  • Day 1 / 2: Taipei → Hong Kong → Sydney Opera House → Sydney Harbour Bridge → The Rocks Market → Little Italy → New Year’s Eve Fireworks Show

  • Recommended Attraction: Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House is the soul of Sydney. Its design resembles white sails about to set sail, harmonizing beautifully with the surrounding scenery. The white roof consists of over one million Swedish ceramic tiles, specially treated to withstand sea winds. Beneath the roof lie Sydney Opera House’s two main performance venues – the Concert Hall and the Opera Theatre – making it one of the largest performing arts centres in the world.

 
 

Inside the Sydney Opera House, you can enjoy a wide range of artistic performances in both the Concert Hall and the Opera Theatre.

  • Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge (Sydney Harbour Bridge), visible from nearly every corner of The Rocks, is an iconic landmark. With an arch span of 503 metres, a total deck length of 1149 metres, and a height of 134 metres from sea level to the top of the arch, it is the world’s largest steel arch bridge. In recent years, the “BridgeClimb Sydney” experience has become extremely popular. Climbing the bridge is offered during both daytime and evening sessions, open to people of all ages.

 
 

The full BridgeClimb experience takes around 3.5 hours, during which guides share the history of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

  • The Rocks Market

The Rocks Market is Sydney’s most famous market, known for selling a wide variety of handmade art crafts as well as lively and diverse street performances. Every weekend, over 100 stalls gather here, with each white tent offering uniquely styled goods – from beautiful jewellery, delicate cups and plates, Australian paintings and photography, wooden animal carvings, bark and seed crafts, to homemade jams, chilli oil, stuffed toys, and small souvenirs.

 

Most items at The Rocks Market are created by local artists or designers, so selling is often secondary to showcasing creativity.

  • Day 3: Koala Conservation Centre → Hyde Park → St Mary’s Cathedral → Darling Harbour

  • Koala Conservation Centre

The history of koalas in Victoria is unclear. To prevent these animals from dying unnecessarily, locals and scholars established the 60-hectare Koala Conservation Centre. It not only provides koalas with ample food and a safe habitat, but also allows visitors to observe them up close along specially designed walking trails.

 
 

Cute koalas are often fast asleep, and when they wake up, their favourite food is tender eucalyptus leaves.
