☕️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.

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.

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💩

The highlights of my Melbourne trip... frolicking horses roaming around the down town city is like time traveling back to the 19th century of Victorian England. This photo I took of the famous Flinder Street station captures the paradox of modern advancement with old cultural heritage all in one photo. The new trams speedily go up and down the street whereas the horses slowly gallop and take on tourists. Only in Melbourne where you can see such a paradox.
The second highlight is obviously the coffee! Best coffee in TOWN. Best coffee in the world! This was a free cup of coffee I’ve received at the Fine Foods Exhibition which is held annually at Southbank (but I’m not sure if it’s still happening this year due to Covid).
All artsy cultural loving people should definitely
pay a visit to Melbourne. It is full of art, heritage, amazing coffee and lovely people.

The City of Diversity, Melbourne.
Flinders Street Station, renowned for its long history and beautiful architectural design. It was a must-visit spot during my trip to Melbourne, so I decided to check it out. Located in the heart of the city, it was bustling with people, and the building itself exuded a grand and classic charm. Looking at the station, I felt as if I was traveling back in time.
However, amidst the crowded throng, I also felt some discomfort. True to its reputation as a city where various races live together, people's attitudes were also diverse. Generally, the atmosphere was relaxed and free, but there were also instances of people not adhering to rules or manners. People blocking the view while taking photos, cutting in line. Among them, the behavior of certain races stood out, which was quite surprising.
This was the most challenging part of my trip to Melbourne. But upon reflection, perhaps such discomfort is something to be accepted in a place where people from diverse cultures live together. Understanding and respecting differences might be the true charm of this city.
The emotions I felt in the heart of Melbourne were complex, but the vibrant colors of the city will remain in my memory for a long time.

The one-day route of City Walk starts from Flinders Street Railway Station, with one side of Hosier Lane, one side of Royal Archery, one side of Arch Corridor, one side of Rainbow Building Blocks, and one side of Chinatown.

Flinders Street Station was known as the Melbourne Terminus, essentially a massive collection of weatherboard sheds. It became the very first steam rail station in all of Australia. With thousands of people coming together surrounding the track to see the first public steam train.

The Iconic Train Station in Australia
📍Address: Flinders Street Station, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
No doubt, this train station is a must-visit in Melbourne, thanks to its stunning architecture.
As one of the largest train stations in the city, it’s always bustling with activity. I’ve taken a train from here to the outskirts, and I can attest that the place is consistently crowded.
Getting There - You can easily reach the station by taking a train to Flinders Street from your nearest location in Melbourne. Alternatively, trams and buses from the city also stop here.
Attractions - The station is just a short walk from Federation Square (right across the street), the National Gallery of Victoria, and the Yarra River.
Food & Restaurants - You’ll find plenty of delicious snacks available in the area.
Shopping - There are several shopping centers located just outside the train station, along with tram stops for easy access.
I couldn’t capture the perfect shot of the station due to the crowd, but I think the people contribute to its charm and uniqueness. 😌

Melbourne Travel Sharing~
Just returned from Melbourne, and I can't wait to share my travel experiences with you all.
Let's start with the advantages of Melbourne~ First of all, it has an incredibly diverse range of attractions. The Great Ocean Road is simply a paradise on earth! Standing on the edge of the cliff, watching the waves constantly crashing against the rocks, the grandeur of it all is indescribable. And the Twelve Apostles, standing quietly in the ocean, seem to be telling ancient stories. The penguin parade on Phillip Island is just too cute! Watching those little penguins waddle back from the shore, my heart was melting.
There are also many places in Melbourne's city center that fascinate me. Flinders Street Station, with its ancient architectural style, makes me want to take a few photos every time I pass by. St. Paul's Cathedral is even more majestic and solemn; the moment I walked in, I felt my soul being purified. And the State Library of Victoria, reading and studying there is simply a pleasure, the rich academic atmosphere is intoxicating.
Melbourne's cultural and artistic atmosphere is really amazing! Every piece of street graffiti is so creative, I feel like I'm walking in a giant art gallery. Various museums and art galleries also feasted my eyes, where I saw many exquisite artworks and felt the diverse charm of culture.
I also particularly like the pace of life here. Unlike big cities that are so busy and tense, people can leisurely drink coffee in cafes or sunbathe and read on the lawns of parks. I followed the local rhythm, slowed down, and enjoyed this tranquility and comfort. And the food is amazing! Whether it's Western cuisine or Asian food, you can find something very authentic. I tasted all kinds of snacks at the Queen Victoria Market, it was truly a feast.
However, there are some things about Melbourne that I find less than perfect. The weather is incredibly changeable! One day I went out when it was sunny, and then it started raining, making me scramble to find rain gear. So, when going to Melbourne, you must always check the weather forecast and bring several different outfits. Also, in terms of transportation, it can get a bit congested during peak hours, and if you're driving, you have to get used to left-hand driving, which can be a bit tricky at first. Additionally, during the peak tourist season, there are so many people, especially at popular attractions like the Great Ocean Road, so you must book tickets and accommodation in advance, or it could be quite troublesome.
But overall, Melbourne is truly an amazing tourist city! This trip has left me with so many wonderful memories. If you are also planning a trip, consider Melbourne, I believe you will fall in love with it too!

Flinders Street Station in Melbourne
The predecessor of Flinders Street Station dates back to 1854, when it was just a small wooden house appearing on Elizabeth Street as a train station. The day it officially opened was the first time a steam train appeared in Australia, and it is also the oldest city station in the country. The currently operating Flinders Street Station, built in 1901, has 14 platforms and has always maintained a Victorian style on the exterior, but its interior is now equipped with modern facilities such as escalators and LDC passenger information displays.
