During the journey, a lot of people will say, "come here, why don't you go and see it?" The periphery of Sydney is like this and stays in the heart of the tourist. But in fact, her beauty needs to be explored with great care to feel. I never want to follow the path that other people must go, but I prefer to go to the place where information is scarce and find another way to small places. To reap a unique accident. In the vicinity of Sydney, whether it's the natural mystery of the Blue Mountain, the drunken pastoral Hunter Valley, the outdoor extreme lovers' paradise of Wolonggang, or the sea-and-sky dolphin habitat of the port of Stephen and the port of Javier Bay, All blend together the various customs and customs of Australia, it is worth every traveler to find out ~
First, Blue Mountain National Park
The most deserving of all the natural mysteries of Sydney
Graph BY@cachow
If I was asked where was the best place to go around Sydney, I would not hesitate to go to the naturally mysterious [Blue Mountain], where eucalyptus leaves, because of the eucalyptus trees on the mountain, were always full of fragrance, reflected by the sun. This aroma of volatile vapours envelops the entire blue mountain and sky with a blue smog, in addition to millions of hectares of dense forests, sandstone cliffs, canyon falls and thousands of years of indigenous culture. So it was hailed by the Queen of England as "the most beautiful place in the world."

Donkey friendly-three hiking routes recommended
In the hearts of hikers, Blue Mountain is an unparalleled hiking resort. So, this time, I've found three of the most worthwhile hiking trails for my friends, which are difficult and easy, but they can surprise you.
【LEURA CASCADES】
Figure BY@Ann Yu M. @ White fork
[distance] 1-4.5 km
[difficulty]
[along the way] Bridal Veil Falls, cat magpie, Wompa pigeon
From Leura Cascades, you have several routes to choose from, and if you want to go a little further, go to Fern Bower Circuit and walk in a circle of 4.5km. If you are a friend who has just joined the hiking circle, you may feel a little challenging. But on the way you can see the thrillers of the cliff and the lush, beautiful scenery of Jamison Valley, who remembers the tiredness just now? You can also choose to go to Echo Point and Leura Forest, cat magpies and wompa pigeons to meet you there. But don't rush out. There are tall eucalyptus trees all around Leura Cascades, but a great picnic place. Why don't you have a meal (with your own dry food), take your bathing suit after you eat and drink, and take a shower in the water at nearby Bridal Veil Falls and Leura Falls,. Or take a break on the waterfall rocks, prepare for plenty of energy and happiness, and then walk more joyfully.
【CLIFF TOP WALKING TRACK】
Graph BY@cachow
[distance] 6 km / 3.5 hours round trip
[difficulty]
[along the way] the yellow-tailed black parrot, the king's parrot.
The starting point of Cliff top walking track is the end of Govetts Leap Lookout, to Evans Lookout, as the name implies, you go through the cliffs and experience the limitless scenery of Grose Valley as your heart speeds up as you stroll through the dangerous peaks. This route is most suitable for observation of flowers and birds, yellow-tailed black parrot and king parrot are all frequent visitors on the road, now, the spring flowers are spreading all over the mountains, white-necked honey-eating birds to join the crowd, it is easy to see. In fact, the choice of winter to walk this route is also very appropriate, because all the way to the sun, think about the body warm especially comfortable, interested friends may wish to come to experience. In addition, friends who like waterfalls can stop at Barrow Lookout and enjoy the beautiful waterfall. When you get to the finish line, take out your lunch, have a full meal, and then go back. Is there anything happier than that?
【GREAT ROUND WALK】
[distance] 6 km / 2 hour round trip
[difficulty]
The most beautiful Blue Mountain
Scenic World's Great Round Walk doesn't take you long to walk, but there's a lot of scenery along the way. Scenic Skyway, Prince Henry Cliffwalk, Giant Staircase and Federal Pass- are all classic views of Sydney's Blue Mountain. You can first ride the Scenic Skyway with Unlimited Discovery Pass to East Station- if you think it's not new to cross the valley at 270m mid-air, I'd like to remind you that the car is working! Body! Too! Ming! Yes! Look down through the glass floor, the foot is not to see the end of the abyss, 360-degree no dead angle to watch Katoomba Falls, the Three Sisters and Jamison Valley, to see how exciting! Get off the cable car and follow the route to Echo Point, and shout a salute to the three Sisters! It's a lot more fun than a dry picture with a group, isn't it? Then take a thousand steps down the Grand Stairway ladder to the bottom rainforest. After the last part of Federal Pass's return to the station and back in the steepest train in the world, the ups and downs of the journey are as simple as that.
Sightseeing-regular tour itinerary recommended
Whether it's a train or a self-drive to Blue Mountain, if you don't want to walk through the Blue Mountain for a day, suggest Katumba (Katoomba) as the starting point, take the sightseeing bus in the scenic spot directly to stop 12, Scienic World, and get off. Then take the 45-degree tilted forest train (Railway) to the tropical rain forest, take a 30-minute walk to explore the natural rainforest, and then take the cable car (Cableway) back to the ground. Finally, the high-altitude glass cabin (Skyway) is the first cable car in the world to use glass floor. It will take you 90 meters from the ground to overlook the Blue Mountain three sister peaks and other blue mountain markers. Through the glass bottom of the cabin, you can see the view of Jamison Valley, all of which are picturesque. Get off the cable car and walk to the Echo Angle viewing platform to enjoy the beauty of the three sisters. Next to this is the Indigenous Center (very small, on the negative first floor of the shopping mall, where lunch can be settled), which will allow you to return directly to the parking area or take the bus to train Station in the town of Katoomba. If you have plenty of time to continue to go to the town of leura, enjoy the waterfall all the way, and finally leave from the train station in the town of leura (note the last train flight, one hour).
Tips：
If you are a lazy person, direct choice of one-day tour is the simplest, nothing to do, English tour will basically include hotel pick-up and scenic spot tickets (the price is slightly higher, usually a small group, foreign tour guides are also a little more fun), The Chinese regiment city center designated site collection, tickets are purchased at the tour guide, can be selected according to their own point of play.
