Holiday in Sydney is a good choice for people trying to get away from cold winter days. You can
spend Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year in Sydney. All hotels in Sydney are also prepared
for business activities. The Christmas spirit is more wonderful when evening falls. Nightlife in Sydney is
full of energy, but during holidays it owns a special taste.
White sandy beaches are located only within a short walk from hotels. You will find beach barbecues (烧烤), surfing, and diving under the sea very enjoyable. There are also public street festivals such as
Chinese New Year between January and February. You need to book hotels in advance because they
are often filled fast.
Running from Christmas to the New Year, numerous musical events are held in different locations,
from hotel restaurants to the Royal Botanical Gardens. Christmas carol (欢歌) performances are free
for visitors to enjoy when the Sydney Youth Orchestra plays at the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Chinese New Year is one of Sydney's annual Attractions. 500,000 people will gather in the city, so if
you are traveling to Sydney, this is a reason to extend your vacations. Hotels near Belmore Park offer
food events during Chinese New Year, and Darling Harbor runs traditional Dragon Boat Races. Others
offer tours to the Sze Yup Temple, a Taoist (道教) Church located in Evergreen.
Seasonal food is also offered at the restaurants, cafes, and room service. In addition, New Year brings
the opportunity to celebrate dining with other guests at your hotel.
