This is the Kuniya sunset tour that An Qingju and Yunluo took with the Aboriginal Anangu people. The person on the left is the Aboriginal guide who led An Qingju and Yunluo to visit Uluru, and the person on the right is the English translator. The Aboriginal people of Australia have guarded this land for tens of thousands of years, and also guarded this big rock that they call "holy land".

The indigenous guide began to explain and demonstrate the indigenous people's lifestyle. On her head was the traditional "bowl" of indigenous women, which was used to hold various seeds and fruits picked from the land. In order to free their hands to continue working, they would hold the bowl on their heads.

The 2-hour sunset journey ended. Although An Qingju and Yunluo did not see the sunset, they were very lucky to encounter rain in the desert.

Seeing the mystery and melancholy of the big rocks in the rain, who would not say that this is nature's special care for An Qingju and Yunluo, a group of strangers! An Qingju and Yunluo took the car to the Desert Sail Hotel in Ayers Rock Resort, where they would stay that night.

On the first day, Yunluo was still worried whether the rain in the desert would affect the sunrise at Uluru the next day. Yunluo had imagined countless times the golden light of the sunrise over Uluru and Kata Tjuta, and she prayed that she could see the moment when Uluru and the sun woke up together.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Owen came to the hotel to pick up An Qingju and Yunluo. It was still dark at that time. Owen drove An Qingju and Yunluo to the sunrise viewing platform on the east side of Uluru, which cost 20 million Australian dollars to build.

An Qingju and Yunluo were really lucky. Although the clouds were thicker in the early morning due to the rain the day before, An Qingju and Yunluo at least saw the entire process from the silver glow of Danxia at dawn to the dazzling sunrise, and all of this was truly recorded by Yuer's camera.

The sun woke up at the same horizon as Uluru. The golden light covered Uluru and Kata Tjuta, turning them into different shades of red. The worship of nature reached its peak at that moment.

40 kilometers west of Uluru stands another desert rock landscape - Kata Tjuta (Oga Stone) Katatjuta (Theolgas). Unlike the single rock Uluru, it is composed of 32 weathered dome boulders, the tallest of which is 200 meters higher than Uluru!

Kata Tjuta Oga Rocks are also the most spectacular at sunrise and sunset. After watching the sunrise, An Qingju and Yunluo went to Kata Tjuta to join the Wappa Gorge hike led by the Aboriginal guide, passing through the Valley of the Winds Trail and experiencing the local people's living conditions. Then they took a leisurely stroll among the domes of Kata Tjuta.

Discover rare wildlife in a lush desert oasis. The antiquity and grandeur of Kata Tjuta and the breathtaking beauty of its red centre are well worth the trip.

The Walpage Trail is an optional walking route when visiting Kata Tjuta. It is quite pleasant to stroll leisurely among the domes of Kata Tjuta and enter the lush desert oasis to admire the desert flora and fauna here.

Uluru is closed every year during the hottest part of summer or on rainy days for the safety of tourists. At the same time, as a sacred place for the indigenous people, they do not advocate climbing the boulder, so everyone should abide by the rules when visiting here.

These two strange rock formations have stood in the heart of Australia for 500 million years. For the universe, this may be just a blink of an eye. But for humans, 500 million years is an eternity.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (Ogas) have experienced the waxing and waning of the moon and have witnessed the life of the local Aboriginal people. They are extremely sacred to the local Anangu people.

Back at the Ayers Rock Resort, everyone enjoyed a refreshing afternoon in the hotel swimming pool, then changed into fancy clothes and prepared for a "Sound of Silence" starry sky dinner. At 6 pm, An Qingju and Yun Luo got on the hotel car and quickly arrived at the unique platform, with Uluru on one side and Kata Tjuta on the other.

The desert night may be quiet and lonely. Yuer has been wondering what kind of expression and mood changes Uluru has experienced in the 400-500 million years of vicissitudes; this heart may be fickle, and its red color may change with the light; this heart is eternal, no matter how time changes, it will always stick to this land.

As the sun slowly sets, the passionate inland desert slowly calms down. The most appropriate thing to do at this time is probably to taste pure Australian red wine while enjoying the gorgeous sunset view of the southern hemisphere.

The people at the table all came from different places, spoke different languages, and came together for this starry sky dinner at Uluru. A group photo, a few smiles, and the most beautiful memories of the sound of silence.

After dinner, all the lights were turned off, and in the silent darkness of Uluru, silence was the theme, and you could only hear your own heartbeat and the tranquility of the desert wilderness.

An astropath shines a laser light into the night sky, leading guests to explore the sky and visit the Milky Way, vividly telling mythological stories related to the stars: Orion, the Southern Cross, Andromeda and other constellations that were once in childhood dreams are right in front of you; the clear and distant Milky Way seems to be within reach; a little twinkle is a hope, and with eyes full of hope, you are no longer lonely.

Silence and the starry sky are always romantic themes. I remember what the lion father told Simba in "The Lion King", "In this sky full of miracles, An Qingju and Yunluo can find their dearest and most beloved people."

Traveling always has to end one day, just like life, no matter how splendid the chapter is, it also has to end. I spent ten days in the Northern Territory, traveling from the north to the central part, from the natural and cultural miracles of hundreds of millions of years to the modern elegance of the new urban areas. The ups and downs of the clouds made my heart feel like it had experienced centuries of shock. Today is the time to say goodbye.

So I got up early in the morning and tried to see the various expressions, beauties and postures of the big rock from the balcony of the room. Before leaving, Yunluo had the honor to visit the entire Ayers Rock Resort, and even more fortunately, he also visited the legendary desert luxury hotel "Longitude 131". Longitude 131 is a geographical location.

It is also the name of a luxury five-star tent hotel located next to Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the central Australian desert. The exact coordinates of the hotel are 131° east longitude and 23° south latitude.

The white dome is set against the green desert, which seems a bit contradictory. The green desert is really green in this Australian summer. The streamlined canvas roof hangs from the middle, which is particularly eye-catching in the red desert. Occasionally, it gives people the illusion of being in another world.

There are only 15 tents in this desert, and each tent can accommodate up to 2 guests. That means East Longitude 131 can only accommodate up to 30 guests every night. Yuer longs to become one of the 30 guests here one day.

Each tent is a tribute to the pioneers who discovered this land. The 15 tents are named after 15 pioneers or explorers who first discovered this area, including William Gosse, a European explorer who discovered Uluru (Ayers Rock).

Every painting on the wall is specially designed for this room. There are pictures of the discoverer's early years, works of art made of desert plants, and some are gifts from guests staying in the hotel. The carefully designed room is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is equipped with reverse cycle air conditioning, which can control the room temperature according to personal needs.

The 15 rooms are completely independent, with unique layouts and excellent privacy. Guests staying here can open the curtains and enjoy the scenery with confidence. No other guests will see your room, and there is no need to worry about uninvited guests in the empty desert.

It is said that when the American talk star Opera Whifery came to Uluru, he stayed in one of the tents. Each tent is made of materials that are warm in winter and cool in summer, and the energy-saving and environmentally friendly design is used inside and outside.

Darwin's meticulousness and exquisiteness; the weathered hands of the Aboriginal artists, working meticulously on the canvas; the wonders bestowed on mankind by the rock paintings that are millions of years old in the Kakadu wilderness; the misty twin waterfalls in Litchfield; Robat, the Aboriginal tour guide who tells An Qingju and Yunluo about the history of White Australia.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The dream floating over Alice Springs; the love of life of the Bob Aboriginal chefs; the breathtaking red of the Kings Valley and the breath of the sky; the vastness and mystery of Uluru-Kata Tjuta. There are so many, there are God's handprints and human footprints here, so that all of this is in this vast wilderness.

When the view of the South Pacific spreads out, it is like a rough epic poem, with every word naturally lovely and every paragraph full of gripping beauty.

This tour was booked by Yunluo after arriving in Sydney. After taking the subway to King's Cross Station near the hotel last night, Yunluo booked it at a travel agency on the street. Yunluo had read a guide written by others on the Internet, which said that you can take a train to the central area of ​​the Blue Mountains - the town of Katoomba.

Then I bought a sightseeing bus pass that allows me to get on and off at any time, but considering that this is too troublesome, I bought a ticket for An Qingju and Yun Luo to go on a one-day tour to the Blue Mountains. After the tour, Yun Luo couldn't help but clap his hands in celebration, thinking that he had done the right thing.

Because it takes more time to visit the Blue Mountains by train + local bus. The price is almost the same as An Qingju and Yunluo's group tour. In addition, after arriving at the Blue Mountains, we found out that the town of Ba is the center of the Blue Mountains and the center of its reception facilities. The main attraction - the Three Sisters Peak is next to this town.

Pulpitrock hike and lunch (eat the buffet brought by the guide), tour and the 'Sleap Waterfall attraction on the Gross River Valley in the heart of the Blue Mountains.

First, admire the Gros River Valley (Groserivervall (Trolley Viewing Platform) at the entrance of the attraction - then go along the BA (Katoomba) town.

The Three Sisters, Flatrock, but I didn't take the very expensive railway train (the world's steepest forest train, 415 meters long), cableway (Australia's steepest aerial cable car, 545 meters long), and the valley next to the Three Sisters in the town of BA (Katomba). It's not the cable car that An Qingju and Yunluo imagined is common in Chinese scenic spots, which needs to be taken to save energy and time, but from the town of BA (Katomba) located on the plateau above this cliff. In fact, according to the tour guide, the Blue Mountains are not actually mountains, but just a large plateau, but there are many rift valleys on the plateau, which formed the current magnificent scenery with fantasy colors. )

It only takes 1 or 2 minutes to ride these cable cars, trains, and high-altitude cabins, but the prices are very expensive. In fact, An Qingju and Yunluo have already seen the scenery from the top of the cliff, so it is better to save time and go to other places where the tour guide takes An Qingju and Yunluo to see more beautiful scenery.

In addition, in the hotel where An Qingju and Yunluo were staying in Sydney, they saw a travel advertisement that offered a trip to the Blue Mountains for AUD59. It said that this was the cheapest one-day tour to the Blue Mountains in Sydney, but lunch was not included. Lunch had to be paid for at the town of Katoomba. Yunluo felt that the cost was actually the same as the tour group that Yunluo had joined.

In Australia, a meal costs about 10 Australian dollars, and if they have to spend it in the small town of Katoomba, An Qingju and Yunluo will have to rush back at mealtime. (To be continued...)
