🌿✨ A 7-Day, 6-Night Australia Trip Review 🇦🇺
– Happiness that’s not just captured in photos but fills the heart –
If someone asks, "Which country makes you smile every day even without anything extraordinary happening?" I’d raise both hands for Australia 🐨💛
This trip started with a simple thought: "I want to see kangaroos and koalas in real life." But once I got there, it became so much more. It’s the simple joys that Australia hides in every corner—whether it’s the warm sunlight, the cool breeze, charming cafes, or the smiles of strangers.

🌈 DAY 1: Hello Sydney! A city full of smiles
The plane landed at Sydney Airport, and my heart was racing! The weather here is comfortably cool, with soft sunlight brushing my face, making me feel like, "I’m really awake now!" 🥹✨
We took the train into the city using an Opal card—super convenient. Then, we checked into a hotel near Circular Quay, a prime location just steps away from iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
In the evening, we simply strolled along the waterfront, enjoyed a scoop of gelato, listened to the waves and chirping birds. It wasn’t anything extraordinary, yet it felt incredibly special. It was as if the city was hugging me tightly without saying a word 🌊💕

🦘 DAY 2: Meeting koalas, kangaroos, and breathtaking views at Taronga Zoo
Today, we took a ferry to Taronga Zoo, perched on a hill by the sea with stunning views! Just seeing kangaroos hopping by made my heart swell. I even fed a kangaroo by hand. At first, I was scared it might kick, but it was so gentle, eating softly and giving me the cutest, innocent look 🥺
The koalas were equally adorable, like living plush toys, dozing off and waking up on eucalyptus trees. I watched them for so long that passersby might’ve thought I was about to transform into a koala myself 😂
The zoo’s view overlooks the Opera House and Harbour Bridge—it’s a peak experience, blending urban and natural worlds right here 🐨🌳🌆

🌄 DAY 3: Blue Mountains – Silence filled with the sound of the heart
We set out early, taking a two-hour train ride to the Blue Mountains, a place straight out of a fairy tale.
The highlight was the "Three Sisters," three giant rock formations by the cliff. They looked magical, surrounded by mist and vibrant green trees. As I walked and admired the view, I found myself stopping to simply listen to the wind, the silence, and the peace—it gently yet firmly touched my heart 🫶
We rode the Scenic Railway, the steepest in the world—so thrilling! The views along the way felt like flying through the valleys, leaving me breathless for moments 😆
⸻
☕ DAY 4: Simple life in the big city – Cafes, books, and graffiti
We woke up late and wandered around Newtown and Surry Hills, areas filled with chic coffee shops, second-hand bookstores, and graffiti-covered walls. Every corner was so charming I wanted to take a photo with everything 🎨📸
The most memorable spot was "Paramount Coffee Project." Their frothy latte and fruit-topped toast were heartwarming. It felt like… just sipping coffee and listening to soft jazz was enough to recharge my entire life ☁️☕
This place has a unique charm—not in luxury but in its perfectly balanced simplicity. Like sitting by a window, watching people pass by, and thinking of someone who couldn’t join the trip…
⸻
🍇 DAY 5: Hunter Valley – A world of wine, flowers, and smiles
We set off again to Hunter Valley, the land of vineyards and cheese 🍷🧀. Even though I’m not a wine enthusiast, I fell in love with this place easily because of its fairy-tale-like scenery—green fields and rolling hills stretching endlessly.
I tried several glasses of wine (but didn’t get drunk, haha) paired with cheese. It was so good I couldn’t stop smiling. At one point, I sat in the middle of a vineyard, with a gentle breeze, warm sunlight, and soft music playing from a speaker. It was so perfect I accidentally said, "I don’t want to go back to Thailand…"
⸻
🌊 DAY 6: Sea Life Aquarium – Diving into an underwater world of imagination
You can’t visit Australia without seeing Nemo! We went to Sea Life Sydney Aquarium, which has an underwater tunnel for close-up views of marine life.
My favorite spot was the jellyfish illuminated by colorful lights—it felt like stepping into an underwater fairy tale, like "The Little Mermaid in a dreamy version." ✨🐠
Afterward, we walked around Darling Harbour. In the evening, there was a musical fountain show—beautiful music, water dancing to the rhythm, reflecting shimmering lights. It was the perfect romantic ending to the day, even without a partner 💖

✈️ DAY 7: Goodbye Australia… but my heart stays here
On the last day, I packed my bags with a heavy heart. Saying goodbye to everything felt so hard. Looking out the hotel window, I felt grateful to myself for daring to book that flight.
Before leaving, I stopped by Paddy’s Market to buy souvenirs—adorable kangaroo keychains, koala tote bags, and Tim Tam chocolates. Eating them while waiting for the flight was the ultimate treat 🍫🛍️
⸻
💌 Summary of this trip in my heart:
Australia is a country that doesn’t try to be charming—it just is, naturally, through the ordinary things around you. Whether it’s the smile of a bus driver, directions from a stranger, or a kangaroo gently eating from your hand.
Most importantly, Australia taught me that "Happiness isn’t about how far you go, but how open your heart is." 🌍💛
The Sydney Opera House is well worth a visit. It's an iconic Australian landmark and a world-renowned performing arts center. Here are some of its highlights: - Unique Architectural Design [__LINK_ICON]: Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, the exterior features three massive shells, resembling upright seashells or two white sailing ships, earning it the nickname "Theatre with a Sail Roof." In 2007, the Sydney Opera House was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. - Rich Performance Program [__LINK_ICON]: As one of the world's busiest performing arts centers, it hosts approximately 1,600 performances annually, including ballet, opera, drama, dance, music, and other genres, catering to a wide range of art enthusiasts. - Excellent Facilities [__LINK_ICON]: The interior features six performance venues, including the Concert Hall, which seats 2,679 and houses the world's largest mechanical wooden organ with 10,500 wind pipes. The Opera House, with 1,547 seats, boasts exquisite furnishings and excellent acoustics. - Exceptional Views: Located on Sydney Harbour, surrounded by the ocean on three sides, the Opera House offers stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the main entrance steps, the side promenade, and the Circular Quay Observation Deck. The views are particularly captivating at sunset. - High-End Dining: Benelong Restaurant, located within the Opera House, is a Michelin-starred restaurant. Reserve a window table in advance for a unique dining experience while enjoying the ocean views.
The Opera House is undoubtedly Sydney's number one must-see destination, and the best way to experience it is to enjoy an opera performance inside. However, this is something you only see once in a while. While researching my itinerary, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that a medley of opera classics was happening on Sunday, September 28th, during my three-day stay in Sydney. Tickets on Ctrip were only a little over 300 RMB—an absolute steal! I booked it without hesitation. Around 2:30 PM that day, I presented my pre-printed ticket and entered the Opera House directly, no need to exchange tickets. The performance began promptly at 3:00 PM, and the four exceptional opera singers (one of the sopranos seemed Chinese) were exceptional. The performance lasted 90 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission. This type of performance is perfect for those of us who aren't opera enthusiasts, as the repertoire is full of familiar classics. Coupled with the superb performances, the voices, without microphones, were beamed to every seat in the auditorium. It was truly a truly remarkable artistic experience. If you have the opportunity to see such a performance in Sydney, don't miss it.
1. The most famous Sydney Opera House is surrounded by many of Sydney's most popular check-in spots: the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay, etc. 2. You can choose to tour the opera house or watch an opera to see the interior. 3. We checked out "Carmen," a very familiar opera in China with Chinese subtitles. The house was usually full, the actors performed excellently, and the audience was very polite.
There are many attractive and cost-effective places to visit around the Sydney Opera House. Here are some for you: Sydney Harbour Bridge The Sydney Harbour Bridge is across the sea from the Sydney Opera House. It is magnificent and is one of Sydney's iconic buildings. You can choose to take a walk in the park under the bridge to appreciate the grandeur of the bridge, or you can participate in the project of climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge (if your physical condition allows) to overlook the beautiful scenery of Sydney from a high altitude. The Rocks There are many old buildings in the alleys of the Rocks on the other side of Sydney Harbour, where you can learn about Sydney's early history. Now it has been transformed into a pedestrian street. In addition to restaurants and boutiques, there are also a number of museums, which are very good to visit. Royal Botanic Gardens The Royal Botanic Gardens is adjacent to the Opera House at the northwest end and is the oldest botanic garden on the Sydney Harbour. The botanic garden is full of century-old trees, and large green lawns have always been a great place for Sydney citizens to walk and picnic. Here you can also perfectly combine the Opera House and Sydney Bridge in the same picture, and the botanic garden is also very distinctive and ornamental. Mrs. Macquarie's Chair It is one of Sydney's famous attractions, located in the Royal Botanic Gardens, and was built in memory of Mrs. Macquarie. It is a great location to enjoy the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, and is known as the Sydney version of the "Husband's Rock".
The Sydney Opera House is a miracle in the history of world architecture, perhaps because of its unique architectural style, or because it faces the sea, backed by the magnificent scenery of the Harbour Bridge, people are looking forward to. As soon as you walk near the Opera House, you will be sure to be attracted by the charm of the building. "This magnificent building is not only a symbol of Australian culture, but also a crystallization of human creativity." The opera house's architectural inspiration, construction history, selection of bricks and tiles, as well as stools, facilities and acoustic principles in the hall, gave me a deeper understanding of the building. I was struck by the history especially when I saw how the spheres were deconstructed and spliced into what they are now, and the time and cost of building them. At the Sydney Opera House, I could also enjoy the beautiful views of the Harbour Bridge. It is recommended to get off at Circular Quay ring terminal station and walk for 5 minutes. Remember to register in advance at the Lower Concourse registry office on the first floor, you can save your bag and collect your tickets. After the visit, you can go to the souvenir shop and buy some favorite medals and refrigerator stickers as a souvenir. The opera house at night is also well worth a visit, with street lights on and people around the ring pier enjoying a drink, music and the sound of seagulls making people feel the vitality of the city. The charm of the Sydney Opera House lies not only in its architectural style and location, but also in the story and history behind it. It was an unforgettable experience that gave me a deeper understanding and admiration of the building.

The Sydney Opera House is an Australian landmark building located in the northern Sydney Harbour of Sydney Harbour, Convenience Point, officially opened in 1973. There is a 2,700-seat concert hall, a 1,550-seat opera house and a 420-seat small theater with complete facilities. If you have the opportunity to go to Australia, don't miss this artistic place! The Sydney Opera House is a pearl of beauty next to Sydney Harbour. Its unique sailing (or shell, sail) shape has not only become a landmark of Sydney Harbour, but also a symbol of Australia and the world. The Sydney Opera House covers an area of1.84 hectares and is one of the world's most iconic buildings, attracting thousands of tourists every year.
Sydney Opera House is definitely a must-visit landmark in Sydney! Whether you come or not, you will regret it. The key is how you play! [狗头] ⛵️ This "white shell palace" floating on the harbor is a postcard-level blockbuster! Looking from the Royal Botanic Gardens, the three groups of giant shells are like white sails setting sail, and the picture framed with the Harbour Bridge is breathtaking; take a closer look, the exterior wall is made of millions of cream-colored tiles, reflecting a pearl-like luster under the sun, and even the gaps are hidden with light and shadow magic. 📷 Photo recommendation: Looking across the sea at the cruise ship berth at Circular Quay, the overhead view of the rooftop in the Rocks, and capturing the sunset silhouette on the ferry deck in the evening. The night tour is even more amazing. The light show turns the shell into a giant curtain, and the blue-purple beams flow between the shells, like an alien spaceship landing. Remember to wear light-colored clothes, and any stop is an Instagram-style blockbuster! 🎵 If time permits, you can book a Chinese tour in advance (1 hour is enough), where you can listen to the legendary stories behind the building (the budget was overspent 14 times, the designer was fired midway), and unlock the mysterious corners that stop tourists. Baozi, who has rich musical cells, chooses an opera experience. When the lights in the dome go dark, you will understand why it is called the "heartbeat of Sydney"!
