Spring is in full bloom—embrace the sun-drenched capital of the Southern Hemisphere

In Brisbane, known as the "Capital of Sunshine," besides enjoying the city’s charming classical European flair, the itinerary also includes a visit to the iconic Australian attraction, the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where you can hug these national treasures for photos and even create your own personalized calendar. Here, you can also explore the world’s largest coral reef system—the Great Barrier Reef (Reef). Listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1981, the reef stretches over 2,000 kilometers along Queensland’s coast. Don a wetsuit and dive into the ocean to swim alongside schools of fish through cliffs, tunnels, and caves, immersing yourself in the vibrant underwater wonderland.

For a vacation that combines the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan city with the relaxation of beachside leisure, the bay-surrounded dynamic metropolis of Sydney will not disappoint. Unlike other Australian cities, Sydney’s diverse cultural life makes you feel like you’re in a United Nations gathering. Start with a classic harbor tour to visit iconic attractions like the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Garden, and Museum of Contemporary Art, or take a ferry ride to enjoy the scenic views. Additionally, you can visit the Blue Mountains National Park, one of Australia’s representative attractions. The park is famous for its surreal light blue haze, caused by the release of oil particles from vast eucalyptus trees. Hiking, mountain biking, or rock climbing are all great ways to experience this million-acre forest bath.
