In addition to Perth's Chinatown, Northbridge is also a gathering place for locals to cultural and entertainment. It is only a few minutes' walk from the city center. On weekends or holidays, the bars, nightclubs and cafés in Northbridge are crowded with guests, making it very lively. It is one of the largest concentrations of various restaurants in Australia.

More than a hundred restaurants to choose from, especially concentrated in lakestreet and jamesstreet, with a variety of Chinese cuisine, Indian cuisine, Greek cuisine, Egyptian cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine to Italian cuisine, etc. In addition, the Perth Cultural Center neighborhood is also here, in this neighborhood.

The Western Australian Museum, the Art Gallery of Westeaustralia, and the Western Australian State Library located in the Alexander Library Building.

Cultural facilities such as the Western Australian State Theatre are also concentrated in this area. The prices here are much cheaper than those in the south of the railway bridge, so in addition to shopping, it is also a good place for shopping and dining.

Finally I had the opportunity to take the famous Perth free "Cat" bus line (because the Blue Cat Line is about to end at 7:30, and the end time of other lines is almost at this time.

It was already 7:05 at this time. If you don’t take it, you may not have a chance.) Yunluo and An Qingju took the "Blue Cat" bus line by the central area of ​​Beiqiao and the southern Swan River. Yunluo and An Qingju only took 2 stops. After taking the south of the railway bridge, they walked back to the North Bridge to go to the Western Australia Cultural Center neighborhood, which is also located at the east end of the North Bridge rent (the east end of Jamesst Street):

This is a sign in the Perth Cultural Center neighborhood at the entrance of Jamesst Street in the Perth Cultural Center neighborhood. On this sign, you can see that in this neighborhood there are: the Western Australian Museum and the Western Australian Art Gallery (artgallery of Westeaustralia).

Cultural facilities such as the Western Australian State Library located in the Alexander Library Building, and the Western Australian State Theatre are also concentrated in this area.

The plane was delayed for about 7 hours because of the storm. Before leaving tonight, it encountered the unexpected light rain. Yunluo and An Qingju could only stop enjoying such a wonderful animation, get up and leave here and go to the bus stop to take bus No. 37 to the airport.

Yunluo and An Qingju crossed the bridge again. Walk along Barrackst Street to Bus No. 37 located by the Swan River:

1 When designing a free travel route, you must leave enough margin for the connection between the plane and the flight, otherwise if the plane is late, you may not be able to take the next flight. It is common to encounter delays in the plane, just like Yun Luo and An Qingju arrived in Perth at 1:05 pm on the first day.

As a result, due to a storm at Perth Airport, we arrived at the airport until 8:15 pm late. If we were going to take the next flight, it would be awful.

The whole plan will be messed up. Since free travel is not arranged through a travel agency, once there is a problem, especially if you go abroad, it is very troublesome to solve this problem in a place where you are unfamiliar with it.

2 There is no free water supply at Sydney Airport, and the bottled water sold is very expensive, so you can buy bottled water in the city. Drink more before going through security checks, and then on the plane. There is free water, on Jetstar flights. Even if this is a flight from an economical airline, there is free boiling water supply.

3 In Australia, even if you take a domestic flight, you can’t bring fruits and raw agricultural products from Sydney on the east coast to Perth on the west coast!

Yunluo and An Qingju didn't know this, so they brought three apples they bought in the Sydney supermarket. When they went out, they were targeted by a police dog, but were stopped by the beautiful policeman. After knowing that Yunluo and An Qingju had brought fruit, they immediately asked Yunluo and An Qingju to take it out and throw it into a collection bag.

Yunluo protested why there were such rules in this country, but she gave Yunluo a promotional material. Sure enough, there was such a thing on it, because the land in Australia is too large, and agricultural products from one state may bring some diseases and pests that are not found in another state.

4 The prices in the North Bridge area of ​​Perth are much cheaper than those in the south of the railway bridge (the so-called city center is actually just a short distance from a bridge), so in addition to shopping, it is also a good place for shopping and dining.

Australia's taxis are equipped with complete equipment and are acceptable for various payment methods, including credit cards. It has to be said that it is quite convenient. The cargo space behind the car is also very large.

Is it a complete problem to load 4 large boxes? It is not a little better than the Expo car that looks big. The taxi on-site dispatch at the airport is also very well arranged and orderly. According to personal observations, Australian taxi drivers mainly include Ah San, South American and Middle Eastern people, although their English sounds a bit difficult.

But in general, it is still quite professional and enthusiastic. In addition, according to Yunluo's observation in Australia, there has been no black car yet, and the prices of large cars and small cars are the same, so you can feel at ease when you see the car, without the need to pick a car and waste time.

The starting price is about AUD 36, with an additional AUD 24 per kilometer. You need to pay an extra AUD 22 for a taxi. You need to pay a 20% extra AUD between 22:00 and 6:00 the next day. You need to pay a 10% extra AUD , and you need to pay a 4 to 5 AUD when you take a taxi at a designated location at the airport.

There is no need to tip the driver. However, locals are used to filling in the fare to express their gratitude for the service.

The starting price is about 36 Australian dollars, and the additional charge of 24 Australian dollars per kilometer. It seems that it is not expensive, so it is a big mistake. The frequency of the Australian taxi meter jumps to the meter is completely beyond your imagination. Especially when waiting, the speed is much faster than when driving. According to Yunluo, it should jump 10 cents every 1 to 2 seconds.

You can jump about 2 to 3 yuan when you eat a red light. If you encounter a traffic jam, it will be a big money. Once, I encountered a traffic jam in Sydney. I was inconvenient to get off the bus halfway. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I had about 15 yuan on the watch. The driver was pretty good and arrived at a place where I could get off.

He said to Yunluo, just go down here, go down from here to cross the road, and walk about 200 meters straight to the destination (one-way road, the car needs to circle around, estimated to be 4 to 500 meters). Otherwise, if you block the traffic and drive to the destination port, you will have to spend 25 yuan more.

Therefore, you must be mentally prepared to take a taxi in Australia. Although it is much more convenient than in Europe (most places in Europe need to make an appointment), and you can stop by waving. However, the cost is even higher than in Europe. If you need to take a ride, you must prepare sufficient budget in advance to avoid exceeding your budget.

Of course, public transportation in Australia is not cheap either. You can check it out in (Note 2). Anyway, Yunluo remembers that Yunluo took the light rail in Sydney once, from Chinatown to the casino (thestar), 3 stops, which is about 5 minutes, and it's 45 Australian dollars per person.

(If you buy the round-trip ticket on the day, it is 6 Australian dollars per person, which is considered a discount) According to the exchange rate at that time, it is equivalent to 10 rmb per person per stop. Later, Yunluo walked one day and was not fast, only about 20 minutes. In short, the transportation costs in Australia are very high, and it is recommended that if you travel for 4 people.

And if you have a driver's license, it is better to travel by yourself, because although the oil price in Australia is not cheap, it is still less than that of the Celestial Empire (calculated at the time of 65 exchange rate, about 7 yuan more rmb, and the exchange rate was around 53 at the time of publication). Moreover, all cities in Australia are very small.

Although the parking fee is also very high, you can park temporarily in some places, which is relatively cheap in general. Just drive on the left.

When I arrived at thestar, it was still early. After storing my luggage in the hotel in the Casino, I browsed the Casino. Overall, it was still good. The design is relatively modern. Although it is not very large, I think it is very convenient. Whether it is transportation or shopping (there is also a supermarket next to it, and many daily necessities can be bought in it)

After a while, Yunluo and An Qingju arrived at the famous Sydney Fish Market. It might be due to the meal time, so it took some time to park the car.

After I came down, I took a quick look and found that the appearance was very ordinary. The storefront was not big or grand. In fact, I later realized that this was a typical Australian style. Everything pursued simplicity and simplicity, and emphasized nature. So in Australia, you will definitely not see a grand storefront and huge advertisements.

All he had was a simple brand that could not be simple, with the name he should have written on it. Yun Luo liked nature very much, but at the beginning he was not yet adapted to the gap between Australia and the Celestial Empire.

Under the leadership of friends, Yunluo and An Qingju began to fight against the fresh seafood they had long been looking for, haha.

The first one to go to was of course Aolong’s stall. I was still very excited when I saw the legendary Aolong for the first time.

The boss is good, although he is very busy, but after knowing that Yunluo and An Qingju came from a long distance, he still asked Yunluo and An Qingju to take a photo before taking action.

Aolong is actually not cheap either, about 60 Australian dollars per kilogram. The one in Yunluo and Anqing Jujube Spot is not big, but it is 6 kilograms, which cost about 1,000rmb.

Later, when eating, Yunluo paid special attention to the diners around him. Except for the tourists who were all from the Celestial Empire, most of them were a bit of Aolong, almost all the foreigners had fried squid rings and chips on the table. It can be seen that this is not something that everyone can eat. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
