To be honest, I had no real expectations for the Royal Botanic Gardens before visiting - I thought it would just be a simple park with extra plants and trees. However, this garden completely transformed my understanding of what a botanical garden could be. Perhaps I was biased by the commercialized botanical gardens back home.

The Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney truly amazed us - it absolutely lives up to its "Royal" name. Just walking through the gardens instantly lifted our spirits. The gardens are divided into several smaller sections, featuring trees of all shapes and sizes - tall and short, thick and thin, in various colors - offering constant surprises to visitors.

In the exhibition area, the flowers bloom in brilliant colors, creating a dazzling display of purple, red, and every hue imaginable! Thanks to its central city location, the gardens create perfect photo opportunities with their mix of greenery, blue skies, white clouds, and city buildings in the background. You can also find excellent spots here to photograph the Sydney Opera House.

It's always delightful to see groups of people relaxing here - a beautiful picture of harmony between humans and nature.
