Melbourne city centre tour

Age 30, 50th country. Finally set foot on the land of the Southern Hemisphere for the first time! When I came to Melbourne, Australia, the seasonal climate was instantly opposite to that of Hong Kong, which was a bit strange~ After resting, I first traveled around Melbourne to see the city. The most central part of Melbourne is basically a Free Tram Zone, and any activities in this area are free! I really like this benefit! First stop: Flinder street Train Station Flinder street Train Station is a symbol of Melbourne, basically a landmark! This is the place you absolutely cannot miss when visiting Melbourne, and the must-visit check-in point is here! This is one of the earliest operating railway stations in Australia, built in 1854, and more than millions of people commute through this station every day. The iconic clock in the station is one of the famous photo spots for many people. Be sure to stand under it and take a photo as a souvenir! Recommended camera position: Take photos on the street diagonally opposite the train station to get a full view, and there won’t be many people. You can sit on a bench to take better photos. Second stop: Union Lane, Hosier Lane There are two famous graffiti streets in Melbourne, Union Lane and Hosier Lane. The two alleys are not far apart and can be reached in about 8 minutes on foot. As an important landmark of graffiti art, everything from walls to stairs, and even roadside trash cans, windows, and road signs are canvases in the eyes of graffiti artists. The seemingly gloomy and dirty streets are transformed into stunning new paintings at any time through free and spontaneous graffiti creations. On the same day, I also met a magazine model who was doing a photo shoot on the spot. She had a very stylish style. In addition to these two streets, there are many amazing graffiti works on Melbourne streets. You may want to pay attention to this beautiful street culture everywhere! Third stop: Victoria State Library The Victoria State Library is located at 328 Swanston Street in the heart of Melbourne. It is very convenient to get there by foot or by taking the free tram (there is a stop). Founded in 1854, the library has a history of nearly 200 years and houses more than 20 million books, manuscripts, maps, newspapers, magazines, music and other documents. The reason why this library is a must-visit in Melbourne is that its architectural style combines classical and modern elements, especially the octagonal space in the library, which can accommodate 10,000 books and more than 500 readers. The dome above the reading room is designed to allow natural light to pass through. It was designed in 1913 by three architects, Bates, Peebles, and Smarts, and was modeled after the domes of the British Library and the Library of Congress in Washington. The fourth or fifth floor is a popular check-in spot: the rooftop and the overlooking reading room. There are also art exhibitions in the museum. After checking in, you may as well appreciate them. #trip #Melbourne #Australia #AustraliaTravel #MelbourneCity #MelbourneAttractions
