💞Reasons to Recommend: Aside from being known as the home of various Australian government infrastructures, agencies and museums, Canberra is also famous for the biggest celebration of spring, where trails of tulips can be found throughout the city.
Day 1️⃣ We decided to explore the Parliament House, Regatta Place, Cherry Trees Grove, and Australian War Memorial.
Day 2️⃣ We followed the trail of tulips from the Canberra Times fountain towards Commonwealth Park to celebrate Floriade. It was fun!
📌Optional: Mount Ainslie Lookout

A feast for the eyes, and a mood booster.
Canberra, where there are few people. The biggest advantage of having few people is that the city is less worn out and looks new. It is said that if you don't go to Lake Burley Griffin and see the jet fountain, you can't say you've been to Canberra. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I've seen the fountain. The willows on the lakeshore sway gently, the flowers are in full bloom, and the distant trees and corridors look a bit like the willows and fish in West Lake!
The legendary grand flower show is set in Commonwealth Park on the side of Lake Burley Griffin. Maybe I thought it was a waist-high sea of flowers, or maybe the pear tree blossoms all the way in the morning raised my expectations. To be honest, the first sight of the flower show was a bit disappointing.
Although it is said to be the largest in the southern hemisphere (there should be few big countries in the southern hemisphere), it doesn't feel very big and can be visited quickly; but looking at these clusters, clusters, and pieces of colorful flowers competing for beauty, millions of flowers are blooming in the sun and spring breeze, and the eyes are full of spring colors, this scene is still very spectacular.
People's mood will change with the environment. Seeing such a flower show, no matter how bad the mood is, it will be reversed!

FLORIADE - a celebration of spring
Floriade is a flower and entertainment festival held annually in Canberra's Commonwealth Park on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. This year (2022), it's open from September 17 to October 16.
Actually I traveled to Canberra for business purposes. I stopped by there briefly on October 11th. I'm so lucky! The blooming flowers have not been damaged by the high intensity of rain :)
It is very recommended to visit Floriade. I got refreshed before the meetings. When I was there, student groups from some schools showed their talents and performances.
There were also several stalls selling food and household items. Because I am a moslem, it's a little bit difficult to find halal foods, but vegetarian foods are also delicious. So, no big deal :) #floriade #canberra
