/kloc-At the beginning of the 0/9th century, the British established pasture here, which is the birthplace of Australian shepherd industry.

"If Sydney is the new york of the South Pacific, then Melbourne is London."

There are still many magnificent Victorian buildings in the19th century in the city, which is the largest city with the most European flavor in Australia. The green Yalu River runs through the urban area, and there are many bridges connecting the two banks. The city is lush with parks, and the green area accounts for 1/4 of the city's total area, enjoying the reputation of "garden city". There are three figure-eight monuments in this city. There are many restaurants and shops in China in Chinatown, and there is a China memorial arch on the street corner, which is very distinctive. Melbourne is also the birthplace of Australian painting art, so the cultural quality of citizens is relatively high. Melbourne has a suitable climate and four distinct seasons. It was once elected as one of the three most livable cities in the world.

If Sydney is full of vitality and has the characteristics of a new American city, then Melbourne is self-serious and has a British nostalgic style. Melbourne is a very distinctive city. People generally think that it is solemn, and it has left a deep impression on people, whether it is its antique buildings or people's clothes and manners. Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, near Phillip Bay Harbor. The Jena River, which runs through the city, is the darling of Melbourne people, so that people are not allowed to live on both sides of the river, nor are they allowed to build houses to maintain the scenery along the river. In this way, Melbourne shows another characteristic different from Sydney. In the busiest downtown area, you can reach the grass by the river within a short walk. Quietly flowing rivers, boats floating on the water, and young men and women lying on the grass by the river lazily basking in the sun seem to have nothing to do with modern urban life a few steps away. This unique sight can only be seen in Melbourne.

Melbourne was founded in 1842 and 1847. Before Victoria discovered gold, Melbourne was only a small city with a population of tens of thousands. After the discovery of gold in Balarit, northwest of the city 185 1 km, a large number of gold prospectors and immigrants poured in, and several important towns built railways one after another, which made this small town develop rapidly. The population soared to several hundred thousand. From 190 1 to 1927, Melbourne is the federal capital. During World War I and World War II, the city developed steadily because it was not greatly affected by the war. In addition, the arrival of a large number of immigrants provided advanced technology and funds, promoted local economic development and urban planning, and made Melbourne a metropolis above Sydney.
