Introduction of cities suitable for Australian immigrants

A city suitable for Australian immigrants

Sydney, 1

As the earliest developed, relatively large-scale and most modern city in Australia, she is well-deserved as the largest city in Australia; According to the new ABS data, among Sydney's 4.8 million people, immigrants from China have accounted for as much as 3. 1%. Here, China compatriots can be seen everywhere. As long as you live in a Chinese community, even if you don't know English, Mandarin and Cantonese are enough to cope.

Sydney belongs to a subtropical humid climate, with moderate annual average temperature change and no obvious seasonal change in precipitation, which can be said to be "four seasons like spring". Its long history and pleasant climate make it a good tourist city. Visitors to Australia will never miss the Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbour and Harbour Bridge.

Coupled with the active economic environment and huge development space, China immigrants who are suitable for fast-paced life live and develop here. At the same time, there are dozens of universities in Sydney, such as the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales, and the Sydney University of Technology, which attract countless domestic students to study here every year.

If Sydney has any shortcomings, it may be the high cost of living. However, on the whole, there is something to give. Although the housing prices in Sydney are very high, the vibrant urban features still attract many immigrants from China to study, work or invest here.

2. Melbourne

Melbourne is a favorite city for many overseas immigrants to Australia. It has been praised as "the most livable city in the world" for many years, and its economy is also very developed. Many people take a fancy to Melbourne mainly because they like its developed economy, beautiful living environment and strong cultural atmosphere.

Compared with Sydney's infinite vitality, quiet Melbourne is more like its four distinct seasons, which is suitable for immigrants with firm pace and not blindly pursuing "fast". As a "cultural capital", Melbourne's education has also attracted countless overseas students. Melbourne's prices and housing prices are cheaper and more suitable for life. It is precisely for these reasons that in recent years, in addition to overseas immigrants, many interstate immigrants, including NSW immigrants, have also chosen to move to Victoria.

3. Brisbane

As the third largest city in Australia, she is famous as the "Sunshine City". The city is not only adjacent to the Gold Coast, an Australian tourist resort, but also has a typical tropical climate, with abundant rainfall, warm climate and relatively long sunshine hours, adjacent to the Gold Coast, an Australian tourist resort.

Of course, Brisbane's economic environment is relatively less developed than Sydney and Melbourne. However, highly developed tourism and real estate still attract many investors from China. In the eyes of many immigrants, Brisbane is a comfortable, clean and simple civilian city, full of life, and will be more attached to the slow-paced life here after staying for a long time.

4. Perth

Although the city is not as big as the first three, Perth is still the largest city in Western Australia and enjoys the reputation of "Little California".

Due to its late development, Perth may be slightly inferior to the three major cities on the east coast in terms of cultural heritage, but its beautiful natural scenery has a unique charm: whether it is the scenic Swan River or the original natural forest, people will never leave. In fact, the so-called remote areas are not defined by our impression of remote geographical location, underdeveloped economy and lack of urban infrastructure, but only because of its slow population growth.

Perth may be a city with a lot of room for development in Australia: a pleasant Mediterranean climate, relatively low housing prices, and an economy full of room for growth have made this western China city show its value step by step and won the favor of more and more Australian immigrants.
