Ana_KomarovaAna_KomarovaLovely experience! Some animals like koala, kangaroos, giraffes were not caged and you can look at them and even come closer ✨ However , many animals were hiding or taking a nap far from where people can see them. the zoo is quite hilly so I recommend going to the main entrance on top of the zoo when you arrive so your exploration feels easier.

118***08118***08Watching Carmen at the Sydney Opera House was truly an unforgettable experience. This classic historical work, presented in a new guise, explores the age-old debate: is love a code of responsibility or a shackle on the free soul? We witnessed this timeless argument once again. Modern art forms intertwined to create a perfect visual feast, bringing our trip to Sydney to a perfect close. Wishing everyone traveling here a wonderful time!

Mountain climbing
sarahhanxsarahhanxThe 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.

Night view
growlergrowlerVery 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.

powerlong88powerlong88It'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!

_TI***ki_TI***kiWe had such a fun day at the Wildlife Zoo with the family! 🦘🐦 There were many amazing Australian birds and animals to see, and the whole place was super easy to walk around thanks to the shady trees. We took our time wandering, petting, and even feeding some of the animals, which was a highlight. The bathrooms were clean, check-in with our Trip.com voucher was quick and simple, and before heading home we grabbed some lunch, snacks, and a few souvenirs from the gift shop. Overall, a really enjoyable visit!

_We***87_We***87Darling 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.
