I stayed in Australia for a while. Except for go on road trip, who spent two days and one night on Ocean Road, I spent most of my time in Sydney and Melbourne. It happened that a few days ago, a netizen said that he planned to travel to Australia and asked me whether I liked Melbourne or Sydney better. I said I couldn't answer this question, and Australians have been arguing about it for decades.
Before the capital of Australia was officially confirmed, Sydney and Melbourne, as the two largest cities in Australia, had a fierce struggle. The so-called one mountain can't accommodate two tigers. In order to calm the dispute between the two sides, the country finally chose Canberra between the two cities as the capital of Australia, which calmed the storm.
Which of the two cities do you prefer? Let's look at the picture and talk.
Sydney branch
As the oldest, largest and gentlest city in Australia, beautiful Sydney makes every visitor feel differently. Wide beaches and sightseeing cruise ships make this port city a holiday destination to experience the perfect holiday. The iconic Sydney Opera House has attracted countless tourists and never let people down. Chu Yang stayed in Sydney for a long time, partly because he wanted to hear a world-class opera in this world-class opera house.
Harbour bridge
Of course, the harbour bridge next to Sydney Opera House is also one of my favorites. Walk on the arched plank road at night to watch the sunset. The Sydney Opera House is shrouded in the afterglow of the sunset, with a faint layer of Naples yellow, which shines against the blue New South Wales River. Believe me, it is definitely a scenery that you will never forget.
Blue mountain
The origin of the name "Blue Mountain" is very interesting. According to local friends, the name "Blue Mountain" comes from the fact that the sun shines on eucalyptus leaves, which makes the oil evaporate with water and mix with dust in the air, forming a unique blue mist under the action of light.
However, Chu Yang believes that although the blue mountain scenery is beautiful, it is not only known as a national treasure park, but also listed as a world natural heritage. However, compared with mountain scenery, except Swiss Alps and South American Andes, China's mountains are the most distinctive and beautiful in the world. Whether it is the "Five Mountains" or Yunnan, Tibet and Xinjiang, they all have their own characteristics and are beautiful.
Port Stephens
Sweetheart daddy
I specially invited a day to accompany me and drove us to this beautiful port. This beautiful harbor scenery is called "blue water paradise", which attracts tourists from all over the world.
Whether swimming, surfing or fishing, you can enjoy yourself here. In addition, sugar
Dad said that dolphins often haunt here, but the weather was bad on the day we went. We waited for a long time and didn't see the dolphins, so we had to leave angrily.
darling harbour
The advantage of living near Darling Harbour is that after dinner every night, you can go for a walk by the harbor, where there are many shops and countless cafes and restaurants.
It is also during the Spring Festival, and various activities and performances in the evening are even more lively.
Of course, if you don't like noise, it's easy to find a quiet corner, blowing the sea breeze, listening to the blues in the bar and listening to the laughter in the restaurant. The night in Sydney is so intoxicating.
Melbourne article
If Sydney is compared to a vibrant sunshine boy, Melbourne is more like an elegant and charming gentleman. Melbourne, known as the "Cultural Capital of Australia", shows elegant temperament everywhere, whether it is brilliant human history or attractive entertainment and food.
According to RoyMorgan of Australia,
The researchers surveyed the cities that Australians like to spend their holidays most. In the survey in 2006, the number of Australians aged 14 was132,000. By 20 17, the number had increased to nearly148,000. Melbourne is the capital city that Australians want to spend their holidays most!
University of Melbourne
Chu Yang formed the habit of skipping classes when he was an undergraduate. Besides specialized courses, students majoring in art have a lot of leisure time. At that time, Chu Yang was particularly interested in psychology, so he went to the psychology department to take pictures of their schedules and took all the courses he was interested in from freshman to graduate. A few years later, I have become familiar with the whole psychology department.
Unlike universities in Europe, courses in Australia are mainly optional, and there are not many open classes. Fortunately, with the help of friends, I took several psychology classes at Melbourne University, which is also the abnormal psychology that Chu Yang is interested in. Many cases told by the professor have inspired me deeply, and I have a deeper understanding of abnormal psychology and benefited a lot.
australian open
Almost all Australians who love sports are athletes. Whether skiing, surfing or boating, tennis has special feelings for every Australian.
Chu Yang also studied tennis for some time when he was in China, and he always wanted to see the scene. Unfortunately, there was no competition in Melbourne during that time, so he had no chance to leave it to the future.
National Gallery of Victoria
Compared with the contemporary art museum in Sydney, Chu Yang prefers the Victoria National Art Museum in Melbourne. As the cultural capital of Australia, the quality of its contemporary art exhibitions is no less than that of the Venice Biennale.
This season's exhibits come from the works of 1800 artists around the world, which are changed every two weeks, and there is also a special explanation tour. Although it is not as big as Pompidou Museum of Contemporary Art, it will take at least a whole day to complete the exhibition if you want to visit it carefully.
Haiyang road
The Twelve Apostles of Dayang Road is also one of the must-see attractions in Australia. Even Chuyang, who has seen so many beautiful scenery all over the world, can guarantee that the scenery of the twelve apostles can rank in the top ten.
Blue sky and blue sea, pure as heaven. Huge stone pillars stand alone in the blue waves and white waves, reflecting the sunset at dusk, and there is indeed a heavy sense of vicissitudes. If we are lucky, we can see the lovely baby penguins ashore before nightfall.
However, due to global warming and the intensification of melting water in Antarctic glaciers, the stone pillars have been seriously eroded in recent years, and only nine stone pillars remain.
Seaside cabin
On Ins, most visitors to Melbourne will punch in at this seaside cabin, just like taking photos at Sydney Opera House when they arrive in Sydney. Chu Yang chose to drive there with his friends on a Tuesday morning. There are not many tourists and the light is just right. After taking photos, he went swimming in the water. So began a beautiful day.
Summary:
Both Sydney, which is full of vitality, and Melbourne, which is the cultural center, are incomparable to Chu Yang. I like Sydney, which is full of energy and surrounded by mountains and rivers, and Melbourne, which is full of artistic and cultural atmosphere. I wonder which city do you prefer after reading my introduction? Can you leave me a message?
This is the 63rd travel note provided by Chu Yang. I will continue to provide you with my knowledge and experience every week during my trip around the world in the coming year. If you like my article, you can support me by rewarding or praising it. Thank you for your attention. Let Chu Yang take you around the world next year.
