Six hundred and fiftieth chapters every family has this scripture
The urban area to the north of the bridge is called Beicheng District, and the urban area to the south is called the Central Business District (CBD). As for how many urban areas there are in Sydney, Hong Tao didn't understand until he left, because there are as many as 38 administrative divisions, as well as local people.
According to the customary classification, it becomes even more confusing when they are intertwined, just like the Australian English pronunciation and words.
"On the left is the undersea tunnel, and on the right is the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It will be faster to take the tunnel, but it will be slower to take the iron bridge. Which way do you want to go?" It is obviously not Paul's first time in Sydney, because he does not use GPS navigation when driving.
Baguai found the road to the Iron Bridge very accurately.
"Let's go to the iron bridge. You can't see anything in the tunnel. We're not in a hurry." Eileen chose the bridge.
The Sydney Harbor Bridge is a large iron bridge, similar to the Yellow River Bridge, except that the Sydney Harbor Bridge is a single-hole bridge, which means there are no piers under the bridge, with a span of more than 500 meters, directly across Port Jackson below. If
Nowadays, it may not be too difficult to design and build, as long as you spend enough money. However, this bridge was built in the 1830s. According to the level of mechanical construction at that time, it should still be very impressive.
However, apart from the fact that it was built a long time ago, Hong Tao didn't realize there was much to see about this bridge. Tickets were actually sold under the bridge tower on the south side to go up there. Only a fool would go up there!
There is a relatively familiar scenery to see on the left side of the bridge, the white Sydney Opera House. It is said that benevolent people have different opinions. Some people say it looks like a sail, some people say it looks like petals, but no matter how Hong Tao looks at it, he always sees it.
It feels like the oysters lying on the rocks. Whenever the waves hit, the oysters will stand up on their shells, which looks exactly like this opera house.
"Do you want to go to the Opera House? If so, we will turn left to Hyde Park." Paul is not only a good driver, but also a good tour guide. Whenever he encounters a well-known scenic spot, he will definitely ask everyone for their opinions.
Never make your own decisions.
"Is there a fee for visiting?" Hong Tao was the first to respond.
"It should be a few dozen Australian dollars per person. I don't know the details." Paul looked back at Hong Tao in surprise. In his habitual thinking, a person with Hong Tao's wealth should not care about it.
Tickets cost tens of Australian dollars.
"Then I won't go. I don't have any feelings about art. By the way, don't go to any places like churches, museums, art galleries, etc. It's best not to go to shopping malls. Is there any other distinctive place left?
"?" Hong Tao didn't care whether there was any contempt in Paul's eyes, and expressed his wishes with his fingers. As for the opinions of Irene and Katie, he represented them.
"Then what else is left? Let me put it this way, apart from the beach, the only place you can visit is the Blue Mountain. The beach is right in front of our station. Why not go to the Blue Mountain to have a look." Paul's aesthetic appreciation of Hong Tao
I feel deeply regretful and have recommended another place.
"Blue Mountain? Is it the Blue Mountain of Blue Mountain Coffee?" Hong Tao became a little interested when he heard the name.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you come out and embarrass us! That Blue Mountain is in Jamaica..." Katie was already very unhappy when she heard that Hong Tao had rejected all the shopping malls. Then she heard such a rustic answer from Hong Tao.
, can’t help but vent.
"Nonsense, I don't drink coffee. Why do I need to know where the Blue Mountain is? Do you know what kind of tea is produced in Huangshan?" Hong Tao immediately launched a counterattack. When it comes to bickering, Irene and Katie are no match for each other. It's a pity.
It's because they usually don't give Hong Tao this chance, and they won't fight until they argue.
"Huangshan produces Maofeng, and you even bought it for Sam. Even if I don't drink tea, I know it!" Eileen saw that Katie had asked Hong Tao to teach her a lesson, and immediately started to help her and Hong Tao quarrel together.
"Hey hey hey, you are the rubbish! You sisters are all rubbish. Huangshan produces several famous teas. Maofeng is just one of them, can you name the second one?" Hong Tao said in every sentence.
With the trap, Erin just fell into it.
"And...and jasmine tea!" Irene was really confused by the question. For an American girl who grew up drinking coffee, even if she married a Chinese, her understanding of China was limited to Hong Tao.
These things happened.
"Hahahahaha, jasmine tea! That kind of tea is artificially smoked. It's not the name of the place of origin, it's just the processing method. Katie, do you have anything else to add?" Hong Tao turned back triumphantly and pointed at Kai who was sitting behind him.
Ti and Irene are making faces, they are trying to kill them all!
"We are ladies and we don't want to get entangled with a bumpkin. This will lower our IQ. Mr. Paul, are you right?" Katie knew that she and her sister had fallen into a trap again. If there were no outsiders, a fight would break out.
, but with Paul here, it’s hard to do anything.
"Yes, this is a battle between ladies and scoundrels, meaningless." Paul agreed while driving.
The name Blue Mountains is very poetic and can arouse people's endless reverie, but if you really see it, you will feel nothing. This mountain range is located 2 hours west of Sydney. It is a national park with a large area.
And they don’t charge tickets, only
The price of taking the cable car. The reason why Blue Mountain is called Blue Mountain is because there are more eucalyptus trees here. Under the refraction of the morning sun and fog, it turns a little blue. Once it reaches noon, you can't tell whether it is blue or not.
Yes, it's just an ordinary mountain range.
The mountains here are not worth mentioning at all. The only feature is that the tops of the mountains are all flat. Standing on the mountains, you will feel that this is not a mountain range, but a ravine, just like going to the Loess Plateau. I have been to Mount Tai, Mount Huang, and Mount Lu.
If people from Changbai Mountain come here, they will definitely feel famous.
It's not true. I dare to call it a scenic spot with such a height. Indeed, the famous scenic spot here is called the Three Sisters Peak, which means three weathered and eroded peaks standing on the top of a mountain. This kind of thing has reached Yunnan and Guizhou areas.
If you look back, you can find 5 sisters or 7 brothers.
There are three cable car lines going up the mountain. It costs AU$12 per person to ride all of them. It only costs AU$12 per person to take one line. Now that you are here, of course you have to ride them all. See Katoomba Falls, Impossible World, and Jamison Valley.
At first glance, of course, it was limited to taking the cable car. Hong Tao was determined not to go to places where walking was necessary. Whoever wanted to go could go.
"Why does Carl come to Sydney every year? Does he have friends here?" Sister Eileen went to take pictures near the waterfall. Hong Tao didn't want to go, and Paul didn't plan to go either, so the two of them waited at the cable car station. Hong Tao
Thinking about Carl again, Hong Tao is actually not a very gossipy person, but smoking outdoors is not allowed in Australia. There are basically no places to smoke in parks like this, so in order to resist the toxicity of nicotine, Hong Tao can only talk more.
"I didn't know it at first, but after I came here a few times, I realized that there is a gay festival here every April, right on Oxford Street in the city center. There will be a parade and various performances.
Gays from all over the world will come here to participate." Since Hong Tao already knew everything, Paul would no longer hide it.
"Then the Sydney government doesn't care?" This is the first time Hong Tao has heard of gay parades and performances.
"It's legal here, and it's the mainstream culture. You should go around the city and walk into a bar, it's probably a gay bar. There are also newspapers published by gay organizations, gay help and consultation centers, and gay tourism associations.
What, in New South Wales, it is legal for men to have sex with the same sex if they are over 18 years old and for women over 16 years old, this damn law!" Paul seemed to have come here to find Karl, and he was influenced by what he heard and saw.
I also learned a lot about homosexuality.
"Then you still leave Carl here? Why don't you take him to Hobart in advance?" Hong Tao was a little confused by Paul's behavior.
"I originally wanted Carl to travel with you so that he wouldn't have time to fool around, but his secret was discovered by Katie in advance, so I didn't have the nerve to ask you for help." Paul shrugged.
There is nothing I can do.
"Hey, you're too polite. You told me earlier. We can leave today instead of waiting until tomorrow. Is there anything interesting here in Sydney?" Hong Tao felt that Paul was really a bit of a gentleman, so he broke his teeth.
You will never let outsiders laugh when you swallow it.
"Beach, surfing, sailing...I can't think of anything else." Every time Paul said something, Hong Tao shook his head to express his displeasure.
"Then let's set off tomorrow morning. I'll call Carl later and call him back. I told him that we should go there in advance to adapt to the environment and prepare for the competition." Hong Tao felt a little sympathetic to Paul. Although he was a successful person in his career, he was a success in his career.
He failed very much on the issue of offspring. I heard from Eileen that he had no children, and his second wife had left him long ago. Now he has such a nephew. It is really difficult for every family to read.
Still different.
"No problem, I'll bother you then." Paul was not in a high mood when talking about Karl.
"You're welcome. Then go back and change your ticket. I hope there will be a flight at a suitable time. When I went to the Great Ocean Road, the hotels were all full. The locals said that it is the peak tourist season and there are still high school students graduating.
Ji." Hong Tao quickly told Paul the information he had heard.
"We don't take flights, so you don't have to worry about air tickets." After listening to Hong Tao's words, Paul had a sly smile on his face.
"Then what should we take? Ferry? Is it too slow?" Hong Tao has seen the location of Hobart. It is on the island of Tasmania, more than 1,000 companies away from Sydney.
"Let's keep it a secret for now. I have a surprise for you tomorrow morning." Paul shook his finger.
