Blue Mountains National Park

🌈Attraction Features: The Blue Mountains National Park is named after the large area of eucalyptus trees on the Blue Mountains that emit a light blue gas when exposed to sunlight. If you observe carefully, you will find that some distant photos show a faint blue mist over the forest, which is emitted by the eucalyptus trees. It is the food that koalas love to eat. The Blue Mountains are very suitable for bringing children to play. The scenic area is free, but taking the cable car costs money. There are three different cable cars that you can take back and forth. The yellow one is stable and suspended over the canyon, allowing you to enjoy the waterfalls in the Blue Mountains. There is a glass area under the cable car, so if you are not afraid of heights, you can look down. If you are afraid of heights, you can look at the Three Sisters Peak on the left front and enjoy the entire Blue Mountains. The scenery is very good, giving you a refreshing feeling at a glance. There is also a red one, an 80-degree inclined mining cable car, which allows you to experience the feeling of miners entering underground mines from the top of the mountain. There is a black section in the middle, very high and steep, but fortunately, the speed is not very fast, so it is not very scary. There is also a yellow cable car that goes up and down from the bottom of the Blue Mountains. If you want to experience the tropical rainforest and visit the mines at the bottom of the valley, you can take the red cable car down, then follow the small map provided by the scenic area or follow the arrow signs to tour the valley rainforest, learn about some tropical plants and animals, and birds. The scenic area will have a sign indicating where birds and snakes may appear. After the tour, you can take the blue cable car back to the cable car station. 🕐️Opening Hours: Around 10 am to around 6 pm. Check carefully when buying tickets, I don't remember exactly. 🚗Transportation Tips: The Blue Mountains are far from Sydney city center. There is no high-speed rail or fast public transportation. It is best to charter a car, drive yourself, or like me, choose a one-day tour on Ctrip. This way, you don't have to worry about how to get there. If you stay in the city center, one-day tours usually include hotel pick-up and drop-off. If not, there will be a very convenient meeting point. 💗Other Tips: There is food available only at the cable car station in the mountains. You can bring some fruits and bread in your backpack, so you can eat when you are tired from walking. Otherwise, if you walk far from the food station, there will be nothing to eat. It is colder in the mountains in winter, so wear more clothes. In summer, there are mosquitoes, snakes, ants, or other crawling animals. If you are timid, be vigilant while playing to avoid being scared.
