Recently, Lonely Planet, an authoritative travel information agency, published a transnational survey report, and obtained a list of the ten most popular tourist countries, namely, Australia, Italy, Thailand, New Zealand, the United States, France, India, Spain, Canada and the United Kingdom.

1. Australia

When you see a huge stone standing on the earth like a flaming heart; When you are in another place on the horizon, you see a lot of sandstone piled up together, just like an ancient city cast by nature; When you see the dome of the Opera House like a white sail slowly emerging in the calm Sydney Harbour, you need not be reminded that this is the beautiful and vast Australia.

Sunshine, beaches, vast inland areas, dense rainforests, beautiful Great Barrier Reef, unique kangaroos and koalas, Queensland's Gold Coast, charming cities and friendly pluralistic society, as well as warm and comfortable humanistic environment, are irresistible temptations for tourists all over the world, and China people who are gradually getting rich are no exception.

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, surrounded by the sea, far away from other countries, and it is the most lonely country in the world. The word AUSTRALIA comes from Latin, which means "unknown southern continent". Australia is the flattest continent in the world, with a land area of 7.7 million square kilometers, the sixth largest country in the world, and the only country in the world that owns the whole continent. The four seasons in Australia are just the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere. The cold winter in China is exactly the hot summer season in Australia, and when the autumn wind begins in Australia, it is the time when China is in full bloom. During the snowy Gregorian calendar Christmas in February in the northern hemisphere, Santa Claus in Australia was wearing a shirt and a light coat.

The first thing worth seeing is Australia's ocean scenery. Mainland Australia is an independent island with a coastline of 36,735 kilometers, which is made up of endless sea sand. Imagine how comfortable it would be to lie in the blue waves, sunshine and beaches! Australia also has the most beautiful underwater world on earth. The Great Barrier Reef, a world natural heritage site, is the largest marine park in Australia, stretching over 2,111 kilometers along the Queensland coast, with the most colorful animal and plant ecological environment on earth. The Ningjialu Reef in Western Australia is the second largest marine park in Australia, covering 5,111 square kilometers of ocean, where whale shark watching activities are world-famous. In Shark Bay, which is also included in the World Natural Heritage, you can even feed wild dolphins by yourself!

In the vast inland areas, the red sand desert, white salt basin, colorful canyons and monolithic boulders are also unique landscapes in Australia. In the remote inland area, Kimberly is the last largest inland wild area in the world, with a length of 421,111 kilometers. There are endless horizons, ancient canyons and beautiful scenery here. Among them, the most worth visiting is Purnululu Lu Lu National Park, which has a unique geographical form and is as spectacular as a beehive. Due to the low temperature in the canyon, the soil was affected, and sand rocks were formed. In addition, the wind and sand erosion since ancient times has formed a strange scene at present.

The population of Australia is 18.6 million, and most of the residents are concentrated in the big cities on the east coast and southeast corner. Australia is also the country with the lowest population density in the world, with only two people living per square kilometer. This population distribution determines that Australian cities are also very distinctive. Sydney, the largest city in Australia, is full of sunshine, joy and color. The lively flavor of Sydney can be felt from its weather, beautiful harbour, luxurious inland areas and charming beaches. The whole city is filled with elegant temperament, gorgeous but not vulgar, very individual. The scenery of Sydney Harbour is intoxicating. You can take a luxury cruise to enjoy the picturesque scenery and enjoy seafood in restaurants on both sides of the strait. Marked by the world-famous Sydney Opera House, it has a strong musical and cultural atmosphere. Under the influence of immigration in the past decades, Sydney has gathered a variety of food cultures, from Greek food to Lebanese food, from Japanese food to Indian food. The Australian diet is characterized by the combination of fresh ingredients and eastern and western cultures. In addition, endless wine, bars and lounges are appetizing.

Australians love outdoor life and know how to enjoy life. When you travel to Australia, you can participate in all kinds of sports and activities, from excitement to leisure and comfort. If you are brave enough, you can climb to the top of the 134-meter-high Sydney Bridge and have a 361-degree view of Sydney Harbour. In Australia, you can also take part in group swimming activities with dolphins. In the blue ocean, it is absolutely a pleasure to have lovely dolphins as companions.

It takes only 1.2 hours to fly from Beijing to Sydney, so you can cross half the world, and then you set foot on a completely different continent. The hardships of the journey can be doubled here. When Australia's beautiful scenery, fine wine, delicious food and, of course, passionate Australian beauties appear in front of you, who can be indifferent?
