Best Things to Do

It is best to go to the zoo from Darling Harbour by yacht. You can better enjoy the panoramic view of Sydney. The first day, I found a variety of seats at the Sydney Opera House to shoot the Sydney Opera House and the Bay Bridge. The effect was still not good. As a result, I sat on the cruise ship at various angles and wide angles. The cruise time is only half an hour, very good experience

The explanation was very careful, and I learned about the history of the Opera House from construction to completion. I contacted Trip.com immediately after the first time I went late, and gave a solution. I re-signed to the next day at the scene. It was a very good trip.

The characteristic mountain scenery around Sydney, about 2-2.5 hours&#39; drive from the city. There are three cable car lines. The red one is the most exciting and it is recommended to sit in the downward direction. The blue one is the gentlest. You can take the red cable car down to the bottom trail for sightseeing and then get on the blue one to change to the yellow cable car. The yellow cable car has a glass bottom and travels back and forth between cliffs. There is also a waterfall on one side. The trail below has the dinosaur world that children are more interested in. It is really like an adventure in Jurassic Park, but the trail is relatively flat, so there is no need to worry about children&#39;s walking inconvenience. Those who like hiking or climbing excitement can drive to the Three Sisters Peaks behind to challenge it. It is still quite exciting and original!

Great aquarium Just on the edge of the port, there is a safari park on the side to buy a ticket online and scan the code directly to enter the scene. It is very convenient to see the manatee for the first time! It is worth a visit, about two hours to finish shopping!
