Three stunning views of Sydney

As Australia's oldest and most stylish city, beautiful Sydney has its own charm. This seaport city draws tourists with spacious beaches, beautiful yachts, top-quality food, crazy shopping and fascinating arts and culture. Whether it's the iconic Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, or the national parks around the city, the capital of New South Wales has a way of catering to those with different interests, and never fails to impress. Here are three sights to see in Sydney. Let's have a peek!

Sydney Opera House

Located by the water at Bennelong Point, the Sydney Opera House is one of the most famous buildings in the world. It was designed by the Danish architect Yohn Uzan. The sloping white roof makes the building look like a giant ship about to set sail.The opera house was completed in 1973. It took 16 years and cost more than $100 million. A 2004 renovation added a glass wall to the reception hall of the Opera House, allowing visitors to view the harbour through the glass wall. The Sydney Opera House includes not only an opera house that seats 1,500 people, but also a concert hall and three theatres, as well as bars and restaurants.

The Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of 20th century architecture. Its significance lies in its unparalleled design and construction, its remarkable engineering achievements and technological innovation, and its status as a world-renowned architectural icon. It was a bold and visionary experiment that had a lasting impact on the emerging architecture of the late 20th century. Utzon's original design concept and his unique approach to construction inspired the collective creativity of architects, engineers and builders. Arup's engineering achievements made Yohn Utzon's vision a reality. The design represents an extraordinary interpretation and response to the environment of Sydney Harbour. The Sydney Opera House is also of outstanding universal value for its achievements in structural engineering and building technology. The building is a great artistic monument and statue belonging to the whole society.

Bondi beach

Just minutes from Sydney's business center, Bondi Beach's golden sand contrasts with red-roofed houses and green meadows. A walking corridor runs along fine sand that circles the crescent-shaped beach. The beach attracts people to swim, surf and sunbathe. Strong waves and strong tidal currents at the southern end of the beach provide a perfect setting for surfers. The beach near the grassy north end is a favorite for swimmers and sunbathers. Bondi Beach is well patrolled and equipped with changing rooms, and the neighborhood is full of cafes, bars and shops.

Queen Victoria Building

The Queen Victoria Building is a five-story shopping mall that houses nearly 200 retailers. Designed by renowned architect George McRae in 1898, the building was originally used as a market and concert hall, and later as office space for tenants, but fell into disuse during the Great Depression. Today the Queen Victoria Building has been restored to its original style and is being used again as a shopping centre. The beautiful Romanesque building has a glass dome supported by copper frames, decorative iron railings, and lots of stained glass Windows.

Sydney tower

At 1,073 feet above sea level, the Sydney Tower is the tallest building in the city, offering visitors a 360-degree panoramic view of the compact metropolis, harbour and the city's surrounding landscape. Designed by architect Donald Crohn and opened to the public in 1981, the 260-meter tower offers bird's eye views of the surrounding buildings from an observation deck. The tower houses three restaurants, one of which is a rotating restaurant. There is also a 4D cinema in the tower, which adds to the viewing experience with special-effects winds and bubbles.
