I think I've opened my eyes and learned new ways of thinking. Both the learning of English skills in the early stage of the trip and the learning of career planning in the later stage have made me try to think about problems in different ways.

Top 5 Newcastle Experiences
Coastal Walk
Discover Newcastle on foot. Enjoy breathtaking views of all of Newcastle’s beaches and some of our most iconic sites including Fort Scratchley and the ANZAC Memorial Walk.
Harbour Tour
Experience the amazing coastal scenery of Newcastle, with pods of resident dolphins, seabirds, turtles and other marine life. Take advantage of this harbour tour for a unique view like no other.
Ocean Baths
Take a dip in our famous ocean baths. From the famous Bogey Hole to Merewether Baths and the newly renovated Newcastle Baths, you’d be spoilt for choice.
Wildlife Encounter
No trip to Australia is complete without meeting our native wildlife. Meet our furry friends such as koalas and kangaroos, and get the chance to feed them too.
Sand Dunes
Take an adventure on the largest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere. From sand boarding to quad biking, you are sure to enjoy this adrenaline filled activity.
There is an old Chinese saying that traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. This is the biggest thing that this trip has brought me.
Zeng Lichen
Although these two weeks in Newcastle were very short, I deeply felt the free state of life of the local people, I felt their respect for nature, and I also received a lot of kindness from the locals during the trip.
