0 1 Sydney Opera House This building is the most famous symbol of Sydney and even Australia. It is said that the Danish architect Jorn Utzon who designed it was inspired by orange petals, palm leaves and Mayan temples, while people compared it to a group of nuns who expected it in shells, sails, cat ears and rocks. In architectural terms, Sydney Opera House not only echoes the reverberation of Gothic Cathedral, but also incorporates the geometric symphony of modernism.
There is not a visitor to Sydney who doesn't come to see the style of the Opera House, and there is not a visitor with a camera who doesn't aim at this great ivory building, so there are countless photographs of the Opera House. The beauty of the opera house is that you see it from different angles and at different times. It has a different aesthetic feeling. Although we have already known it through postcards, if we walk around it and have a look, we will still get different surprises.
The traveler said:
According to our summary, there are seven classic directions to watch and shoot the opera house: one is aerial photography of seaplanes; The second is to climb the Shanghai Port Bridge and photograph it; The third is to shoot through the bridge opening of the Harbour Bridge near luna Park; Fourth, the old factory building in the waterfront of the rock area; Fifth, take a ferry from the circular pier to Manley Beach and watch the shooting from the boat; Sixth, it is near the Lady Macaulay Chair in the Royal Botanical Garden, where almost every tour group goes. Seventh, approach the Opera House to see the detailed structure. Photography is not allowed on the stage in the opera house and concert hall, but you can take a trip to the opera house to photograph the interior landscape except the stage.
Whether driving through, climbing the steel beam, walking on the bridge or passing under the bridge by boat, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is an amazing big man. In any corner of the city, inadvertently seeing it may surprise you! Perhaps the Sydney poet Kenneth Slessor described it best: "The bridge vibrates and echoes like a creature, no matter day or night."
In fact, long before the completion of the Sydney Opera House, the "big clothes rack" had already stood there. Sydney Harbour Bridge was completed in 1932, and it will be 78 years old by 20 10. This bridge connects the central business district with North Sydney. The arch is magnificent, with a height of134m and a length of 502m. The best way to experience the bridge is to walk-there are stairs leading to the bridge on both sides and sidewalks on the east side. If walking on the bridge doesn't satisfy you, try climbing the bridge in a thrilling way, or climb the tower to see the museum (Pylon Lookout & Museum).
The traveler said:
Not all Sydney people like the Harbour Bridge. Writer james michener once wrote in the 1950s: "The huge and practical Sydney symbol ... but it is so ugly that no Australian will like it." We think this writer obviously has nothing in common with today's photographers. By the way, the best shooting location for bringing Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House into the lens at the same time is near the entrance of Luna Park.
Rock area and circular pier are completely two concepts, which are usually introduced together in travel books just because they are close together.
The rock area is a veritable scenic spot in the center of Sydney. At present, there are still a large number of buildings and old streets in the19th century, a large number of the oldest bars in Sydney, and the most lively market in Sydney-the Rock Market. The old church is still there, and so is the old chimney. The Maritime Bureau has become a museum of modern art, and a big warehouse has also become a row of luxury restaurants. However, their appearance has always maintained the old antique. Interestingly, there are still tables and chairs in the ruins of a deliberately preserved residential building. Why put the furniture in the open air? The tour guide in the rock area will say that because the weather in Sydney is so beautiful, there is no need for a roof.
The circular pier can be regarded as the waterfront of the rocky area, where Sydney's most advanced landscape restaurants are concentrated, and two landmarks, the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, are also here. You can think of the circular pier as the Bund in Shanghai. For tourists, this is the most essential and worthwhile place in Sydney to visit three or four times, drink five or six cups of coffee and beer, and don't want to go back to the hotel until midnight. Miraculously, the circular pier is really a pier and a ferry distribution center for local people. It is a wonderful sight for commuters and tourists to pass by undisturbed.
The traveler said:
When traveling in Sydney, it is inevitable to take a ferry at the circular pier. There is a MyMulti pass in the ticket hall of the wharf, and you can take the ferry, bus and subway for unlimited times. The price of a day ticket is more than 20 Australian dollars. We recommend to buy tickets directly on the boat, buy tickets at the destination pier after disembarking, use automatic ticket vending machines and use small bills. Note that the ferry in Sydney is similar to the subway, one stop at a time. Don't take it for granted that the ship will disembark as soon as it reaches the shore. The "station announcement" on the ship basically relies on shouting, please pay attention to the staff calling the station name.
Band-Aid Beach Band-Aid is pronounced "Band-Aid", and the names translated into "Band-Aid" and "Band-Aid" in travel books are all wrong! This is the most common misunderstanding of this world-famous beach.
Why is Band-Aid's pronunciation so strange? Because it comes from the aboriginal language, which means "noise that turns the tide", it describes the impression of this beach well. Band-Aid is probably the most famous city beach in the world. The sand is perfect and the sea is blue. Under the bright sunshine peculiar to Australia, the sea presents a jewel-like color.
What is even more enviable is that the waves in Bondi are very suitable for surfing, and the temperature of the seawater is also very pleasant. The sea is full of handsome skateboarders who show their superb skills in stormy waves, and the shallows are full of girls who enjoy the caress of the waves. Sunlight, waves, beautiful women and champagne make up the postcard-like scenery of Band-Aid Beach.
The traveler said:
The inevitable result of Band-Aid Beach's reputation is that there are too many tourists! The beach is really perfect, and the privacy is similar, but it is very suitable for enjoying beautiful and handsome guys at close range. You can also see many topless women, but unfortunately they are lying face down ... It is highly recommended to find a surfing instructor in Bangdai to learn surfing.
Darling Harbour, also known as the lover's harbor, is more exciting than coming to the Sydney Opera House in many people's minds. There are not many such romantic place names in the world. Just listening to the name can make people excited. In fact, Darling Harbour is not a simple port, but a waterfront entertainment area, where Sydney Aquarium, the world's largest 3D IMAX cinema and countless restaurants and bars gather, attracting a large number of tourists to stop.
The Piermont Bridge in Darling Harbour is a rocking bridge. When a big ship passes by, it can be rotated and opened to let the ship pass. This landscape must have been photographed millions of times by tourists from all over the world.
The traveler said:
We don't think the landscape of Darling Harbour is very distinctive, and we can't see the Harbour Bridge and Opera House here. However, Darling Harbour has gathered the enthusiasm of young people in Sydney, and it is recommended to come to the bar here. The bar here is the most fashionable in the city, with more intense decibels and more lively rhythm. The entrance and exit are full of handsome men and beautiful women and fancy clothes.
Sydney Tower Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Tower are also called the three landmark buildings in Sydney. The nickname of the Opera House is "big shell", the nickname of the Harbour Bridge is "big clothes rack" and the nickname of Sydney Tower is "syringe".
The tower broke ground in 1970 and was completed and put into use in 198 1 year. It is a multifunctional building in the shape of a flagpole. Its appearance is golden yellow, and it is particularly spectacular and dazzling under the sunlight. The Sydney Tower is 304.8 meters high, which is the tallest building in Sydney and the second tallest building in Australia. The tubular tower consists of 46 pipes with a length of 5 meters, a diameter of 6.7 meters and a weight of 32 tons. There are 56 steel cables connected to the ground buildings outside the pipe. Each cable weighs 7 tons and the total length can reach 170 km.
At the bottom of this "syringe" is Westfield Shopping Center, from which you can take the elevator directly to the tower, which is a 9-story conical building with automatic revolving restaurants on the first and second floors; The third and fourth floors are observation decks, which are the best places to overlook Sydney in all directions.
The traveler said:
The best time to visit the Sydney Tower is at night. The whole city is shrouded in a golden sunset, and the Sydney Tower itself is even more magnificent. Sydney Tower can "climb out". This popular activity is called "sky walk", and the best time for sky walk is at night.
Queen Victoria Mansion The Queen Victoria Mansion was completed in 1898, and was originally used as a market and office building. During its construction, it coincided with the economic depression, and the government deliberately spared no expense to invest in luxury design and hire stained glass artists, masons and craftsmen who were unemployed at that time. Thus, a magnificent dome Romanesque building was built. The building began to collapse in the1960s and1970s, and was repeatedly suggested to be demolished. Fortunately, careful restoration not only preserved the building, but also became a famous tourist attraction in Sydney and one of the most beautiful shopping centers in the world.
Interestingly, there is a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the citizens of Sydney in the Queen Victoria Building. This letter was not opened until 2085, and was read by the then mayor of Sydney to the citizens of Sydney. What does the Queen of England have to say before 2085?
The traveler said:
We once passed the Queen Victoria Building in the middle of the night and found that the door was still open and the lights were brightly lit inside. When I went in, I saw that the shops were closed, but the building itself still allowed tourists to visit. Sure enough, this is a scenic spot!
There are some places in Sydney fish market that are not scenic spots, but they are better than scenic spots. The best travel memories often come unexpectedly in such places, such as Sydney Fish Market. Elegant environment, snow-white tablecloths, flickering candlelight, whispering diners ... these scenes in high-end restaurants will only make seafood lose its personality. If you want to see Australia's "seafood paradise", you must come to Sydney Fish Market and eat in a "rough" way!
Clawed lobsters, freshly pried oysters, sweet salmon, fist-sized abalone and countless kinds of fish are dazzling here. /kloc-They were swimming in the sea 0/2 hours ago. The full file environment is best for inviting friends to eat with their bare hands. So the first time I ate sashimi until I was full, the first time I ate oysters until I was bloated, the first time I ate lobster until I was tired, and the first time I ate abalone, I was bored ... The unforgettable first time for many people happened in Sydney Fish Market.
The traveler said:
Although the environment here is simple and seemingly very civilian, the price is unambiguous. If there are many lobsters, abalone and crabs, four or five people can eat four or five thousand at a table. Pay attention to the budget when ordering. Better pay in cash. Many booths will increase the price of customers who swipe their cards (of course, they will be informed in advance). The dining area has the ATM of NAB Australia National Bank, which supports cash withdrawal with UnionPay cards. Besides, it only serves breakfast and lunch and closes at 4 pm.
The New South Wales Art Museum in New South Wales, built in 1874, is one of the three largest art museums in Australia. Every year, the three most important art awards in the Australian art world are selected here, and the winning works are also exhibited here. New South Wales is Australia's earliest place to explore the New World and the birthplace of Australian culture. Therefore, the NSW Art Museum is not the largest art museum in Australia, but it also has a lot of works of art representing the highest level in Australia.
Because the art gallery has two floors of exhibition rooms, the overall building is not very high from the outside, but the beautifully carved external structure and gorgeous Greek temple-style stone pillars are impressive. The treasures of the town hall in the collection are Whistler's Night in Silver Grey, E Granler's Frost in Spring and the works of impressionist masters Picasso, Monet and Lautrec. In addition, it is home to Australia's richest aboriginal and Terry Strait Islander art. ..
The traveler said:
Photographs can be taken in museums, with one exception-no indigenous works of art can be taken.
10 The official introduction of the Royal Botanical Garden is: "The Royal Botanical Garden in Sydney covers an area of 30 hectares and was established in 18 16 under the auspices of then Governor Macquarie. It was originally the first farm in Australia, adjacent to the Sydney Opera House and the Central Business District. " Note that the key is the last sentence: close to Sydney Opera House and Central Business District. What does this mean? It means that 30 hectares of lush plants, white parrots, red-billed gulls, cranes, bats and other residents who don't pay rent are occupying the edge of the central business district, which is the most unique attraction to watch the Sydney Opera House from a distance.
At noon, when we were young, we were taught to take a nap. During the lunch break, we were edified in the office to go to Weibo. In Sydney, many people come to the Royal Botanical Garden for running, some of them are white-collar workers in nearby office buildings. Anyway, the botanical garden is close at hand, so you don't have to drive for an hour or buy a fitness card for one year. At night, I saw countless bats hovering over the harbour bridge. They are all settled in the Royal Botanical Garden, hanging upside down in the dark in broad daylight. Everyone is used to it. This oily white parrot is not afraid of people at all. When it is thirsty, it will fly to the filter water nozzle for people to use. Passers-by and tourists will enthusiastically press the spray button to feed them. On the green carpet lawn, a small sign says "Please walk on the lawn" instead of "Please don't step on me". The relationship between man and nature is so natural and tacit.
Sydney is a city full of surprises, and one of the biggest surprises in our eyes is the existence of the Royal Botanical Garden.
