Katoomba

Australia

Good for nature lovers and those who like a relaxed pace, not for those who want city buzz or are time-crunched. Best time to go is autumn, when it's cool and not sticky. Budget around 800-1200 CNY. Local transport is easy, short travel between areas. Must-see: Three Sisters and Blue Mountains National Park. Skip the Scenic Railway – pricey and not worth it. Avoid buying souvenirs near the park, they're overpriced and low quality.
