Sydney Attractions Pass in Sydney
I chose Sydney Tower, Zoo, and Aquatic Pavilion from three of the four. I didn’t check the information before going. It was amazing when I visited the Aquatic Center. One floor after another is much larger than the buildings that can be seen outside. Unfortunately, there is not much time reserved. He reluctantly left until he had to retreat.

360 Bar and Dining at Sydney Tower
We booked a 3 course meal and got a discounted price from Klook. There’s a good variety in the menu and food quality is great. Window seating is not guaranteed unless you book a 5 course degustation menu but we’re lucky that we were given a window seat. It was really nice to see the sunset and the night skyline of Sydney. Good value for money. Friendly and accommodating staff.

Sydney Opera House Guided Walking Tour
A great experience. The one-hour content walked into several main exhibition spaces. As long as there is no rehearsal room on the day, the guide will take us to the tour and introduce us with due diligence. The guide will not only introduce the building of the opera house. In addition to the background and craftsmanship, we also took us to admire the Sydney Bridge in a few corners that ordinary people would not enter, so that even children can have a full experience.

Sydney Tower Eye Ticket in Sydney
For some reason, I did not check my ticket and let me go directly to the express elevator, which meant that the ticket was useless. I gave it to a Hong Kong girl going to Sydney in Canberra every few days. The scenery is beautiful and you can see the aircraft carrier, but I know a lot of foreign friends. I was in the city where I had walked by the sea. It was worth a visit.

Sydney Tower Buffet Revolving Restaurant
It is very convenient to buy e-tickets on klook. Go upstairs from the Westfield shopping mall and redeem the seats at the relevant counters. Then take the elevator upstairs to enter the restaurant inside the Sydney Tower. It will not be too troublesome! The ticket price is cheaper than buying on-site, and it is more cost-effective. You can experience 360-degree views and all-you-can-eat oysters. Although there are not as many types of food as the buffet restaurant in Taiwan, the night view is invincible~ a pleasant experience~

The Little Hand Stirred Jam Shop Hampers with Australia Wide Delivery
I visited The Little Hand Stirred Jam shop in Berrima on my last trip to the Kangaroo Valley and absolutely loved it! As I couldn’t get back there before Christmas I thought the isolation box would be the perfect gift idea as I could make up a few small hampers and keep a few items for myself. My delivery arrived quickly and perfectly packaged with no issues at all. Absolutely love their products and would recommend to anyone who is thinking about buying a few things
