A one-minute movie will be played during the event. The feeling of coming out of the mine is like seeing the light of day again! Needless to say, the St. Anne Winery is for wine tasting. The aperitif here is really delicious. I really like that ml is only sold in Australian dollars. The price is really affordable and you can't buy it in China.
There is also a dark chocolate wine that is not bad. Friends who love and understand wine should not miss it. Federation Square is located in the heart of Melbourne (CBD), on the Yarra River in the south, Flinders St in the north, and St Kilda Rd in the west. It is an open multifunctional square.
Many social activities in Melbourne are carried out here. This time I just passed by and went shopping. There is a station at Federation Square that is free to take. You can reach Melbourne Chinatown by taking two stops. There are many restaurants there, such as Sihai City Xiaolongbao, Beijing Roast Duck, Hunan cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine.
The main area is bustling with shopping malls and large supermarkets, which is what Yunluo wants to say, hahaha. I walked into a department store and admired the fashion of Australia. Not bad, Target, I wish you a prosperous business. Yunluo and An Chuyu had dinner at a Cantonese restaurant, and the portion was really good.
Yunluo thought that one meal was enough for two people. The Nanru pork knuckle noodles were also enough for two people. After dinner, we took the bus to the airport. Alas. We left Melbourne reluctantly. It won't be long before Yunluo will be back. In addition, the public transportation card in Victoria is called myki. You can buy a myki tourist package immediately after leaving the airport.
Australian dollars, one day's bus fare and discount coupons for many famous attractions are still very worthwhile. BTW, taking public transportation (trams) in urban areas of Australia is free. The hotel where Yunlu stayed in Singapore Airlines Holidays was ibis Styles, which is the highest-end sub-brand of ibis, between three and a half and four stars in China.
You can feel the design style and good atmosphere of outstanding designers on every floor and in every room. Very European style. But the best thing about this hotel is the location. It is just a 10-minute walk from the airport bus SkyBus. The location is really great! No matter where you go every day, you can basically walk there. The accessories in the house are really European style. It is very rare in China.
There was a radio, an iron, an ironing board. And a Bibleā¦ To be honest, this book did play a role at the critical moment. Because I had just arrived in the early morning, I took a shower first, and then something happened that Yunluo thought could only happen in a movie. Yunluo took off all his clothes and threw them on the bed, and just walked into the bathroom. Then he heard that the next door had checked in.
After a while, a white girl actually opened the door between Yunluo and her room! The lock was broken... Holy shit! Yunluo's virginity was left in Melbourne without any reason... As a result, Yunluo and her roommates called the front desk to complain. After packing up, what should I do on my first day here?
Because the weather was so good, the clouds fell! I didn't do anything! I took the tram to the beach and spent the whole day in St Kilda, lying on the grass by the beach with coffee in hand and playing with the dog. You say, is this day too decadent? Seagulls are not afraid of people at all. Taking a walk here will make you feel relaxed even if you have something annoying.
Play with the dog. Lie on the grass by the sea and look at the blue sky. The sky in the capital is really incomparable to that in Shanghai. Stroll along the seaside on Acland St and Fitzroy St and see the lemon tree for the first time. Walk to St. Kilda Church and continue to play with the dog in the green space behind the church.
Yunluo felt that he had spent such a long day that he was very corrupt. Walking to the corner, he saw the famous Luna Park. It has been a landmark building in St. Kilda for 1990s. The famous big smiley face of Mr. Moon at the entrance is said to be the nightmare of many children. You can enter the park freely, but if you want to play the amusement facilities, you have to buy a pass.
The handcrafted carousel is the highlight of this joyful amusement park. After visiting St. Kilda, we went to LaBelleMiette, a bakery recommended by the Victorian Tourism Bureau, to try desserts. This shop is small and exquisite, but it has the best macarons in Melbourne, so you can't miss it. Step onto the Parisian-style trail in the store.
It was like walking into an authentic French pastry shop. I looked around and saw that there were nearly 20 flavors in total, and there was also a limited edition off-white one called 'checkFacebookforlatestflavour', which I guess you have to like on Facebook to buy. I also looked at the recipes for these macarons, and there was only CoffeeCandy (Kopiko).
Hazelnut also has three flavors, Bamboo, Oolong, and Tea, which do not contain food coloring. Yunluo ordered the oolong tea flavor. It costs 100 Australian dollars each. It tastes really special, very Chinese, and not as sweet as the ones I had before. It is the best macaron Yunluo has ever eaten. The first day ended happily.
Guess what we'll be doing the next day? Melbourne's CBD is actually quite small, and it won't take more than an hour to walk around it, but there are many beautiful paths and lanes here, some paved with cobblestones, some paved with bluestones, and each path has its own characteristics. The weather is so good today. This is another comfortable city that is warm and cozy even in winter.
So I decided to walk around Melbourne on the second day. Of course, you can also choose to take Melbourne's most iconic city tram (line), which is free. It is a very beautiful and old tram. While listening to the automatic explanation, you can visit the center of Melbourne and embark on an antique and strange journey. For other bus transfer routes.
You can download the official app, tramTracker, to check and plan your route. As of now, Melbourne is the only city in Australia that cannot use Google Maps to plan public transportation, so use your map-checking skills from the non-smart era... Yunluo decided to walk, so he started from the city center.
Let's start with the most obvious attraction, Federation Square. When exploring Melbourne, no matter what you want to do or see, you must start from Federation Square, which is the heart and soul of Melbourne. Federation Square is a carnival made of steel, glass and abstract geometric shapes, and is the gathering center of Melbourne.
There are children skating in the square. There are also humorous street performers. To the west of the square is the symbol of Melbourne, a beautiful Victorian building. Flinders Street Station is the largest and busiest of Melbourne's four train stations, the first train station in Melbourne, and the terminus of the local train line.
You can sit by swiping myki. After entering, it feels like going to Hogwarts. On the north side of the square is the Anglican St. Paul's Cathedral. Yunluo also knows the difference between a church and a cathedral. The church where the bishop of the diocese is located is called a "cathedral". In other words, a cathedral is also a church, but there is only one bishop in a diocese.
That is to say, there is only one cathedral church in a diocese. You can hear the organ playing when you enter the church. It was the first time that Yunluo saw a real church organ. The sound was very impressive. It was made by a British organ craftsman and played for the first time when it was consecrated (similar to the meaning of opening the eyes) in 1999. At noon in the cathedral: the bishop will hold a Eucharist service.
Yunluo also happened to take some photos. In addition, there is a choir evening prayer ceremony every afternoon. Before leaving, Yunluo also went to the nearby Melbourne Coffee Bartending School to listen to a coffee lecture, because after two days, I found that the coffee in any coffee shop on the street in Melbourne is so delicious, better than Starbucks. Locals don't go to Starbucks very often.
The handsome speaker introduced the common types of coffee in Australian coffee shops, including Short Black, Long Black, Short Macchiato, Long Macchiato, Cappuccino, Flat White, Latte, and Mocha. It turns out that Long Black is actually an Australian improvement on Americano.
Although both use half a cup of water to dilute ml of espresso, the Americano adds espresso first and then water, while the LongBlack adds water first and then starts extracting espresso. What is the difference in taste brought by different methods? The crema on the Americano will be washed away by hot water, while the crema on the LongBlack is poured in later.
You will see more oil on the surface of the coffee, and these oils will last longer because they are not affected by external forces. Oils contain a lot of flavors and aromas, which will give Yunluo and An Chuyu a longer-lasting aftertaste when they drink it. Mocha is the most expensive because it also adds a portion of cocoa powder. Cappuccino is the least cost-effective because it has cm-high milk foam.
Therefore, Cappuccino is usually served in opaque ceramic cups to prevent people from seeing through its low gold content. Therefore, those who love to drink Cappuccino can consider Flatwhite. It only has cm milk foam, or Latte has cm milk foam, and the main ingredient is ml Espresso. The handsome guy also introduced and demonstrated to Yunluo and An Chuyu how to draw latte art.
He said that all latte art is a variation of the two basic styles of hearts and flowers. You only need to learn these two techniques. The rest of the patterns are all about creativity. In addition, it turns out that making milk foam is also a technical job. Have you ever had a cappuccino like this, which looks delicate like a glass of art and tastes as smooth as silk?
The smooth texture of the silk plate is actually the whole of a cup of cappuccino. If you have drunk such a cappuccino, Yunluo thinks it will be difficult for you to drink the kind of bubbly and fluffy cappuccino again. So what makes a cup of "real" cappuccino so delicious? Of course, it is the skills of the barista.
The skill of making milk foam is not that easy. It depends on the barista's long-term practice. Some baristas who have been working for a long time may still not be able to make milk foam well. Lunch is afternoon tea at Hopentoun Tearooms, a century-old teahouse. This popular teahouse is located in the quaint Bullock Shopping Gallery. There are always long queues when you go there.
The window is filled with all kinds of exquisite desserts. I never knew the origin of the store's name. After entering, I saw a sticker on the wall: Where are Tea. There is Hope. Drinking British afternoon tea here is definitely the best choice for girls with a burst of girlish hearts. The alley exploration officially began. Go east along Flinders St and turn left to Hosier Lane.
Pass the Forum Theatre on the right. Turn right on Flinders Lane, then left onto Russell Street, then right onto Collins Street. Visit the Scots Church and St. Michaels Uniting Church, then walk east along the "Paris" end of Collins Street.
Get away from the hustle and bustle of the main street and turn left into AlfredPl Square. This leads to Little Collins Street. Turn right, continue along Little Collins Street, and turn left into MeyersPI Square. There are many small shops. Yunluo found a fun model shop. Paint the dragon model with the boy. Then turn right to Bourke Street.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This way you reach the eastern edge of the CBD, where the famous Parliament House stands. Turn left on Spring Street, then turn left again to Little Bourke Street, passing the Princess Theater. Walk down Little Bourke Street and enter Chinatown. Turn left on Swanston Street. Then walk along Bourke Street.
Visit the shops there, watch the pedestrians coming and going, and then walk through the splendid old Royal Arcade (Royal Acade), and the day's walk is over. After thinking about it, I went to ride the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel, the largest Ferris wheel in the Southern Hemisphere, in the evening, intending to explore the different scenery of Melbourne from a unique perspective.
Melbourne really has no nightlife after 12:00 p.m., except for -, most other places are closed. The Ferris wheel is in Docklands, and the latest ride time is at 12:00 p.m. After getting off the bus, I stumbled towards the Ferris wheel looking at Google Map. There were no street lights around, and I fell into the flower bed without paying attention.
The Ferris wheel ticket price is AUD, and the package for one ride during the day and one ride at night is AUD. During the minute-long ride, the Ferris wheel slowly climbs to the height of the building, and the beautiful scenery of the city and the bay is unobstructed. Climbing up to the sky, overlooking the sparkling blue waves, and the vast scenery of kilometers away, you can see the city skyline of Melbourne.
You can also listen to the voice commentary in the cabin. Explore the origins of Melbourne, the little-known interesting stories, and the city's history, culture, inventions and idol elites. The cabin is always heated and air-conditioned, and the uninterrupted glass allows you to look around. It's definitely the first choice for coming to Melbourne. Watch believers receive communion in the church.
Ice skating in the warm sun, learning latte art at the art school, having English afternoon tea at a century-old shop, painting dragons at a model shop, and finally climbing the largest Ferris wheel in the Southern Hemisphere to overlook the entire city... The second day was so fulfilling that Yunluo didn't want to go back to work. What should I do? On the third day, I planned to pretend to be a cultured person. I went to the Melbourne Museum in the morning.
Tickets are in Australian dollars. As one of the most famous museums in the world, the Melbourne Museum is all-encompassing, and the exhibits are dazzling. It also includes outdoor halls. The years when dinosaurs dominated the earth. Specimens of various insects and mammals. Many equipment emphasize the concept of interaction. Various minerals and the long stories of the aboriginals. There is also a Discovery area.
The desktops of scientists make people feel very involved. The Royal Exhibition Hall opposite is also very beautiful. By the way, the iMax on the underground floor of the museum is the third largest iMax screen in the world. After walking out of the museum and wandering around in this bohemian cultural circle, Fitzroy & Collingwood is still very beautiful. All the way to the Gelato Messina ice cream shop.
This ice cream shop is known as the mecca of frozen desserts. Take a bite of the world-renowned Italian gelato and you'll know why. This is truly the best ice cream Yunluo has ever had, with a rich and delicate taste and just the right sweetness. A scoop. AUD, A scoop. AUD, A scoop. AUD. Then read a book at the Victoria State Library in the afternoon.
It would be a shame not to study in such a beautiful library. The State Library of Victoria, one of the largest libraries in the world, has a collection of countless items. You can even play chess at the door. The quiet dome reading room is full of reading atmosphere. The amazing octagonal vaulted reading room completely fascinated Yunluo.
If you study in such a cultural place, it would be a pity if you still can't learn well. Today I plan to go to Williamstown, a friendly port town, to hang out. There are two companies at the berth of the South Bank Promenade, both of which provide round-trip tickets to Williamstown. The boarding point is near Langham Hotel.
Although it was a little rainy today, I still felt that Williamston was a leisurely and comfortable town. You can see the visitor center as soon as you get off the boat, and you can get a 10-minute walking route map. Have a cup of coffee and play with birds by the sea, watching seagulls flying around. Chat with the owner of the store. Eat some high-calorie but delicious cakes. (~^~)
