Paronella Park

Paronella Park, a Spanish castle park built in the 1930s, is the source of inspiration for the legendary Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki's "City in the Sky". The park is surrounded by lush green rainforest, giving people a feeling of being in a fairy tale world. There are also majestic waterfalls, straight and spectacular forest avenues. The wonderland-like scenery makes the park one of the top three wedding venues in Australia. Behind the building is a Spanish dream story. Spanish Jose In order to realize the dream of building a castle when he was a child, Paronilla came to Australia from Spain to work and live alone. With his lifelong efforts, he created a Spanish castle garden integrated with nature from a wasteland. In addition, Jose was also the first person to introduce hydroelectric technology in Queensland, and today, hydroelectric generators can also provide electricity for the entire park. In the 1970s, under various difficulties, the park was abandoned for nearly 15 years, and Jose's dream was gradually forgotten. The park finally reopened in 1993, and Jose's dream continued once again... The park is located 120 kilometers south of Cairns, and the journey takes about 1.5 hours. The Chinese-language guide in the park will lead visitors into his dream manor, allowing visitors to regain that forgotten dream.
