Anonymous user:“It's a truly worthwhile place to visit. Hearing Mozart's masterpieces at the Sydney Opera House was a real treat! "Carmen" was also playing, so taking photos during the performance was forbidden, so I only managed one during the curtain call. The performance, including the intermission, lasted over three hours.”

XUANNER:“The skyline in Queenstown is similar to other cities in New Zealand, and Luge is worth a try. However, buying multiple tickets may be worth it, but it may be a waste if you get tired of playing. My friend just finds queuing and taking the cable car very tried, although she bought six tickets but only played twice.”

刘小心🇳🇿:“New Zealand 🇳🇿 Hobbytown: The immersive Midland World Tour View (5/5) Hobbytown's scenery is simply postcard-level, completely restoring the Shire scenery in the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" movies. Whether it is green grass, hobbit caves on hillsides, or well-maintained gardens and crops, it feels like you have really entered the Middle-earth world. The Hobbit Cave in the sun is brightly colored, perfectly blended with the surrounding natural environment, and every angle is beautiful. I especially like the iconic round doors and windows, full of fairy tale colors. Fun (4/5) As a movie lover, Hobbitun is very interesting. Guides will guide visitors through the Hobbit caves, explaining the anecdotes and details of film shooting, making the whole tour lively and interesting. It’s exciting to be able to experience movie scenes, such as sipping a ginger beer at the Green Dragon Tavern or taking pictures at Bilbo Baggins’ doorstep. This is not only a simple sightseeing, but also an immersive experience, making people seem to be part of the Hobbit world. Cost-effective (3/5) In terms of cost-effectiveness, the ticket price of Hobbitun is relatively high. Although it includes a guided tour and a glass of Green Dragon tavern drinks, it can be a big expense for budget-bound tourists. Given its unique film themes and carefully maintained scenes, the investment is worth it for the loyal fans of The Lord of the Rings, which offers an unparalleled experience. However, if only pure nature lovers, may feel slightly less cost-effective. Overall, it was a worthwhile pilgrimage, but it is recommended to plan the budget in advance.”

M51***48:“Fortunately, I chose lunch. Although the taste was not very good, the buffet of various meats was enough to fill me up! I watched the wool shearing and the performance of puppies driving sheep. After all, I had never seen it before, so it was a bit interesting! There is a small manor on the island, which is not big but beautiful! The boat ride itself is just like that, the scenery is about the same!”

Sitting on a boat, glide up and look up at the blue-green spots, as if floating in the galaxy. The whole process was quiet, no explanation, no noise, only the sound of water and light and shadow, making people completely immersed in the dreamy atmosphere. Short but unforgettable.”

The scenery along the way is picturesque, and you can stick your feet out of the window and wave and interact with the enthusiastic residents. It feels like being in a fairy tale world. This unique journey makes people forget their troubles and is extremely comfortable.”

西沙群岛司马亮:“We rushed to the Knox Fountain at 10:15, but we had to stand on tiptoe in the crowd to see the water column rising into the sky. The smell of diesel and sulfur rushed straight to our heads. But it smelled really good! The champagne pool was bubbling like a giant soda pot, and the green Devil's Bath looked like an alien dye vat. The phone couldn't capture the weird color. When we were walking on the plank road, we almost stepped into a hot mud pit. The tour guide laughed and said, "The geothermal foot bath comes with a free scalding package." The best thing was squatting on the roadside eating a sandwich, the steam mixed with the smell of earth rushed to my face, and when I looked up, the hillside was smoking, and the branches were covered with sulfur frost. It was really a boiler room on earth! It was worth the price.”

Not only is the scenery unique, the food tastes very good and is worth a visit. My personal favorite and I recommend it to everyone. Lobster, beef tartare, fried wagyu beef. There is also a dessert, the white Sydney Opera House. Chocolate brownie + white coconut milk ice cream. As a dessert lover, it is very satisfying [heart]”

The wagyu bones and toothfish are also perfect, and the dessert is satisfying with brown sugar ice cream mochi! 🥰 I like restaurants like this that have a little Japanese blood. ​”

SophyJiang漫旅绘:“This internet-famous coffee shop only accepts reservations. When I passed by, it seemed to be full at any time. If you didn't make a reservation in advance, you would not be allowed in. After checking in, I don't quite understand why it is so popular. 🍃Environment: The industrial style environment of the old power station is transformed. There are actually many similar styles in Melbourne; 🍭Taste: It is not particularly better than other well-known coffee shops. The ricotta hotcake is beautiful and has its own characteristics. The Benedict eggs and avocado toast are just good. 💁‍♂️Service: Although it is full, the waiter's care is still acceptable. The serving speed is not fast, but everything comes up as soon as it is served. It happens to be sitting next to the open kitchen, and I don't feel the smoky smell mentioned by netizens. Just experience it.”

空空CJ:“The staff were really lovely, polite, attentive and friendly, and explained the dishes in detail and attentively without being intrusive. The dishes were all delicious, the portions were just right and the flavors were great. I would have liked the cheese to come out before the desserts, rather than when I wanted them. But since the ice cream came first, I had to eat the desserts first, but I just picked and ate some. Of course this is just an inevitable personal opinion. Such a wonderful experience has made me overlook this. 😍👌💖 In no particular order (after all, the desserts are all beautiful😏): 1. Rum sponge cake (pineapple, coconut, lime) 2. Cheese (chef's selection) 3. Cape beef (radish, charred leek, bone marrow) 4. Quail meat (mushrooms, black garlic, pickled fennel) 5. Scallops (grilled nori, dashi butter, peas) 6. Potatoes (goat cheese, smoked carrots, neem seeds) 7. Pickled cobia (spiced tomatoes, horseradish, XO sauce) 8. Bread and chips 9. Pineapple cocktail”

After renovation, it serves delicious food all day long and has a constant flow of customers from morning to night. The Victorian bricks and tiles have been preserved and incorporated into the Nordic home concept. The colors of the coffee cups, dining chairs and walls all have a bit of Danish style. like. Fortunately, the classic cake dessert remains. The most iconic one is Banoffee, which is the fusion of banana and toffee. Fraser has improved its own version. Fresh cream mousse + banana + toffee caramel + caramel popcorn, eat it layer by layer, with different flavors passing through your mouth. Crisp and sweet, rich, soft and sweet, these are what it means. The classic New York cheesecake, passion fruit mousse, and chocolate cake are all good. Paired with a cup of Allpress white coffee or a cup of ginger-flavored Chai latte, you will be completely satisfied during afternoon tea time.”

It is not surprising that it is a restaurant with a relatively high cost performance [haha] My friend said that Thai milk tea is delicious before, so I ordered a cup this time to try it. It is cold, so I ordered hot tea, which is more comfortable to drink, but it is really sweet [laughing and crying] But it is not particularly sweet, so it is okay. I don’t know if iced tea will be better. I will try it next time (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) The grilled beef tenderloin and Tom Yum Goong fried rice are still delicious, but I don’t know if I remembered it wrong, the cucumber in the fried rice... is it a little less?”
