Canberra: The capital with the least sense of existence, the garden city of Oceania!

[Mosque] Canberra is a city that needs to be savored slowly. When you stand on the top of Mount Ainslie and overlook the geometric beauty of the entire city, you will suddenly understand why it is called the "symbol of democracy." When you go to Australia, don't miss this underrated treasure capital! ✨Recommendation reason: The capital of Australia is neither Sydney nor Melbourne, but a new city called Canberra that was artificially designed and built between the two cities. 🌸Most tourists go there for a day trip, but it is a great place to take children for an in-depth vacation. The whole city is a big garden, many large museums and parks are free, the embassy district is like a museum of international architecture, and there are all kinds of delicious food. 🗺️Must-visit attractions: 🏛️Australian Parliament House 📍Address: Parliament Place 🚇Transportation: 15 minutes walk from Civic Light Rail Station 💡Highlights: • Free guided tour to get to touch the Prime Minister's chair • The rooftop observation deck closes at 16:30, so remember to rush in early! • You can listen to parliamentary debates every Tuesday/Thursday at 2pm (advance reservation required) 🎨National Gallery 📍Address: Parkes Place 🚇Transportation: Bus No. 200 goes directly to 🌟Must-see: • Pollock's abstract painting "Blue Poles" worth $500 million • Authentic Monet Water Lilies Series • James Turrell's light and shadow installation outside the museum, which changes with the light and is very dreamy 🕊️War Memorial 📍Address: Anzac Parade 🚇Transportation: Bus No. 934 direct ✨Hidden gameplay: • Don’t miss the “Last Ceremony” at 16:30 every day! • You can check the war records of family members • The underground exhibition hall has fighter wreckage and real trench experience 🗼National Clock Tower 📍Address: King Edward Terrace 🚶Transportation: Lake Burley Griffin Trail is within walking distance 📸Photography tips: Take photos with the reflection in the lake for a more artistic look ⛰️Mount Ainslie Lookout 📍Address: Mount Ainslie 🚗Transportation: 15 minutes by car, it is recommended to arrive 1 hour before sunset 🌇Viewing highlights: • A panoramic view of the city's central axis • The white dome of the Capitol Building can be seen facing the golden dome of the War Memorial 🍷Recommended nearby tours: • Canberra wine region: 40+ wineries, Clonakilla Riesling is recommended • Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve: see wild koalas and wombats 🚶Classic one-day tour route: Parliament House (2 hours) → National Gallery (3 hours) → War Memorial (3 hours) → Mount Ainslie Sunset (1 hour) 👶🏻Parent-child in-depth tour route: Day 1: Science Center → National Museum → Boating on Lake Burley Griffin Day 2: Old Parliament Building → National Portrait Gallery → Hot Air Balloon Experience 🎈Special Experience: • Attend the Enlighten Festival (March): the facade of the Capitol becomes a giant projection screen • Find vintage finds at the Old Bus Depot Markets: open every Sunday • Rent a GoBoat and have a picnic on the lake: BYO food and drinks, and remember to bring a bottle opener! 🍔 Food recommendations: • The Cupping Room: a must-try truffle beef burger • Nami Nami: The beef pho soup is super rich • Capital Brewing Co: Try their Cloud Control IPA 💰Cost related: ✅ Free items: All museums, Parliament Building, Mount Ainslie Viewpoint 💸Paid experience: • Hot air balloon: about $300 per person (breakfast included) • Capitol Building tour: $25/adult • War Memorial Ceremony: Free but reservation required 📌Other Tips: 1.
