Exploring Sydney's Chinatown and Fish Market

2 May

I'm really glad we decided to stay at an AirBnB in Surry Hills. It's really the perfect location to explore Sydney. It's walking distance to the all the popular sights of Sydney. It's also the perfect location for foodies. There are countless of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Surry Hills as a inner city suburb is also quite pretty, with it's colourful terrace houses and corner cafes. It can get pretty rowdy along Oxford Street and Crown Street at night, but I didn't feel unsafe walking around during the day or night.

After breakfast at Le Monde (probably one of my favourites in Surry Hills in the week I was in Sydney, I'll have a future posts on the awesome food in Sydney), we walked towards Chinatown. We didn't spend too much time there though. We checked out Paddy Markets and Market City, then headed to the Sydney Fish Market. It's a must-see for any first timer to Sydney. Apparently it's the largest market of it's kind in the Southern Hemisphere and third largest in the world. We got a little lost making our way there by foot, but we made it in the end. I'm not a big seafood person, but my goodness, you can get just about anything that is from the sea at the market. It's also a bit of a photographer's paradise. The people, the colour, the hustle and bustle. All very photography worthy subjects. You can buy the seafood to take home, as you would expect, but there are a couple of restaurants there that serve fresh seafood to have on site. I'll let the photos do the talking. They are all taken with my Fujifilm X-T10 and the 27mm f2.8.
