    The one-hour visit mainly consisted of touring Concert Hall 1 and Opera House 2, and watching a short documentary about the construction of the opera houses. Photography and making any noise were strictly prohibited inside. The 200 yuan ticket price was a bit pricey.

    The scenery is stunning, a natural oxygen bar. The scenic area retains the original forest atmosphere while also offering modern cable car transportation. I really enjoyed the downhill train ride. The nearly vertical slope was a bit thrilling, but the speed wasn't too fast, perfect for beginners like us who enjoy a bit of fun.

    Seeing sharks and manta rays at the aquarium, and taking a boat trip to see penguins up close, as well as all sorts of colorful fish, was a great experience.

    Very simple, you can go in directly with the redemption code. The entrance is on the 5th floor of the mall, and you can take the escalator up. After going up, the sightseeing floor is on the 4th floor, and you can't go outdoors. It is recommended to come in after 4 o'clock and leave after watching the night view. Some of the glass above is not very clean, resulting in poor shooting effects. You can experience delayed shooting. Some buildings seriously block the view of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

    It's a great way to get on and off the train repeatedly, from morning to afternoon! It passes by famous attractions like Central Station, Bondi Beach, the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and Chinatown. It's convenient to get on and off at Central Station because it's right in the heart of the city!

    Darling Harbour in Australia is really beautiful and worth a visit. The tour guide publishes the perfect itinerary every day and reminds us patiently every day. It is really convenient for a family to go out with a personal butler. It is more comfortable to have a small group with fewer people than a large group.
