General information of Australia

It is very easy to change money in Australia. Banks and exchange bureaus often charge commissions, but the rates will be higher than in airport, hotel and the smaller money exchange shops. It’s sensible to make sure you have Australia currency when left.

There are six states and two territories in Australia. New south Wales’s tourist regions famously include Sydney and surrounds, where urban icons such as the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are within striking distance of the blue Mountains and the Hunter Valley vineyards. Farther north, Queensland has Cairns, the focus of activity for Great Barrier Reef tours, but also the Gold and Sunshine coasts, with world-class beaches. Island-hopping and yacht cruising are a good way to see the Whitsundays, Remote Darwin and the tropical Top End have their own scenic spots. Kakadu National Park is a world Heritage Site, while Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Ayers Rock and the Olgas) and the MacDonnell Ranges epitomize the arid Red Centre. Just as remote are Broome and the Kimberley’s in the north of Western Australia: discover the romance of pearling days and rugged mountain scenery. Busier is Perth, the commercial heart of southeast of Western Australia. Adelaide and the Barossa Valley vineyards have a European charm, though South Australia’s wines are distinctly Australian. Melbourne is cosmopolitan and the rest of Victoria has mountains, desert and the fertile coast. Few international visitors see Tasmania, but its scenery is on a grand scale.

Three Gorges

The scenery of the Gorges was really beautiful and the early morning mist gave the place an eerie but not altogether unpleasant feel.

The first of the three Yangzi Gorges is known as the Qutang Gorge, which, at 8 kilometers long, is the smallest and shortest of the Three Gorges, but contains the fastest water. On the north bank are remains of Warring States Period peoples who buried their dead in coffins set in crevices in high caves along the riverside cliffs. Nine coffins discovered in such crevices include bronze swords and armor from the period. The cliff sides include square holes bored into the rock to hold support timbers for plank roads and scaffolds.

Wu Gorge (Wu Xia) is about 40 km long, with sheer, narrow cliffs on either side rising up to 900 m above the water and sometimes seeming to close over approaching boats. A nearby rock inscription is attributed to Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms period, and the Kong Ming tablet, a large inscribed rock slab at the foot of the Peak of the Immortals. A side trip leads to the Three Little Gorges (Xiao Sanxia) along the Daning River for 33 km, passing the Dragon Gate Gorge and remains of a Qing dynasty road cut into the cliffs.

Xiling Gorge is the longest and deepest of the three at 80 km, with cliffs that rise as high as 4,000 feet. It begins at the town of Zigui, known as the birthplace of the poet Qu Yuan of the late Warring States period (3rd century BC), whose suicide is commemorated by dragon-boat races throughout southern China. In former times this was the most dangerous gorge, negotiated only with arduous efforts by trackers on shore.

ChongQing of China

The “Mountain City” located upper Yangtze River is the youngest municipality of China. Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport is served by flights from Nagoya, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Munich and other Chinese cities, such as Beijing, GuangZhou, ShangHai, TianJin……

Bintan Resort of Indonesia

Last month, we went to Bintan Resort of Indonesia. We stayed in Nirvana Garden, a 4 star hotel. Nirwana Gardens is a truly complete resort destination for you, your family, loved ones and friends. Even getting there is easy – via a 55 minute ride on fast speed catamaran from the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore, followed by coach transfer from the ferry terminal to the resort grounds.

There is really a good place to relax, but if you want to have nice dinner, you have to call the outside restaurant to make an appointment then they will pick you up in hotel’s gate. Otherwise, you may also have dinner inside the hotel; since the resort is far from the city, you’d better hire a car and spent one day in Shopping. The time on the way to shopping will be about 4 hours.

If you go here first, please remember that do not change money to Indonesia money as they accept Singapore dollar. Everything there can be paid by Singapore dollar. That time, we changed the money before we went there; when we pay them, they told us the amount in Singapore dollar, then change to Indonesia money; of course, the exchange rate is lower than the rate we change money.
