SYDNEY


Hello beautiful people! So if you guys dont know yet, im in Sydney for my summer holiday. This blog post is about the places you MUST visit while youre here. These are just a few (and my favourite) of the places we've been to during our 3 weeks here. I'll be flying to Gold Coast after and another blog post will be up for that.

MADAMME TUSSAUDS 
Ive been to Madamme Tussauds in Hong Kong but I really enjoyed this one better since ir had more of the popular people in it. Number wise, the one in Hong Kong has more wax figures in it.
(Taylor was one of the reasons why this was the better one)



BLUE MOUNTAINS
the Blue Mountains are about an hour away (by car) from Sydney but it was really worth it. 
Prepare some thermal clothes because the temperatures may drop to 8°. 
We hiked around 20 minutes to get to this waterfall at the bottom

We basically spent the whole day there and just passed by the Macquarie shopping centre to grab some food before heading back home. 



THE ROYAL EASTER SHOW
This was literally the best thing. I had the best easter this year in Sydney. Back home, we usually just go easter egg hunting and thats it but here its a huge deal. The easter show may be quite pricey but its so worth it. 
Make sure to stay til the end where the best part is, the firework show. They also have these things called showbags which are these goodie bags that contains tons of products but are being sold at a lower price. I got this model co cosmetic kit that came with a complete set of make up, a make up kit and a bag that originally costs $180 but I got it at a showbag price of $25! Great deal right? There are more stuff there more on for kids but there are also showbags with wonka, cadburry and other food. 


MANLY BEACH
These are the perfect places to get a tan. There may be lots of people but it isnt uncomfortable since both beaches have a huge vicinity 


SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE & HARBOUR BRIDGE
Whats your trip to Sydney without visiting the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge?
Seeing it in pictures is so different from seeing it upclose and actually entering it. 
I was really mesmerised when I saw it. One tick out of my bucket list! 😍



QUEEN VICTORIA'S BUILDING
This was the first mall made here in Sydney. It really has a classy structure inside and out
Being inside it made me feel like being in Hogwarts! There is a variety of brands found in the mall.  Victoria's Secret can also be found here so someone kinda hoarded again.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH
This is one of the best cathedrals ive ever seen! It made me feel like I was in Vatican when I was in it
When we visited, they were holding a mass and it was in Latin so it made me feel even more like i was in Italy. 
Hey look at the classy stairs again.


UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY
One of the main purposes of my trip to Sydney was to check out universities here. We visited University of Sydney and I got wonderstrucked when I saw the campus.
Hey I wont mind studying here y'know. 
Okay so this may be a university but it has really great buildings. Nobody actually cares if you take some selfies around. Its actually normal to see couples taking wedding photos around.


HYDE PARK
Hyde Park is actually a huge place and an ideal place to chill.
This is my favourite spot in Hyde Park! Its somehow like a secret hidden garden with a gate. There are benches on the side where you can sit down and enjoy the view of St. Mary's Cathedral.


TARONGA ZOO 
Taronga Zoo is around 30 minutes away from the city. Its worth going to because theres a huge variety  of animals!
Look at the adorable little koala!
There are also tons of shows to see like the bird show, the sea lion show and so much more. You'll also have a great view of both the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera house from here.


Those are the favourite places ive visited during my three week stay here in Sydney. We visited Canberra but I didnt enjoy it that much and considering the 3-4 hour travel just to get there. I really loved Sydney so much. I travel every year but I can say that this was the country ive enjoyed the most so far! I'd miss this city so much.  I really recommend visiting this city! Im currently in Gold Coast now and typing these things make me miss Sydney so much! Cant wait to hopefully be back for good! Au revoir, Sydney! You'll always hold a special place in my heart
