of Sydney. A historical figure who made important contributions to Sydney, she sympathized with the British who were exiled to the Australian continent for a minor fault, and ordered the handcuffs and shackles on those "prisoners" to be removed and set free. She also often went to the harbor and the seaside to personally welcome merchant ships and relatives from her motherland.
In order to allow Mrs. Macquarie to sit on the shore and rest while waiting for the boat, people carved a stone chair for her. Now when Yunluo and Anchu come here, they can see this touching historical story engraved on the stone back of the stone chair, which is a monument to commemorate Mrs. Macquarie and praise her humanistic management.
Mrs Macquarie Chair The parkland where Mrs Macquarie Chair is located is the best place for Sydney people to relax and exercise. The fresh air makes people feel happy. Reading on the lawn bench or couples taking photos and chatting on the shore, such a plain and simple picture deeply affects everyone in it.
Sydney Opera House, like a lotus flower blooming in Sydney Bay, has been eroded by wind and rain for many years. Although its appearance is slightly mottled, it still shines with dazzling brilliance. The elegant shell shape is full of Danish architect Jorn Uzan's infinite yearning for the sea. He used this simple and meaningful shape to establish the profound meaning of Sydney, a harbor city.
The Sydney Opera House was first constructed in 1937, and the Australian government began to invite overseas bids in 1949. It took more than 10 years for the construction to be completed in 1959. In the social context of that era, John Uzan's design ability was impressive, as he was able to create such a novel and unique shape. The entire construction process of the Sydney Opera House took years.
It cost hundreds of millions of dollars. After the Sydney Opera House was completed, the Queen of England visited it and said that its shape was as beautiful as a crown. The interior of the opera house is small and old by today's standards, but it was extremely luxurious back then. The floor and ceiling of the opera hall are made of locally produced boxwood and birch.
The spring seat cover is made of the best local wool fabric. The sound reflector is suspended in the air above the stage. It was also the first opera house to use a sound reflector at that time. The height of the sound reflector can be adjusted up and down as needed. Above the back of the stage is the Grand Organ designed and built by Australian artist Ronald Sharp.
It is said to be the world's largest mechanical tracker action organ, consisting of 10 wind pipes. Although it looks small now, it can accommodate 100 audience members at the same time. It was an honor to hold a performance at the Sydney Opera House. Today, the Sydney Opera House is becoming more and more popular, often performing operas, symphonies, chamber music, operas, and dances.
Chorus, pop music, jazz and other performances are more closely received by the public. Captain Cook Cruises cruises in Sydney Harbour, enjoy the scenery of Sydney Harbour. For leisure Australians, going to bars or singing K after get off work is not their first choice of entertainment. Australians like many entertainment activities at sea, such as kayaking and sailing.
It is a sightseeing cruise ship among the many cruise ships docked in Sydney Harbour. Tourists can board the ship from Sydney Harbour Pier and take a cruise to visit the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Bridge, Sydney city, wealthy areas, old dock warehouses and other city scenery in the central area of Sydney. The whole tour takes one hour.
This person is certainly not the captain, he is just a staff standing at the door to welcome tourists, but Yunluo likes his expression Captain Cook Cruises has three floors. The first floor is the visitor lobby to receive ordinary guests, the second floor is the VIP room, and the third floor is an open-air deck, where you can see all the beautiful scenery passing by.
The first floor is the visitor lobby where you can exchange your boat ticket for a free cup of coffee or drink. The CaptainCookCruises cabin toilet is very high-end! The space is large and clean! The Sydney Harbour Bridge is the world's first single-arch bridge, spanning Sydney Jackson Harbour and is an important transportation hub connecting the north and south banks of the port.
The famous Martell XO left Yunluo and An with a fresh memory of their first encounter. The shape of the bottom of the bottle was inspired by the beautiful curve of the Sydney Bridge. That night, I was fortunate to watch the "Chinese Dream Australian Love" concert at the Sydney Opera House with De Rucci. The famous conductor Guan Naizhong led the Huaxia Nationalities Orchestra of the China Conservatory of Music to perform on the same stage with the Australian Violin Ensemble.
In addition, Song Fei, the national first-class actress and the Chinese Erhu Queen, attended and played music. Sitting in the audience were entrepreneurs and well-known Chinese who have made many outstanding contributions to the development of relations between Australia and China. Yunluo believed that this musical blessing from his hometown would be more intimate and touching for the Chinese who have lived in Australia for a long time.
"Chinese Dream, Australian Love" has left every visitor to Sydney with an unforgettable sleepless night. The Sydney Aquarium is built under the water of Darling Harbor, with a total length of meters of underwater passages. Glass viewing windows of different forms and themes allow visitors to fully appreciate the underwater landscape. A variety of native Australian underwater creatures are gathered here. There are as many as many species of sharks.

Napoleon fish and even the legendary mermaid - manatee Sydney Aquarium Stonefish Sydney Aquarium Sydney Aquarium Sydney Aquarium Long-legged crab Sydney Aquarium Long-necked turtle Underwater tunnel Mermaid - manatee! Look at this little eye! Seahorse Sydney Aquarium The aquarium has a panoramic glass sightseeing tunnel, where you can see marine life from all angles, which is very interesting!
Aquarium souvenir shop, tour the entire aquarium. It is worth spending an hour. Sydney St. Mary's Cathedral was built on the site of Sydney's first Catholic church. From the top of the spire, it can be seen that it has a medieval Gothic style. This church is very large and long, with a magnificent towering top, a gorgeous altar and solemnity. The most amazing thing is...
The windows of the church are opaque black from the outside, but when you go inside, you will see colorful stained glass, which is extremely beautiful. There are many exquisite sculptures inside, as well as the clothes and cane that Father Malog wore. Unfortunately, taking pictures inside the church is not allowed, so Yunluo can only give a brief description of the interior. Sydney St. Mary's Cathedral is worth a visit.
Sydney St. Mary's Cathedral Sydney St. Mary's Cathedral opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 10 am to 30 pm. The exterior wall is the same as the local sandstone church. Behind the church is a jacaranda tree. This blue flower tree can be seen in all the streets of Sydney. The flower language of jacaranda: represents tranquility, depth, melancholy, tranquility, seclusion, and elegance.
Waiting for love in despair is a victory even if you fail. Sydney street scene Australian local brand vehicles on the Sydney Harbour Old man singing and performing The focus of this trip to Australia is of course to visit De Rucci's first store in Sydney, Australia. The first store in Sydney is located in a prosperous area in Sydney city. It is near the University of Sydney. It is also the furniture and bedding brand that I paid attention to this year's decoration.
As a consumer, Yunluo only has a superficial understanding of it. He only knows that De Rucci's beds are very comfortable and that they can calculate mattresses suitable for everyone based on ergonomics. De Rucci's pillows also have high-tech and high-tech materials. De Rucci, as a leading brand in China's bedding industry, has gone from domestic to global through ten years of development, and successfully opened a branch in Australia in 2017.
In the next ten years, we will open our own brand stores in developed countries around the world, including the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore, etc., to enter the international market. It was this trip that gave Yunluo a new understanding of De Rucci. The University of Sydney is a school without walls and main gates. If you come here for the first time.
If no one tells you that you are on campus, you will definitely think that this is a beautiful garden. The entire campus is surrounded by greenery. There are quiet landscape ponds and thick and dense trees. Walking along the clean road through the garden, you can see a yellow English-style building in the distance. This is the main teaching building of the University of Sydney.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Like many old British buildings, the details reveal a strong historical style. The yellow stone exterior wall of the University of Sydney is made of local sandstone. The creepers on the corners of the teaching building spread to the tall windows, and the dim light is projected through the windows.
It reminded Yunluo of the magical chamber of secrets in the magic school of Harry Potter. Yes, such a wonderful teaching environment will really infect everyone like magic. Hot water is placed in the snack corner, and there are coffee, tea, and milk tea on the side. There are also exquisite and delicious breads, which are provided free of charge to students and teachers studying here. In the garden of the atrium of the teaching building of the University of Sydney.
There is a jacaranda tree planted. Perhaps the warm summer has not really arrived in this city yet, and only a few purple flowers are blooming on the branches. But Yunluo can imagine how beautiful the jacaranda tree with purple flowers will be under the bright sunshine. Sydney University Sydney Midnight Phantom The first time I went to Auckland, New Zealand, I was attracted by the night of that city.
In Sydney, its night scene has an indescribable beauty. Sydney at night is completely different from the daytime. You can't see tall and short buildings, only dots of lights. Although most of the downtown area of Sydney is office buildings and shops, after 12:00 in the afternoon, most of them are closed, leaving only cafes and bars open.
However, many of these long-closed shops and business buildings still have their lights on. This is a government regulation for the beautiful night view of Sydney. The Star, Sydney's only casino, is where Yunluo and An first met at the Astral Tower and Residences at The Star.
Australians don't have much nightlife, and bars usually close at 12:00 p.m., so only casinos are open until the latest. When they arrived in Cairns, the time was just right, noon, neither too early nor too late, and they were unfamiliar with the place. Yunluo and An Chuyu naturally chose to take the airport shuttle bus to the hotel, because in their impression, taking a taxi is always more expensive than these shuttles.
As a result, when I first arrived in Australia, I was refreshed with this impression. The two spent AUD to buy tickets and waited for minutes to get on the minibus. However, the next morning, Yunluo and Anchuyu took a taxi from the hotel to the airport for only AUD. If you meet someone traveling with you, you can share the taxi. It can be seen that you should be cautious when taking the airport bus in Cairns. We arrived at the hotel at 12:00 pm.
Hotels in Australia are really strange. The check-in time is 3pm, but the check-out time is 4am. However, luck must be conserved. Yunluo was not turned away during the whole process. Even if she arrived in the morning, she could check in directly. Since Yunluo and An Chuyu were flying to Hamilton Island the next morning, they would only stay in Cairns for the afternoon.
Moreover, compared to the beautiful Outer Great Barrier Reef, Yunluo and An Chuyu actually don’t care much about Green Island and Magnetic Island and the Great Barrier Reef that have been destroyed by humans. It’s still a good idea to just wander around the city of Cairns and have fun. The picture above is directly outside the hotel. In fact, the hotel is quite good, called Rydges planade Resort Cairns, and it’s a chain.
We saw several of them along the way in Australia, and the geographical location was also good. This is a swimming pool near the sea in the city. Although the sun was setting, the children were still playing carefree. I wonder if the children in China were on their way to tutoring classes after school. It’s heartbreaking to think about it. This was Yunluo’s first meal in Australia.
A Chinese buffet opened by a Korean. You can put as much as you want on a plate. Different sizes of plates have different prices. Yunluo seems to be AUD. I don't recommend it. Everything is sweet. But the squid and shrimp are pretty good.
Yunluo loves Hamilton Island the most. Hamilton Island had a heart-wrenching flight to Brisbane in the early morning of the next day, and then transferred to Hamilton. However, when I arrived in Hamilton, my mood suddenly became happy, and I felt that everything was worth it. I have to say, the rich island is the rich island, and the smell of rich people is everywhere. Hahaha, just look at the pictures!
Whitsunday Apartments overlooks the building below, and has its own small swimming pool. Although Yunluo has never been there, it is sad that the lives of rich people are different. This small golf cart is a buggy (actually not expensive, it seems to be AUD/day, the details are unknown), a means of transportation on the island. (~^~)
