Is there any wrong with the following sentence?
As Australia locates in the south of the world just opposite China, and there are so many different between the two countries, I want to go to Australia to find a very different world, and I think it will be very exacting.

The sentence is long and confusing. It will be a much clearer communication if you eliminate the commas, and write 4 separate sentences, like this.
Also, it is an error to write that Australia "locates"; because actually, Australia does not do that. No Country "locates" itself. This is how you would write to communicate these ideas.
#1 Australia is located in the south of the world just opposite China.
#2 There are so many differences between the two countries.
#3 I want to go to Australia to see a very different world.
#4 I think it will be very exciting.
Do not write in English with the misunderstanding that all different ideas and thoughts should be mixed together in a single sentence.
. Different thoughts and different statements require their own sentences.

Yes, the words "locates", "opposite" and "different" are not the right choice.
There's also a punctuation error. See if you can find it. ;)
I'm not sure if the last word was really what you meant:
