第六、七天 

参观悉尼的景点

悉尼是澳大利亚最大的城市，这里气候怡人、环境优美、景色秀丽，夏不酷暑、冬不寒冷，日照充足，雨量丰沛。著名景点主要有悉尼歌剧院、悉尼塔、海港大桥、悉尼海滩(也叫玛丽海滩)、情人港……

悉尼歌剧院(The Sydney Opera House)：世界公认的澳大利亚标志建筑。到悉尼不去悉尼歌剧院，就如同到巴黎没看艾菲尔铁塔，去伦敦未见大本钟一样。歌剧院是悉尼城的象征，澳洲人的自豪，20世纪最伟大、最奇特的建筑之一。想知道了解一下吗？请别忘了读后面的英语短文。

悉尼塔(the Sydney Tower)：号称是南半球高度最高的展望台，整个楼高300公尺，提供游客一个将整个悉尼市区尽收眼底的好机会。从悉尼塔的360度透明观景台眺瞰悉尼市，所有景观一览无遗，北边望去有悉尼港湾大桥、岩石区、悉尼歌剧院、环型码头；西边有达令港各景点，甚至可远观至2000年奥运场地Homebush Bay。东面的著名旅游点包括海德公园、列王十字区、议会大厦、皇家植物园等；往南则有维多利亚女皇购物中心等地。想到里面看看吗？后面的文章将带你去逛逛。

海港大桥(Sydney Harbour Bridge)：它是悉尼早期的象征性建筑，飞架在杰克逊海湾上空，桥全长2,500米，高出水面59米，最高点高出水面134米，桥宽49米，每小时可通行约6,000输汽车，128列火车及4000行人。它的最大功绩在于：把“一分为二”的悉尼“合二为一”，让游人走过大桥。

情人港(DARLING HARBOUR)：情人港是悉尼举行各式各样展览、文艺表演和庆祝活动最集中的地方。这里棕搁婆娑，绿草茵茵，天上有单轨列车，水中有豪华游艇，还有造型奇特的会议中心，超大展幕的IMAX影院和宛若在“海洋世界”里穿行的购物中心。特别值得一提的是，铜铸的2000年奥运会会标也坐落在这里，供游人瞻仰，合影留念。
