Carol蔷薇雨露:“After a 10-year absence, I accompanied my friends to the 88th floor of Melbourne's Eureka! 🌈 I went to the restaurant on the 89th floor once in the middle. It seems to be my third time here [Deyi] There is a new project downstairs VR”

M47***95:“I went to the museum on a whim. The ticket purchasing experience was excellent, as you could use the tickets as you went, and the price was better than at the venue. The museum isn't large, but the exhibits are well-designed, with a great combination of audiovisual equipment. In the Aboriginal exhibition area, each exhibit has a text description, pictures, and videos showing how it's used and what it's like to experience life. These made it easier to understand the purpose of the exhibits and learn more about Aboriginal life. There were also various props for experiencing the exhibits. I happened to catch an insect dance activity when I went, and a large group of children were happily singing and dancing in the lobby on the first floor.”

Mandadadada:“Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.”

爱笑的宝哥:“With nine-year-old children who love painting to enjoy the works of French Impressionist painters more than 100 years ago, let children get edified in the paintings, ear-stained, record their favorite works with the camera, and continue to enjoy after returning home. This is the satisfaction that art brings to us. It can last a long time.”

我家宝贝最疼爱的猪:“The competition was very exciting. The price of the tickets was not much different from that sold on the Australian official website. Many of the matches were very exciting. I was very happy to be able to watch this competition, especially the preliminaries of the two men's and women's singles champions. I was really lucky hahahaha”

awu45:“Known as one of the most beautiful libraries in the southern hemisphere, the State Library of Victoria is definitely a must-see attraction in Melbourne. It was built in 1854 and combines classical architecture with modern facilities. The iconic Latrobe dome reading room is like a magic academy. Retro long tables and green table lamps are displayed under the octagonal dome, which is definitely a good place to take photos. There are more than 2 million books in the collection, including Chinese books. What's more valuable is that it is open to the public for free, and it is full of compatriots who come to check in. 🚶 Recommended tour route: 1️⃣ 📸 Check in the dome: Take the elevator directly to the 6th floor to take a panoramic view. The light shines through the glass dome, and the atmosphere is full. The best ones have to line up to take photos! 2️⃣ 🖼️ Exhibition area: Permanent historical manuscripts and theme special exhibitions, feel the cultural precipitation, many people come here to "pretend" to work hard! 3️⃣ ☕ Cafe break: The cafe in the museum is suitable for daydreaming, and it is more comfortable with the fragrance of books 🚌 Travel suggestions Transportation: Take the tram 🚇 to La Trobe St/Swanston St station (in the free zone), or walk 3 minutes from Melbourne Central station. The homestay we stayed in was in the city center, so we decided to walk 🚶 there, and we could also experience Melbourne's city 🌆 culture along the way 🈺 Business hours: Monday to Thursday 10:00-21:00, Friday to Sunday 10:00-18:00.”

096***07:“Royal Arcade is in the heart of the city. I made an appointment with a friend for afternoon tea at this century-old shop, and happened to walk around. There are boutique shops along the way, one of which sells fortune-telling, magic wands, etc., which is quite interesting. If there are many people at this afternoon tea shop, it is best to make an online reservation. The scones are very good, and the pink cake is also delicious. It is a very orthodox two-round high tea, and you can order different teas for each round. The first round of dim sum is three-layer tower, and the second round is scones”
