For Lunar New Year travels, see the world from a fresh perspective. In Australia, which has opposite seasons to Taiwan, you’ll find massive architectural wonders like the Sydney Opera House, adorable koalas, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park... Countless spectacular sights will amaze you—this is a trip you can’t miss.

Australia is the largest country in Oceania, shaped by the influence of the vast ocean, while culturally inheriting European traditions and developing its own unique identity.

Sydney in New South Wales is a vibrant and dynamic city full of charm. The most iconic attraction, the Sydney Opera House, is located at Bennelong Point on Sydney Harbour, adjacent to the lush Royal Botanic Garden. Since its inauguration in 1973, it has drawn visitors from around the world every year to witness its splendor and experience Australian lifestyle.

Nearby, the Blue Mountains National Park features expansive landscapes and majestic mountain ranges. Formed from rock sediments over 250 million years ago, erosion has carved the area into dramatic cliffs and gorges. Its breathtaking scenery earned it recognition as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.

To experience a unique journey through the Blue Mountains, take the Scenic Railway. This historic mining railway offers a ride on a former coal mine vehicle, descending 300 meters down a 52-degree incline into the valley. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by magnificent mountain vistas.

To the north of New South Wales lies Queensland, known as the Sunshine State for its mild and pleasant climate—especially beloved by Australians. Its crown jewel is the Gold Coast, with its long stretches of white sandy beaches that make the entire city feel like a holiday paradise.

During the day, enjoy the beach with swimming, sandcastle building, sunbathing, or simply relaxing while watching others play. Alternatively, head to Dreamworld, the Gold Coast’s largest theme park, to experience thrilling rides and immersive Aussie vibes. At night, explore the Natural Bridge National Park glow worm caves, where wild fireflies light up the caverns, creating a magical scene akin to being surrounded by a starry sky—an indescribable natural wonder.

Australia’s unique geology and geography give rise to wildlife very different from the Northern Hemisphere. Beloved by both adults and children, marsupials like koalas and kangaroos are found only in Australia. When you visit, you’ll have the chance to cuddle a koala or watch kangaroos hopping across the plains—the wonders of nature are endless.

Believe it or not? You can also see adorable penguins in Australia. Every evening at Phillip Island Nature Parks in Victoria, southern Australia, the “Little Penguins” put on a live show as they return from the sea to land. Nature enthusiasts shouldn’t miss this.

Also known as fairy penguins or blue penguins, these little creatures stand just 33 cm tall, with iron-blue backs and snow-white bellies—both cute and cool. Find a quiet spot, wait for them to return to their nests, and watch them waddle unsteadily in a truly unique eco-experience.

For air travel from Taiwan to Australia, consider Singapore Airlines, a member of the Star Alliance—especially its A380 flights with a transfer in Singapore. With spacious cabins and internationally acclaimed service, it’s the perfect choice for your flight. The journey to the Southern Hemisphere is anything but dull, thanks to Singapore Airlines’ premium service and the engaging entertainment options on KrisWorld, ensuring a delightful and unforgettable trip.
