Five-day tour in southern Guizhou to discover the beauty of Melbourne, Australia’s second largest city

Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia and an important route in outbound tourism. Melbourne is the capital of Victoria and is known as Australia's "Garden State". It is also an important industrial town in Australia. The urban green coverage rate is as high as 40%, and the natural scenery is beautiful, making it a paradise. Before going there, I had expectations for Melbourne’s natural beauty, but during this trip I discovered that Melbourne’s beauty goes beyond that. It has a rich cultural atmosphere beyond imagination. She was once the capital of Australia and had its own characteristics in art, culture, entertainment, food, shopping, etc. Melbourne successfully combines humanity and nature, and has been voted "the most livable city in the world" by Population Action International ten times.

Natural beauty and wonders abound.

Melbourne is a seaside city on the Pacific Ocean, with relative humidity often between 30% and 50%. Due to the influence of geographical location and ocean currents, Melbourne has a large temperature difference between day and night. In summer, even if the temperature reaches more than 30 degrees during the day, it will drop to about 12 degrees at night. That’s why Melbourne’s temperatures are called “all year round”. It is Melbourne's natural conditions that create fresh air, lush green spaces and poetic scenery.

This is a rare and unique beauty. The recent launch of helicopter tours of the Great Ocean Road certainly provides another angle of exploration.

Most recommended: Sovereign Hill

Sovereign Hill, a holy place where gold prospectors gather, is an outdoor museum that vividly displays a vigorous gold rush that took place here in the last century. hot. In the 1850s, gold was first discovered at Sovereign Hill, and a large number of gold prospectors flocked there. The Sovereignty Mountain is called "New Gold Mountain". By the beginning of the 20th century, all the gold here had been mined, and gold mine owners closed all the mines. Later, the Australian government funded the restoration of the gold mining area and opened it to the public as a tourist attraction.

Now Sovereignty Hill has completely restored its appearance in the 19th century, and there are horse-drawn carriages on the streets paved with loess. All the staff are wearing costumes from over 100 years ago, and even the police on the streets are patrolling in their old uniforms. The baking method of bread in the store, the style of post office postcards, the printing technology of paper, and even the children's learning methods and courses all retain the form of the year. Even the clerks used quill pens to write receipts, and the dates on the receipts were written in the 19th century.
