What are the famous tourist attractions in Melbourne?

This is the best starting point for exploring Melbourne. A surreal building in the square completely breaks the tourists' initial impression of Melbourne's classical style.

Federation Square is one of the most sophisticated and huge construction projects in Victoria, which combines advanced and avant-garde architectural design. The Federation Square covers the whole inner city area, connecting the central business district with the rivers in melbourne central, and integrating various functions such as arts, activities, leisure, sightseeing and open space. Ian Potter Centre is also here in Federation Square, where the National Gallery of Victoria is located, and the world's first public museum with the theme of Australian art..

The Commonwealth Plaza, which opened in October p>22, is the largest project in Australia in recent years, with a cost of 45 million Australian dollars and a capacity of 1, people. Every year, about 5 grand events are held in Federation Square, and Melbourne citizens who could not accept this square have gradually come to like it and are proud of it.

People's love for Federation Square is attributed to the abstract and strange buildings around it, including the visitor service center, the new National Museum of Victoria (NGV), the indoor performance hall (inside BMW edge), SBS Media Building, Transport Hotel, art galleries, restaurants and shops, etc. The Atrium building, in particular, is very eye-catching, consisting of steel and transparent glass with geometric figures. It connects the passage between flinders Street and Yala River, and it is also cut by a building called Crossbar, which is dominated by restaurants and cafes. The high ceiling and transparent glass not only allow the external light source to shine in completely, but also blend with the adjacent classical buildings, successfully interpreting the comparative concepts of "tradition and modernity" and "antiquity and creativity".

St. Paul's Church

This is an Anglican cathedral, located at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street. Together with St. Patrick's Cathedral on the government office street and St. John's Episcopal Church in South Asia, the church has become the three major Gothic buildings in Melbourne.

St. Paul's Cathedral was built in 1866, replacing a much smaller church with the same name.

The process of building the church was blocked by various difficulties. There was a great controversy between British architect William Butterfield and the church building committee. Butterfield was very disdainful of the committee's design idea of making the church face the noble bridge and selecting stones. Construction of the church began in 188, but Butterfield formally resigned in 1884. The final project was supervised by architect Joseph Reid.

There are many unique features inside the church, including the doors of the altar made in Italy, marble inlaid with glass and striped marble, and the organ made by Louis and his collaborators in London. There is also a set of bells composed of 13 Jason Chung in the church, which is a rare treasure outside the British Isles.

bluestone is the main building material of this Gothic Cathedral. The interior stained glass windows, glazed tiles and wooden equipment make St. Paul's Cathedral more dignified and elegant.

St. Paul's Church is free of charge, and its doors are very heavy. Entering St. Paul's Church, the interior lights are dim, and there is a dignified sense of coldness. The church is relatively empty in space, with a tall roof and beautiful painted glass with obvious western flavor, giving people the feeling that time has reversed to ancient Europe, which is solemn and grand.

Victoria Arts Centre, victorian arts centre

If you look across the Yarra River in Federation Square, the sunlight will be immediately attracted by a steeple in the shape of a ballerina, which is the location of victorian arts centre and a famous landmark building in Melbourne.

The spring water flows down the whole glass wall of the gate, and the gate of the Art Museum is guarded by a huge statue called "Angel". "Angels" have no wings. To be exact, they are somewhat like small animals with three legs and two heads. Colorful colors and totem patterns, perhaps this is an angel in artists' fantasy. The tower of the theater building is a ballet skirt, and the dance skirt at night flies out of the brightest lights on the Yarra River. The theaters are all underground, small and chic. The floor of the small theater is earth silver, and the chairs are peach; The carpet in the theater is dark purple, and the chairs are bronze. The seats in the Grand Theatre are all bright red, which is the traditional color used by the British Opera House. The ceiling of the Grand Theater is made of 75 pieces of mirrors.

Change the hanging level according to the different music played. The ceiling and floor of the concert hall are carefully sketched by landscape painters, such as sand, coral blue, gray and light purple, which represent the colors of Australia. The audience is in the concert hall, as if on the sloping mound at the entrance of the cave. It is the creativity of Melbourne people to enjoy the symphony in such a "natural" environment, and the perfect integration of nature and humanistic atmosphere is the charm of Melbourne.

Every year, about 1.2 million people from all over the world come here to enjoy various performances. The restaurant in the art center also offers a variety of delicious meals.
