50 Places—Sydney

Best time to go: March to April or October to November

Seduced by the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and lifestyle, Sydney rocked in at number 8 of your top places to see.

Australia’s biggest and oldest city, Sydney has come a long way since its origins as a convenient place to re-locate convicts.

Now a stylish, vibrant and cosmopolitan city, visitors are treated to a delicious blend of stunning modern architecture, sandstone cliffs, fabulous beaches and of course, Sydney Harbour, the city’s most memorable image.

It’s not difficult to see why Sydney Harbour has been described as the most beautiful harbour in the world. Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are the two icons which spring to mind.
The Opera House’s distinctive design incorporating nine overlapping shells caused nightmares in construction, but the outcome was well worth the effort.

Sydney Harbour Bridge, known locally as the 'Old Coat Hanger', does more than provide an impressive landmark. Its important function is joining central Sydney with north Sydney, predominantly a business district carrying thousands of train and car commuters.

Although Aussies work hard, they certainly play hard too, and it is not uncommon for workers to pop in for a spot of surfing on Manly, Bronte or Bondi Beach on the way home from work.

The beaches, bays and coves of Sydney provide a welcome contrast to traditional city life, and visitors are treated to the best of both worlds.

It might be the other side of the globe, but with so much to offer, it is well worth the trip.

Did you know

it takes 10 years and 30,000 litres of paint to coat Sydney Harbour Bridge (apparently Paul Hogan was a SHB painter before he became an actor!)
1400 workers took nine years to build the bridge, but 16 builders died in construction accidents
six million rivets hold the bridge together, and one is said to be solid gold
Sydney Opera House costs $40 million per year to run
the Grand Organ in the Concert Hall has 10,500 pipes, some as big as 10m tall!

50个地方--悉尼

去的最好时间：3月份--4月份或者10月份--11月份

被歌剧院，港湾大桥和生活方式所诱惑，悉尼在你的顶级要去的地方里面排在第8的位置。

澳大利亚的最大和最古老的城市，悉尼由于它的起源是作为一个属于重新布局法的便利的地方，
所以它已经取得了很大的进展。

现在一个时髦的，充满活力的和国际化的城市，游客花时间在令人惊奇的现在建筑，沙岩绝壁，
让人难以置信的海滩，当然，还有悉尼海港等这些城市最难忘的景象得有趣的混合中，

不难理解为什么悉尼海港被描述为这个世界上最美丽的海港。悉尼歌剧院和港湾大桥是两个
跃然心头的图标。悉尼歌剧院与众不同的设计把9个交错的象贝壳一样的建筑结合在一起引起了
建筑中得噩梦，但是这个成果与努力相当。

悉尼港湾大桥，作为“旧衣服架子”的称呼比提供了一种令人印象深刻的陆标在当地更闻名。
更重要的功能是把了中央的悉尼和北面的悉尼连接了起来，最大的影响是一个运送成千的经常乘
火车和轿车往返者的商业区域。

虽然澳洲人工作努力，但是他们玩的也猛烈，对于工人来说在从工作到回家的路上突然出现在
曼利，朗蒂或者邦迪海滩上的冲浪场所也很正常。

悉尼的海滩，海湾和小海湾提供了一种与传统城市对比受欢迎的生活，而且游客受到世界上最好的招待。

虽然也许是地球的另一面，但是由于提供着这么多东西，这个旅行是很值得。

你知道么？
花费了10年和30，000升颜料来给悉尼港湾大桥（显然在保罗.霍根成为一位演员之前，他是一个悉尼港湾大桥的油漆匠！）
1400名工人花了9年时间建造了这座大桥，但是16位建造者死在建筑事故中。
6百万颗铆钉一起支撑着大桥，而且据说有一颗是实金的。
悉尼歌剧院每年的运营费用需要4千万澳元。
在音乐厅里面的大管风琴有10，500个管子，有些有10米那么高大！
