Sydney Harbour, also known as Port Jackson, is located on the east coast of the Pacific, approximately 20 kilometers from Parramatta River, surrounded by the busiest commercial centers in Sydney. Some people call it the "harbor of the city." Taking a boat ride to admire the scenery on Sydney Harbour is an unforgettable experience, with picturesque sights that leave a lasting impression. Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are both located on the harbor, and the sunset here is breathtaking.

The Sydney Opera House, a famous building in Australia, is located at the convenient Lang Jiao in the magnificent Sydney Harbor. Its white sculptural body is uniquely shaped, like a scattered shell, and is intertwined with the Sydney Harbour Bridge, celebrating together. Construction began in 1959 and lasted for 14 years before being completed in 1973 as a landmark building in Sydney. On June 28, 2007, the Sydney Opera House was named a world cultural heritage site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Every year, thousands of tourists come to visit this building and experience its unique charm.
The Sydney Opera House consists of two large main halls, a small theater, a concert hall, and other ancillary facilities. The two halls are located within a unique competition sail-shaped structure, while the small theater is located within the lower base. The concert hall can accommodate up to 2,679 spectators and has the world's largest mechanical timber-linked organ, consisting of 10,500 wind pipes. The smaller of the two main halls is actually the opera house. Because the larger hall was originally built as an opera house, the stage of the smaller hall is relatively small, making it difficult to accommodate large orchestral performances. Therefore, the completed opera house stage was demolished and rebuilt.
Every day, the Sydney Opera House provides guided tours in Mandarin Chinese for 30 minutes, leading tourists to experience the wonders of this building. From any angle, the Sydney Opera House's design is breathtaking, like an art temple that stands out on its own.

The Rocks is one of the most vibrant areas in Sydney. Its name comes from the early days of the colony, when most buildings were made of local sandstone. This historic area was once a gathering place for sailors, merchants, criminals, and prostitutes, and was also the site of the outbreak of the bubonic plague in 1900 that claimed the lives of 100 people. In the 1920s, many streets were destroyed to build the southern transportation channel Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was not until the community reconstruction of the 1970s that this area became a popular tourist destination. The Rocks has many attractions worth visiting, such as Nurses Walk and Suez Canal, ancient warehouses such as Chui Bell Bay, and Esjen Park under Sydney Harbor Bridge. George Street, the main street of The Rocks, is Australia's first street, with many historic streets, artistic cafes, craft shops, restaurants, and art galleries. There are also markets to visit on weekends, but prices are not very cheap. It should be noted that some vendors do not allow photography, so photography enthusiasts should pay attention.

The AMP Tower, also known as the Centrepoint Tower, rises up from the Sydney Central Business District, reaching a height of 305 meters. It is Australia's second tallest stand-alone building and the Southern Hemisphere's second tallest observation tower. The tower is divided into three levels, all of which are open to the public. At the 250-meter high observation deck, the transparent glass windows provide a completely enclosed 360-degree view, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sydney and also shop for souvenirs at the outdoor gift shop. If booked in advance, visitors can take a tour on the open-air skywalk at 260 meters high, overlooking the surrounding scenery and feeling the excitement of being in the sky. In addition, there is a revolving restaurant inside the tower, which is luxurious and charming. In 2006, the revolving restaurant was renovated to perfection and was reborn in all its glory. It can accommodate 220 people for à la carte or buffet meals, providing the highest quality dining experience in Australia, and the restaurant floor rotates at a speed of 70 minutes per hour. The tower has three double-decker elevators that are as fast as lightning, and it takes only 40 seconds to reach the Sydney Tower Skywalk. The maximum capacity of the Sydney Tower is 960 people.

The Sydney Town Hall, located in a central position, was built in 1869 and its music hall perfectly embodies the Victorian architectural style. Inside the Centennial Hall is a huge pipe organ, which not only impresses visitors but was also completed with over 8,000 pipes when it was shipped to Australia in 1890. If you're lucky, you may hear it playing during your visit. Many architects worked hard for years to build the structure to its current form. In order to better protect this historic building, it has been listed as a national property in Australia. The Sydney Town Hall is open during the working hours of city council members, from Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm.
