Bamaol listed work group visited several landmark buildings and scenic spots in Sydney at invitation from the Chinese representative of Sydney Mr. Liu Xiao.
The first destination is Sydney QVB queen Victoria building, which is in the middle of Sydney's bustling street, George (George ST), across from the post office building and city hall. It was designed by the famous British designer George McRae and completed in 1898 with the total length of 200 meters. It was originally designed for Britain's queen Elizabeth at Australia's palace, but she never lived here. The ornate palace has now become a tourist experiential shopping central in Sydney, which is connected with the railway station, the nearby shopping center and all kinds of life - oriented shops at first floor. The queen's majesty, majesty and grandeur have long been overshadowed by the heavy business atmosphere.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is followed by, it is the world's largest (but not the longest) steel arch Bridge, which is located in the beautiful port routing and has become a world famous symbol of Australia. As the landmark of the Sydney bridge, the classic combination of Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney opera house has become popular. It stands on the west side of the Sydney opera house and is a transportation hub connecting the north and south of Sydney. Completed in 1932, it costs $200 million and is the largest arch bridge in the southern hemisphere. Australian government hired private security company due to the consideration of terrorism last year with 24-hour patrol and other security measures. Since 1998, the Sydney bridge has been opened to the public. It is the only bridge in the world that allows visitors to climb to the top of the bridge and has never had an accident.
For Australian locals, the historic harbour bridge is more proud than the Olympic park. It is the happiest thing for all holidaymakers to sail out to the sea and bask in the sunshine and to stand at its highest point of harbour. The adventure of the Sydney harbour bridge will take climber 2.5 hours. The climber can enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction of climbing to the top of Sydney's landmark building while overlooking Sydney and the harbour at a 360-degree Angle.
The third scenic spot is Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral, which is the largest church in the southern hemisphere and the spiritual home of the Catholic community in Sydney. It is located near Hyde park in central Sydney and was built in 1885. The "gothic" style of architecture inherits the architectural remains of European medieval cathedrals. The appearance of the church is magnificent because of the impressive spires towering into the clouds, which symbolizes throwing all the burdens.As you going into the church, you will feel like to go into the vasty firmament. Huge columns supports the arched dome, which carves out a space that is like a vast, high, and dazzling hall. In fact, the most fascinating part of the church is the painted glass. Each window portrays a vivid bible story no matter about characters or scenes, which makes you feel like in the heaven, peaceful and quiet in heart.
The New South Wales Art Gallery is one of the most important galleries in Sydney and ranks fourth in the Australian gallery, which is our forth visiting spot. The exterior walls of the museum are decorated with pale orange stone, with a prominent colonnade at the entrance, which has the charm of the ancient Roman temple. A lot of impressionistic painting (oil painting mainly) from Middle Ages to modern times are collected here, Australia aboriginal art, modern art of European and Asian and photography works of art are displayed too, and of course many Chinese collection.
Then the listed work group went to the Sydney royal botanic garden, it is surrounded by Farm Cove and close to the business center, the Sydney opera house, and other important sites, which is the best place to appreciate New Year fireworks in Sydney. It is one of Sydney's most popular tourist attractions.Walking on the green grass in the garden, the heart will unconsciously become joyful and detailed. Chairman Xia Jianguo led the members of the work group to sit on the grass, and accept the spirit of the earth and the gift of nature.
The sixth scenery spot is Sydney Opera House, which is located in the north of the city of Sydney. It is an integrated building that combines theater and hall with a shell roof. Designed by Danish architect jorn uzon, it took 14 years and cost 12 million Australian dollars, which was officially opened on October 20, 1973. The interior of the opera house is decorated with glass from France, with the unique building materials of Australia, and its interior architecture imitates mayan culture and the Aztec temple. Outside of the glass is made by the French double deck glass,totally 700 kinds of size, 2000 pieces.The Sydney opera house is the world famous art performance venue, which holds about 2,400 events a year.
Finally, we arrived at Manly Beach, one of the most beloved beaches in Sydney. The scenery is spectacular and beautiful, tourists can overlook the coastline on the hillside. Standing on the high cliff and watching the waves crashing to the shore, it was very impressive. A lot of people were surfing even though the wind is strong, they took the bull by the horns and dared to challenge nature.
Bamaol is an excellent social enterprise with outstanding enterprise culture and great love. Chairman Xia is like the brave surfer, leading all members of Bamaol withstand the test of time and time again.
