While waiting for the bus, An Qingju and Yunluo had a meal by themselves. The whole process fully demonstrated the spirit and atmosphere of mutual understanding and accommodation. Only in such a social atmosphere can things be done well. Unlike in China, when you encounter problems during travel, no matter whether it is the travel agency's responsibility or not, the travel agency will pay for it in the end.
Here is a real case that An Qingjue and Yunluo encountered with a travel agency in Sihai City. Last year (2011), a travel agency in Sihai City organized a tour group to visit East Lake. While standing on a stone table to take a photo, a tourist accidentally fell down and was injured.
Logically speaking, as an adult, he should have known that the purpose of the stone table was definitely not to provide a place for tourists to take photos. An Qingjue and Yunluo thought that this kind of accident should not be considered the travel agency's responsibility. However, the tourist actually sued the travel agency, saying that the accident was the agency's responsibility.
What is surprising is that the court finally ruled that the travel agency lost the case and had to compensate the customer for the loss! This has led to the fact that domestic travel contracts are getting thicker and thicker, and the tourism environment is getting worse and worse. For example, the mountain road in front of the Feilai Peak statue in front of the Lingyin Temple in Xihu City has been closed and people are not allowed to go up.
Because some sections of the road are steep and narrow, and due to environmental and cultural relic protection restrictions, they cannot be widened or renovated. So, once an accident occurs, according to current legal practices, it is definitely the responsibility of the scenic spot, so the scenic spot simply closed it off. Now tourists can only watch from a distance across the river. You know.
The Feilai Peak statues in Xihu City are the largest grotto statues in Jiangnan, with very high artistic value. It is a pity that they are not allowed to be viewed nearby, but considering the difficulties of the scenic spot, this is also something that cannot be done.
In contrast, when Yunluo participated in a local tour in Australia, she was only given one or two A4-sized confirmation letters stating the itinerary and precautions. There was no need to sign a thick travel contract with each tourist like An Qingju and Yunluo's domestic travel agency did.
Therefore, through this small example, we can see how important a social atmosphere of mutual understanding and accommodation, conscious fulfillment of one's responsibilities, and doing everything according to conscience is to the lives of An Qingju and Yunluo.
After arriving at the lobster factory, be sure to go to the canteen to pay and order a lobster meal before the tour. This is definitely one of the best and cheapest places in the world to enjoy lobster!
Generally speaking, desert surfing is very safe and is a well-known local tourist attraction. However, once you get stuck in the sand, tourists should not stay in the car while it is being rescued.
One-day tour to the Pinnacles, Koalas and Great Sand Dunes: AUD517 (AUD207*2 adults + AUD103 children), (approximately RMB 2,905) Buy hot chocolate in the roadhouse on the way to the Pinnacles: (approximately RMB 25.29) Bought a "Southern Hemisphere Astronomy Map" in the convenience store in the Pinnacles scenic area.
(about RMB 56) – I suggest that if you see this kind of astronomical map of the southern hemisphere, you can buy one, because it is difficult to buy in China. Later, An Qingju and Yunluo had dinner at Lifebites in the small town in the center of Australia: AUD 69, (about RMB 388) and went shopping in the supermarket next to the hotel that night (2 liters of milk for only. It is cheaper than the price of milk in Sihai City.): AUD 23 (about RMB 129).
I had no choice but to choose the .au one-day tour to Wave Rock, which included the puppy cemetery, hipposyawn (a huge rock that looks like a hippo yawning. It is near the Wave Rock scenic area) and Wave Rock. However, their tour bus drove to Wave Rock from the south line.
So unlike the Wave Rock day tour offered by .au, which allows you to visit the ancient town of York and the undeveloped Avon Valley, you cannot go to the Humps & Mulcas Caves near Wave Rock (where there are ancient primitive cave paintings).
Of course, the tour that An Qingju and Yun Luo participated in was slightly cheaper. The price of the one-day tour to Wave Rock provided by Adults Ours is: Adults Ours only provides cold lunch boxes brought with the car. The price includes: lunch, car, tickets. Tour guide, pick-up.
(The lunch on the Wave Rock day trip organized by Travelbug was very good, and because we visited fewer attractions, we were able to return to Perth city around 5:30. In this way, An Qingju and Yunluo still had time to walk around the city and see the night view of Perth in the evening.)
When Yunluo was planning the itinerary before departure, I saw a post saying that Wave Rock was nothing special, but after Yunluo went there in person this time, I realized that Wave Rock was really spectacular and unique. If you don’t go, you will really regret it. And the way to Wave Rock from Perth is amazing!
There are only 7 guests in this tour group today, An Qingjue and Yunluo, two Malaysian Chinese girls who immigrated to the local area and are studying in university (one of them is studying in Perth, and the other is visiting her from Sydney on vacation). The other two are an elderly couple from New Zealand.
This is a photo taken with two local Chinese college students in the parking lot of the "Hippo Yawn" attraction:
Today, the tourist minibus came directly to pick up An Qingjue and Yunluo at their hotel at 6:45 in the morning. Because they did not need to rush to a pick-up location at an unknown distance, An Qingjue and Yunluo got up at 6:15 and skillfully boiled hot water in the kettle they brought.
After making the coffee that An Qingju and Yunluo brought with them, and adding the milk and fruit that Yunluo bought yesterday, the two seafood baskets left over from last night, and some bread and food that he brought from the plane, he ate his fill and went out. It was exactly 6:45!
Waverock, standing in the central desert of Western Australia, is a famous tourist attraction in Australia, 350 kilometers and a 5-hour drive from Perth, the capital of Western Australia.
Near the city of Hayden, on the edge of the grain-growing region of Western Australia, there is a huge rock formation called Hayden Rock. At its northern end there is a rock body overhanging outward, called Wave Rock, which rises 15 meters above the ground. Wave Rock is named because its shape resembles a row of huge and frozen waves about to break.
The natural ups and downs are like huge waves in the sea. It is quite spectacular. Every year, a large number of European and American tourists come here to see the unique and spectacular sight of Waverock. In the past year, tourists from Asia are mainly young people traveling independently.
Wave Rock is made of granite. Although Wave Rock stands on bare, dry land, it may have been partially underground in the past (about 2.7 billion years ago). Water seeping into the ground eroded the flat bottom of the rock, washed away the soil around the rock, and wind followed to change the shape of the rock.
Wind-borne sand and dust eroded the lower layers, leaving behind a curled top. The surface of the wave rock was carved into a concave shape. Rainwater washed minerals and chemicals down the rock surface, leaving streaks of reddish brown, black, yellow and gray. The entire erosion process was very slow.
But the scenery presented in front of An Qingju and Yun Luo was so spectacular. The power of nature is so great! The lines on the surface of Wave Rock are caused by the rain containing carbon and hydrogen, which takes away the chemicals on the surface and produces chemical reactions. These lines of different depths make Wave Rock look more vivid, like rolling waves.
The photographer of
The photo later became the cover of National Geographic magazine, becoming famous overnight. Wave Rock has since become a popular location for photographers to capture. The secret to capturing the various colored lines of Wave Rock is to choose to shoot in the afternoon, because this is the time of day when the colors of the lines are the most vivid.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At dinner, An Qingjue and Yunluo were cooking the instant noodles they bought in the supermarket. They met the sister and mother of the Singaporean owner of the hotel, and then they knew that the manager of the hotel, Mr. Lin, mentioned on the Internet was just a manager they hired, and the owner of the hotel bought the house five years ago.
An Qingju and Yunluo also met a Portuguese guest who lived in this hotel. Because of the economic downturn in Europe, he came to Perth to find a job. Because Western Australia is vast and sparsely populated, there are many job opportunities, so the Australian government allows foreigners to work here.
As long as he changes his employer every six months, the guest will stay in this hotel permanently, which is much cheaper than staying in other places.
On the train bridge leading to the North Bridge area, An Qingju and Yunluo were peeling oranges they had just bought from the small supermarket next to the hotel (An Qingju and Yunluo found that the prices at the small supermarket next to the hotel were higher than this one). The north entrance, this street, after crossing the bridge, is called, and the block to the west of the bridge is the block of the Western Australian Cultural Center, which has the Western Australian Library, Museum, Grand Theater and the like.
1. When taking photos at the Wave Rock, it is better to take photos in the middle, because at the entrance, the ripples are not very obvious. Even if you point the lens at the part with ripples inside, in order to have a tilt angle, you will unconsciously include the part where the ripples are not obvious at the entrance. Yunluo also made this mistake at the beginning, and fortunately he visited some more scenery in the middle of the Wave Rock later.
2. Although Wave Rock is far away from Perth, 350 kilometers away, and it takes about 4 hours one way, the scenery along the way is really amazing. So, in addition to admiring the wonders of Wave Rock, this is actually a trip to fully enjoy the scenery of Western Australia's fields.
3. Be sure to walk on the top of Wave Rock. The mountain is not high and not tiring at all, but the scenery is really shocking. The prices of goods in the two small supermarkets on the left and right sides of
Known as the best-preserved 19th-century port town in the world, it basically has no high-rise buildings. The streets of the entire town are quaint and full of Victorian buildings that are well preserved, which are the marks of early immigrants. Then take a cruise on the Swan River back to Perth city.
