Melbourne Travel Sharing~

Just returned from Melbourne, and I can't wait to share my travel experiences with you all. Let's start with the advantages of Melbourne~ First of all, it has an incredibly diverse range of attractions. The Great Ocean Road is simply a paradise on earth! Standing on the edge of the cliff, watching the waves constantly crashing against the rocks, the grandeur of it all is indescribable. And the Twelve Apostles, standing quietly in the ocean, seem to be telling ancient stories. The penguin parade on Phillip Island is just too cute! Watching those little penguins waddle back from the shore, my heart was melting. There are also many places in Melbourne's city center that fascinate me. Flinders Street Station, with its ancient architectural style, makes me want to take a few photos every time I pass by. St. Paul's Cathedral is even more majestic and solemn; the moment I walked in, I felt my soul being purified. And the State Library of Victoria, reading and studying there is simply a pleasure, the rich academic atmosphere is intoxicating. Melbourne's cultural and artistic atmosphere is really amazing! Every piece of street graffiti is so creative, I feel like I'm walking in a giant art gallery. Various museums and art galleries also feasted my eyes, where I saw many exquisite artworks and felt the diverse charm of culture. I also particularly like the pace of life here. Unlike big cities that are so busy and tense, people can leisurely drink coffee in cafes or sunbathe and read on the lawns of parks. I followed the local rhythm, slowed down, and enjoyed this tranquility and comfort. And the food is amazing! Whether it's Western cuisine or Asian food, you can find something very authentic. I tasted all kinds of snacks at the Queen Victoria Market, it was truly a feast. However, there are some things about Melbourne that I find less than perfect. The weather is incredibly changeable! One day I went out when it was sunny, and then it started raining, making me scramble to find rain gear. So, when going to Melbourne, you must always check the weather forecast and bring several different outfits. Also, in terms of transportation, it can get a bit congested during peak hours, and if you're driving, you have to get used to left-hand driving, which can be a bit tricky at first. Additionally, during the peak tourist season, there are so many people, especially at popular attractions like the Great Ocean Road, so you must book tickets and accommodation in advance, or it could be quite troublesome. But overall, Melbourne is truly an amazing tourist city! This trip has left me with so many wonderful memories. If you are also planning a trip, consider Melbourne, I believe you will fall in love with it too!
