About 100 kilometers west of Sydney lies the famous Blue Mountains National Park, a World Heritage site. It's said that the mountains are covered with numerous eucalyptus trees, and the oil droplets that evaporate from their leaves create a blue haze when refracted in the air, giving the mountains their name. Whether shrouded in mist or bathed in sunlight, the mountains are always covered in a light blue haze, making them exceptionally beautiful and mysterious. However, on rainy and foggy days, only the "mysterious" part remains.
