It's quite far from Sydney's city center - we went with a tour group. Overall it was very good. Although it can't compare with the history and culture of China's famous mountains, the scenery has its own unique characteristics. The three different cable car experiences are a nice feature. By the way, these Blue Mountains have nothing to do with Blue Mountain Coffee - they're completely different places.
