Sydney Opera House
- Sydney Opera House
· A shell-like sculptural structure built on the harbor, it is a world-renowned performing arts center and one of Sydney's landmark buildings.
· The Opera House appears different at various times and angles; you can see a panoramic view from the Royal Botanic Gardens observation deck.
· The Concert Hall features the world's largest mechanical tracker organ with 10,500 pipes at its front. The entire hall is constructed using Australian timber, faithfully representing Australia's unique style.

Taking a tour inside is definitely worthwhile - you can learn about the Opera House's history and visit the theater and concert halls (though photography is not allowed inside). When we visited, a Chinese orchestra happened to be rehearsing.
Outside the Opera House is a dining promenade, packed with locals enjoying the sea breeze while eating fish and chips and burgers, drinking beer. We noticed that Circular Quay, The Rocks, and the Opera House area are popular gathering spots for Westerners.
