What are the characteristics of Perth, Australia?

Please leave your name for your friend who is going to Perth. I'm going to graduate school next July.

Western Australia is the largest state in Australia, with an area similar to that of Western Europe, accounting for 1/3 of Australia's total area, but its population is less than 2 million, less than110 of the national population, less than half of Sydney, and 80% of its residents are concentrated in Perth, the capital. Perth (Chinese has been translated into Perth or Perth) covers an area of 5,700 square kilometers and has a population of about 6,543.8+0.3 million, of which more than 80% are immigrants or descendants from Europe and America. In recent years, with the opening of Australian immigration policy, more and more Asian immigrants have chosen Perth, most of whom are from Malaysian, Indonesian, Singaporean, Thai and other Southeast Asian countries and China, Hongkong and Taiwan Province provinces.

Perth has three most famous titles, one is "the loneliest city in the world", the other is "the city of lighthouse" and the third is "the city of swans". Perth is the loneliest city in the world, because the vast Indian Ocean keeps it away from the African continent, and thousands of square kilometers of desert separates it from the prosperous cities in East Australia. Perth is more than 2,000 kilometers from Adelaide, and more than 3,500 kilometers from Sydney and Melbourne. At the same time, although there are some small towns scattered around Perth, there are no cities of similar size. It can be said that Perth is the only "big city" in Western Australia.

The title of "City of Lighthouses" in Perth comes from 1962. In order to pay tribute to American astronaut Colonel john glenn, thousands of streets, porches, houses and office buildings in Perth were lit up all night and became the earth lighthouse of spacecraft, so the city was called "Lighthouse City". Thirty-five years later, 1998, Perth once again lit up the lights to welcome John Greer back.

As early as 1697, when the Dutch navigator Willem de Vlamingh first set foot on this magical land of Perth, he was attracted by the unique and beautiful black swan by the river, so he named this river Swan River. Since then, the black swan has become the highest-ranking animal in Perth and even in Western Australia. Wrapped around Perth's waist is Swan River, and the animal proudly standing on the emblem and national flag of Western Australia is black swan. The logo, company name and street name of many commodities (such as beer) will also choose swan or black swan.

As a foreigner, I don't know much about the history of this city. After checking the official data, I know that Australian aborigines have lived and multiplied here for thousands of years. Although the Dutch first discovered Western Australia, they soon gave up because they could not find the legendary Golden Island. 1829 captain Charles Howe fremantle explored the swan river basin in western Australia on behalf of the British king. In the same year, Captain james stirling established the Swan River colony in today's Perth. 1856, Queen Victoria officially named Perth. Like other cities in Australia, Perth is also a city built by prisoners and laborers. Many buildings at that time, such as the House of Representatives, Perth Parliament Hall, Trinity Church and the old court, are still well preserved. In the mid-1990s, due to the discovery of gold by Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie in eastern Perth, the city's economy rose rapidly. In 1960s, the discovery and mining of iron, nickel and aluminum mines brought greater prosperity to Perth.

Until today, the mining industry is still a pillar industry in Western Australia. The ores in Western Australia are of high quality, especially iron ore, which is very popular in the international market. With the market price rising by 70% this year, orders are still flowing. The natural gas reserves here are also extremely rich, and the 25-year natural gas contract signed with China and Guangdong Province has also been implemented this year. The export of resources has brought rolling wealth to the Western Australian government and laid an economic foundation for Perth's urban construction. Due to the strong financial support and the fact that this place is dominated by the Labor Party, there are often some discordant voices between the Western Australian government and the federal government.

Perth enjoys a superior geographical environment, with its back to the sea, the Darling Mountains in the east and the Indian Ocean in the west. The Swan River closely connects the city with the ocean. Perth is located on the north bank of Swan River. The city is very small, but there are many modern high-rise buildings, especially Ban Kexi Tower. Looking from the south bank, under the setting sun, the sunshine of different colors and shapes is colorful, the spoons are evenly circled, the peaches are broken and waved, and the spring thorns line the tomb and expose the columns, which makes the emperor and overseas Chinese angry. I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll suffocate before I rush.

China shops and restaurants are concentrated in the North Bridge in the north of the city. The municipal government is currently considering whether to name this area "China City". Some opponents worry that this will affect other Asian operators here, but the mayor's words are very reasonable. He said that whether it is called "China City" or not, everyone knows that it is here. North Bridge is also the most concentrated place for entertainment and dining in Perth, especially after nightfall. Perth city government has recently invested heavily in the renovation of the urban business district and the North Bridge. It is estimated that this area will be more prosperous after the transformation is completed.

To the west of the city is fremantle Port, which is the mouth of Swan River and a famous natural deep-water port in Australia. The aircraft carrier can enter the port directly. The port has beautiful scenery, many ancient European-style buildings are well preserved so far, and commercial streets and open-air cafes make people linger. American aircraft carriers and many Antarctic scientific research ships are willing to choose this place as a docking supply station. In March this year, the China Antarctic scientific research ship also made a short stop here.

Perth's folk customs are simple. Although there are red light districts and casinos, they are not places that people are keen on, nor are they industries encouraged by the government. People here like sports related to nature. It is said that every four families have a yacht on average. Walking and cycling races around the city, family walks, walking with dogs and other activities are often held here. Of course, golf and tennis are also people's favorites. Every season, men's weekends are occupied by Australian football, or they sit in front of the TV or growl at the Subiaco Stadium. Some people say that racial discrimination in Western Australia is very serious, especially for Chinese, but I don't feel it is more serious than other cities. Frankly speaking, racial discrimination is inevitable in any country or city dominated by Europeans and Americans. Although the law is binding, some things in the bones are hard to change. However, many things also depend on how we think, do and say.

The China government has a consulate in Perth, which provides convenience for overseas Chinese to handle various domestic affairs. In addition, Perth and Beijing are in the same time zone, so there is no time difference between here and China, and it is convenient to contact China.
