    The sunset at Manly Beach is so beautiful that the entire coastal scenery is shining like gold foil. Every holiday home next to it looks great! I will find time to stay here in the future and spend the whole day watching the sea!

    Darling Harbour (Darling Harbor, also translated as Lovers Harbour) is located in the northwest of Sydney's central city center and is one of Sydney's most famous landmarks. It is 2 kilometers from Sydney Central Station (Central Station) and is connected to Sydney Chinatown (Sydney Chinatown) in Australia. Darling Harbour is a port terminal, green space and complex of buildings, not only Sydney's most colorful tourist and shopping malls, but also a venue for major conferences and celebrations. Darling Harbour is named after NSW's seventh Governor-General, NSW, NSW. The scenery of Darling Harbour is breathtaking. The sea is shining, and colorful boats travel between it, especially at sunset, the embers of the sunset are shining on the sea, and the golden glow is intertwined with the deep blue sea, creating a heady view. Modern high-rise buildings and historic buildings on both sides of the harbour are a perfect reflection of Sydney's unique charm. The hovering seagulls and fresh sea breeze are the best embellishments.

    The beach is dog friendly with some parts. Also popular for kitesurfing. Parking is usually available on the main beach road, but in the summer you may need to park on residential streets, but it's an easy walk to the beach. If you like shelter, there aren't many trees to hide in. Also, if you have a seaweed phobia, be aware that there is a lot of stuff in the water.

    Jervis Bay at the end of South Wales. The scenery is so beautiful that it is beyond description. It was cloudy and drizzling that day, so the photos are a bit dark, but it still can't block the beautiful scenery. Fine yellow sand, blue sea, white clouds, seagulls flying, and a whale watching group ready to set off. Highly recommended.

    The Royal National Park is a very representative place. The scenery of the national park is also quite unique. The small park here is not very large in area. You can experience some very natural things. The visiting projects in the park are also quite good.
