Photo spots with lots of tourists
Some paintings are painted very high
I don’t know how I climbed so high
Really strong
☕️Coffee Street
There are many coffee shops on both sides
Pair it with some ice cream shops, chocolate shops and souvenir shops
The atmosphere is quite cute
Because I only had ice cream at noon, I wanted to stop eating it.
When visiting koko black chocolate shop
The clerk also invited us to try some chocolate
It tastes like apple. It's so sweet but delicious.
Didn’t buy coffee in Coffee Alley
I went to the small supermarket next door and bought a box of 11 strawberries.
In total, it’s over NT$100. I can eat strawberries if I’m happy.

old station
The atmosphere is different when taking photos
important transportation hub
You don’t need to think about it to know that there are so many people coming and going.
Be careful of collisions with others and be careful of being stolen.
But it's actually okay. I didn't bring any money.

Where some exhibitions and performances will be held
It feels like the kind of landmark where you can meet up with friends
There are many pigeons flying around
You can wear a hat to avoid birds💩

Melbourne's Cityscape
Melbourne is a city that took my breath away with its diverse and striking architecture. From modern skyscrapers to Victorian-era buildings, this Australian gem has it all for architecture lovers like myself.
As I strolled along the Yarra River, I was greeted by the sight of Federation Square's iconic modern design. With its sloping planes and mix of zinc, glass and sandstone, this public square shows Melbourne's embrace of contemporary architecture. Nearby Flinders Street Station, in contrast, is a stunning remnant of the city's colonial past. The prominent domed building built in 1910 remains a treasured landmark.
Venturing into the Central Business District, I craned my neck upwards to admire the towering skyscrapers. Our guide highlighted the unusual triangle-shaped Tower Melbourne, before pointing out the striking blue glass exterior of the Eureka Tower. At almost 300 meters high, this skyscraper offers incredible views from its observation deck.
Just outside the city center in inner suburbs like Fitzroy, Carlton and St Kilda, blocks of attached Victorian terraces with wrought iron lacework delighted me with their old-world charm. And the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building, constructed in 1880 for the Melbourne International Exhibition, remains an outstanding symbol of the city's 19th century pride and confidence.
With its respect for the old and embrace of the new, Melbourne has curated an architectural experience like no other for visitors. The diversity of building styles here, from modern wonders to historic icons, tells the story of an innovative city confidently looking to the future without forgetting its past. I was thoroughly impressed.

Melbourne is the capital of the Australian state of Victoria, on the southeastern coast of Australia and we reached it with an hour's flight from Canberra.
In the surroundings of Federetion Square, right in the city center, there is one of the places of worship for author music. Probably not everyone knows that AC / DC are at home here: in February 1976, the video of It’s A Long way to the top was shot on Swanston Street.
ST Kilda - the seaside district
An area of the city born to be the elegant meeting point for Sundays to spend at the sea.
A walk from the past: Royal Arcade, Block Arcade and STATE LIBRARY OF VICTORIA: Elegant passages where luxurious reminiscences and chic touches of contemporary echo, the right places for super shopping!
Contemporary architecture in Melbourne:
-Webb Bridge: bridge created by the artist Robert Owen. The idea behind it is that of a traditional Aboriginal eel trap.
- For an overhead view of the city, do not miss the Eureka Skydeck on the 88th floor and a visit to the super instagrammable central station.
Royal Botanic Gardens - Aboriginal Heritage Walk: It is possible to book a guided tour of the Royal Botanic Gardens and rediscover the contact with nature even among tall skyscrapers.

Australia must be the country with the most handsome guys in the world, and Melbourne must be the city with the most handsome guys.
Melbourne is full of street performers, each with their own different characteristics and fan bases,
street shooting sunny boys, found that Melbourne is full of music and sports boys, really attractive, sunshine Handsome and self-like, as if living the best life, the nine maps are obviously not enough.
If you don't go out and see the beauty of the world, you will think that the small world of your life is the whole world.

Federal Square (fedsquare.com) is a group of buildings centered on the Civic Square. It was presented to the world with its abstract surreal model and became a new symbol of Melbourne in the 21st century. It is also a new landmark in Melbourne. After the completion, it became a meeting place, a landmark for Melbourne, for people to meet. When the weather is fine, there are band performances and a lot of activities. People sit in open-air benches to enjoy music, street art and performances. In addition to the new National Gallery of Victoria, there is also the Australian Dynamic Image Center, the BMW Theatre and some restaurants, shops and bars worth seeing. In particular, the Australian Dynamic Image Center, free to visit, there are many toys with a sense of technology, as well as a large number of popular science and technology related places, very suitable for bringing children to play. The transportation to Federation Square is also very convenient. On the left is Flinder Street Railway Station, Melbourne's transportation hub, many trams pass through here. So, after taking the tram to Flinder Street Station, you can walk across the road to Union Square.
JOJO’s wonderful trip.

🇦🇺Melbourne attractions guide|||———❗️✅Recommended
📍Port Melbourne Beach: The sunset is amazing. You have to be there to understand the vastness of the world.
📍State Library Victoria: The architecture is stunning. The symmetry is very satisfying, but there are a lot of tourists.
📍Royal Arcade: You will pass by here when shopping. It has a retro vibe.
📍St Paul's Cathedral: Not as big as the cathedral in Sydney, but very beautiful! The color scheme is unique.
———😌Not bad, worth a visit if you have time
🔸Fitzroy Gardens: Quite big, but it's just a big lawn.
🔸University of Melbourne: Old and peaceful. If you don't have a friend to show you around, you can only take photos of the old buildings.
🔸Melbourne Central: A busy shopping mall.
🔸Flinders Street Railway Station: More functional than beautiful. Good for Jay Chou fans to take photos.
🔸St Patrick's Cathedral: There was an event when I visited, so I couldn't go inside. The photos look magnificent! The architecture is beautiful but hard to photograph.
🔸Melbourne Museum & Carlton Gardens: The museum is small, and the exhibits are new and scattered. It lacks a sense of history and is more like an encyclopedia for kids.
———🤷♀️Not worth visiting
▪️Graffiti walls: I don't understand why people take photos here. It looks like a dump. 🇦🇺There are many places with interesting graffiti.
▪️Queen Victoria Market: A big market with nothing to see. There are a few cafes nearby. You can buy souvenirs here.
▪️Federation Square: Not really an attraction, just a nice outdoor mall.
▪️Melbourne Town Hall: Not worth visiting as an attraction.

To visit in Melbourne, Australia, here are 7 places you need to go:
Memorial Temple
This is one of the darker scenes in this city, which will surely inspire you to reflect on the sacrifices made by the fallen in the First World War. Shortly after the end of the war, the Shrine was erected in the King's Domain Gardens and remains the focus of ceremonies on ANZAC Day (April 25th) and Remembrance Day (November 11th) each year. Afterwards, head to some of Melbourne's famous markets; the South Melbourne Market or the Queen Victoria Market are also great options.
Federal Square
Opened in 2002 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the federation, it features stylish geometric modern design in stark contrast to the historic Victorian architecture surrounding Melbourne. That being said, exploring the area is one of the best activities in Melbourne as they often host a plethora of events and entertainment. Usually held in the outdoor performance area of Federation Square, there is a good chance that there will be some events taking place during your visit.
São Paulo Cathedral
It was built in 1868 and is a stunning example of Australian Gothic Revival architecture. It is free to enter, so after admiring the impressive exterior, be sure to go inside and take a look.
Melbourne Museum
The collection is extremely diverse, from the Indigenous Centre (Bunjilaka) to the Children's Museum. The building itself is impressive from the outside, and the surrounding gardens and parks are also great places to explore or stop for a picnic.
Eureka Tower
This impressive skyscraper stands 91 stories tall, crowned with gold. Its gilding pays tribute to the Victorian-era gold rush, and from the ground, the sparkling facade is a sight to behold. Head up to the 88th-floor observation deck for an unparalleled view of the city below. If you're looking for a scenic activity, this is easily one of the best things to do in Melbourne.
Melbourne Star
This is an observation Ferris wheel, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from a height of 40 floors and 360 degrees.
Royal Botanic Gardens
These gardens cover about 40 hectares and are widely regarded as one of the best gardens in the world. You can see over 50,000 plant species here (impressive, right?), including some rare ones. Don't miss the chance to take a fascinating journey through Australian Aboriginal cultural heritage by walking along the Aboriginal Heritage Walk that passes through the gardens. After exploring the gardens all morning, grab a refreshing drink at one of Melbourne's best coffee shops, Manchester Press, where they make a mean Italian-style espresso.

Melbourne's Federation Square, the city's core area, well-connected public transport, if you meet a sunny afternoon, this is the place of choice for you to spend time
all the way is St. Paul's Cathedral, opposite the Central Square subway station On the other side of the river is Melbourne's largest park. In the warm afternoon, it is almost filled with people who are resting.
Time seems to have no measurement here, and you can enjoy the most leisure time on the road!
Just at the corner of the square is the Melbourne Tourist Information Centre, where you can get all the information about Melbourne city tours.

This kind of square dance is not exclusive to Chinese aunts. On the Federal Square in Melbourne's largest public square, under the cheerful music, whites, blacks, Asians, and Indians all danced happily. The girls were mostly white. Skirts are white, and men are all kinds of, so mixed, but also danced in it.
Okay, I know what you want to ask, Chinese shawl aunts have indeed occupied Federation Square and danced in the very penetrating music of "Little Apple" and Phoenix Legend. No one can stop the Chinese aunts...
Federal Square is the center of the Melbourne CBD! In addition to seemingly always there, there are so many art galleries, restaurants and cafes here, so its enough to spend an afternoon.
