It is the biggest city in Australia, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney. Its warm summer and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants (移民) from overseas. There are three things that make Sydney famous－its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House.
