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&#39;s and women&#39;s singles champions. I was really lucky hahahaha

独孤一游

Tickets at the venue cost $43 USD, but only 149 RMB on Ctrip &ndash; what a steal! Ctrip&#39;s 26-year track record is well-deserved.

The observation deck is on the 88th floor, not particularly high. There&#39;s an AR viewing experience inside for an extra fee, but I didn&#39;t find it interesting. Going to the top floor is the same as going around the entire building. There&#39;s an open-air observation deck &ndash; basically a wire mesh terrace &ndash; where you can feel the wind at high altitudes and enjoy the view without glass obstructions. There&#39;s also a retractable glass walkway observation deck, again for an extra fee, nothing special. Just sit down, have a coffee, enjoy the view, and take another walk around. That&#39;s it. Observation decks everywhere are the same &ndash; standard procedure for the event. 😄

Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there&rsquo;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.
