【推荐1】Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world’s greatest cities. Here are some things you should do and see in Sydney.
Explore Sydney’s hottest neighborhood
Many big-ticket attractions can be found in or around the Circular Quay area, right by the port. Here, you can get on ferries(轮渡) to faraway islands or go exploring on foot with the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary all nearby.
Take side trips
Popular among outdoor types, the rough Blue Mountains—about two hours by train west of the city—promises winter skiing, excellent hiking and kangaroo sightings. Walking through the national park, travelers will watch forests, waterfalls, natural caves, small villages and rock formations.
The Hunter valley, just a two-hour drive north of Sydney, is Australia’s oldest wine region. Most vineyards(葡萄园) are family-owned, focusing on small production. Wine is more personal here.
Stay in style
The classic Langham Hotel is located just west of Circular Quay, offering easy access to the famous port.
As you explore its beautiful corridors(走廊), look for contemporary artworks from around the world—The Langham Hotel has the largest art gathering (more than $1 million worth) in Australia.
Meanwhile, those looking for a more relaxed experience can go camping on Cockatoo Island—just a quick boat ride from Circular Quay.

 VANCOUVER:YOUR OPINION! | |
| Should Vancouver have free wireless internet? | |
| Vancouver is thinking about providing a Wi-Fi network for the downtown area. The city hasn’t decided yet, but the network will probably be free. What do you think of the idea? Post your comment! | |
It’s a good idea—but I’m sure it won’t be free. Other cities have already tried it and it hasn’t stayed free. Most of them charge about $10 a month. But people are happy to pay because then they can use Wi-Fi in their gardens or in Wi-Fi lifts. I’ve already said this, but I’ll say it again: Wi-Fi is a good idea, but I’ve never heard of a city where it’s stayed free for very long.
Comment by Mike
I’ve just read Mike’s post. Unbelievable! I don’t want to write emails from a lift or my garden! I think this is going too far. There are other things the city government could spend them oney on, aren’t there?—for example, more sidewalks or a better bus system.
Comment by Anna
I agree with Anna. A lot of people have already bought Wi-Fi for their homes—they don’t need it in the street, do they? Spend the money on things for teenagers! The city hasn’t built enough schools or parks yet.

【推荐2】Acton Scott Historic Working Farm
About
Acton Scott Historic Working Farm is a wonderful visitor attraction for all the family to enjoy. Founded by Thomas Acton to keep alive the19th-century farming practices he grew up with, the farm was the first of its kind and has been much copied since. Thomas’s foresight has helped to preserve many traditions that might otherwise have been lost to modern-day farming techniques.
The Historic Working Farm offers an interesting insight into rural life at the turn of the 19th century, as farm life unfolds daily while the land around is worked by heavy horses. There are daily demonstrations of period skills, providing a picture of life as it might have been on a Victorian country estate. Special events and traditional craft (技艺) and trade courses to learn about the forgotten skills of the past run throughout the year.
The Old School, originally built by Frances Stackhouse Acton in the late 19th century to educate children, has been recently restored and is now an attractive cafe. It serves home-cooked hot and cold meals, snacks and drinks.

【推荐3】Heritage sites are universally considered as the places where you can learn about the history of human development and social evolution. Therefore, if you have a keen interest in meeting your curiosity about it, the following on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List will be a must-check list for you.
Dinosaur Provincial Park, Canada
The park is best known for its extensive fossil beds, within which 35 species of dinosaurs from about 100 to 65 million years ago have been identified. There are also fossilized remains of fish, reptiles, and amphibians. The area was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
Salonga National Park, Congo
This is the largest reserve in Congo, covering more than 14,000 square miles. The park was established in 1970. The thick forest provides habitats for various animals like parrots, elephants and monkeys. Park visitors observe the animals from motorized river boats. The park was entered into the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1984.
Hadrian’s Wall, England
This is a Roman barrier that guarded the border of Britain. Hadrian (ruled 117-138 CE) went to Britain in 122 and was the first to build a wall, 80 miles long, to separate the Romans from the barbarians (野蛮人). There was no intention of fighting from the wall top; the soldiers there were trained to encounter the enemy in the open. In 1987, Hadrian’s Wall was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
Easter Island, Chile
This place is famous for its huge stone statues. The first European visitors, the Dutch, named it Easter Island in memory of their day of arrival. The small and hilly island was formed by volcanoes. Easter Island was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1995.
