The Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains is a tour group attraction - it's just three peaks standing together, and it's far less impressive compared to mountains in China. If you're traveling independently and can drive, I recommend going to a different part of the Blue Mountains for hiking. A 3-4 hour hike will take you from the peak to the valley, where you'll see waterfalls, and then back up to the peak again. This is really how the Blue Mountains should be experienced.
