First Trip to Australia: Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns, Brisbane

One summer morning, a little past six, walking on the streets of Guangzhou, with sparse pedestrians and cars, the morning air slightly cool, and suddenly I thought of Brisbane in the Southern Hemisphere, a city somewhat similar to Guangzhou, and recalled the trip nearly a year ago. So I decided not to delay any longer and organize this memory properly.

Another late spring morning, I opened my long-unvisited personal homepage and couldn't help but chuckle at the lines above, because another nine years had passed...

Following the principle of not backtracking, I chose to enter Australia via Melbourne and exit via Brisbane. So my first impression of Australia was this globally livable city.

Accommodation: Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne

Checked the Ctrip order: 3 nights for 3,627. It was my first long-distance independent trip, and I was with my daughter, so safety and comfort were important. I didn't dare to skimp too much, so I chose a moderate hotel. It was my first time staying at a Radisson, and it was great. Outside the hotel was an unbeatable park view. Though the decoration was simple, it was super clean.

Street views: A few photos above—buildings full of history, retro trams. Melbourne is like a huge architectural museum.
