In addition to being Perth's Chinatown, Northbridge is also home to a cultural and entertainment hub for locals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Just a few minutes walk from the city center. On weekends and holidays, the bars, nightclubs and cafes in the Northbridge area are packed with customers. It is one of the largest concentrations of restaurants in Australia.

There are over 100 restaurants to choose from, with a particular focus on Lakestreet and James Street, ranging from Chinese, Indian, Greek, Egyptian, Thai, Vietnamese to Italian. In addition, the Perth Cultural Centre block is also here, and there are in this neighborhood.

the WesteAustralia Museum, the Artgallery of WesteAustralia and the WesteAustralia State Library in the Alexander Library Building.

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

Finally got the chance to ride the famous Perth free "Cat" bus line (because the Blue Cat line ends at 7:30, and the other lines end at around this time.)

At this time, it was already 7:05, and if you don't sit again, you may not have a chance. Yunluo and An Qingju took the "Blue Cat" bus line through the central area of Beiqiao and the Swan River in the south, Yunluo and An Qingju only took 2 stops, sat on the south of the railway bridge, and then walked back to Beiqiao, to the Western Australian Cultural Centre district, which is also located at the ground rent of Beiqiao (east end of James Street):

This is the Perth Cultural Centre block signage erected at the entrance to James Street, Perth's cultural centre district. On this sign, you can see that there are museums in the neighborhood (WesteAustralianMuseum) and the Art Gallery of WesteAustralia.

Cultural facilities such as the WesteAustralia State Library and the Western Australia State Theatre in the Alexander Library Building are also concentrated in the area.

The plane was delayed by about 7 hours because of the storm, and before leaving tonight, there was an unexpected light rain, Yunluo and An Qingju could only interrupt to enjoy such a wonderful animation, and got up and left here to go to the bus station to take bus No. 37 to the airport.

Yunluo and An Qingju crossed the bridge again. Walk along Barrackst to bus stop 37 on the Swan River:

1. When designing the route of independent travel, there must be sufficient margin for the connection of aircraft and flights, otherwise once the plane is delayed, it may not be able to catch the next flight. Delays are a common occurrence, as Yunluo and Anqingju were supposed to arrive in Perth at 1:05pm on the first day.

As a result, due to a storm at Perth Airport, I arrived at the airport late at 8.15pm, which would have been miserable if I had to pick up the next flight.

The whole plan will be messed up. Since independent travel is not arranged through a travel agency, once something goes wrong, especially in a foreign country, it is very troublesome for an individual to solve this kind of thing in a place where he is not familiar with his life.

2 There is no free water supply at Sydney Airport, and the bottled water sold is expensive, so you can buy bottled water in the city. Drink a little more before going through security and then on the plane. There's free water on Jetstar flights. Even if it's a budget airline flight, there is also a free supply of boiling water.

3 In Australia, even if you take a domestic flight, from Sydney on the east coast to Perth on the west coast. You can't bring fruits and raw produce either!

Yunluo and An Qingju didn't know this, so they ended up bringing 3 apples they bought in a Sydney supermarket. When he went out, he was targeted by a police dog, but he was stopped by the beautiful policeman, and after knowing that Yunluo and An Qingju had brought fruit, he immediately asked Yunluo and An Qingju to take them out and throw them into a collection bag.

Yunluo protested against how there was such a rule in her country, and as a result, she casually gave Yunluo a copy of promotional materials. Sure enough, there is such a line above, because the land of Australia is too large, and the agricultural products of one state may carry some pests and diseases that are not available in other states.

4 Prices in the Northbridge area of Perth are much cheaper than South of the Railroad Bridge (the so-called city centre, which is actually just a short bridge away), so in addition to shopping, it is also a great place to shop and eat.

Taxis in Australia are fully equipped and accept all kinds of payment methods, including credit cards, which has to be said to be quite convenient. There's also plenty of cargo space behind the car.

It's not a problem to pack 4 large boxes, and it's not a little better than the big looking expo car. The on-site dispatch of taxis at the airport is also in place and orderly. According to personal observation, Australian taxi drivers are mainly Asan, South American and Middle Eastern people, although their English sounds a bit difficult.

But overall it was more professional and welcoming. In addition, according to Yunluo's observation in Australia, no black cars have been found, and the price of large cars and small cars is the same, so you can rest assured that you can sit in the car, and there is no need to waste time by picking a car.

Fares start at around $36 with an additional $24 per kilometre. Calling for a ride costs $22 more. Between 22:00 and 6:00, an additional 20% of the fare will be charged. Credit cards will be charged an additional 10%, and the airport will be charged an additional 4~5 Australian dollars for a ride at a designated location.

There is no need to tip the driver. However, locals are accustomed to rounding up the fare to express their gratitude for the service.

Prices start at around $36 and add $24 per kilometre. It doesn't seem expensive, but it's a big mistake. The frequency of the Australian taxi meter jumping off the meter is completely beyond your imagination. Especially when waiting, the speed is much faster than when it is open, according to the visual measurement of Yunluo, it should jump 1 hair every 1~2 seconds.

You can jump about 2~3 yuan at a red light, and if you encounter a traffic jam, it will really burn money. Once in Sydney encountered a traffic jam, due to the inconvenience of getting off the bus, about 10 minutes of waiting, the meter on the extra about 15 yuan, the driver is not bad, to the place where you can get off.

Said to Yunluo, you just go down here, go down from here and cross the road, the straight-line distance is about 200 meters to the destination (one-way street, the car has to go around in a circle, estimated 4~500 meters), otherwise it will be blocked and opened to the destination port, and it will be more than 25 pieces.

Therefore, it is necessary to be well prepared to take a taxi in Australia, although it is much more convenient than in Europe (most places in Europe require a reservation to call a taxi), and stop as soon as you wave. But the cost is even higher than in Europe. If you need to ride, you should prepare enough budget in advance to avoid exceeding your budget.

Of course, Australia's public transportation is not cheap, you can check it in (Note 2), anyway, Yunluo remembers that Yunluo once took the light rail in Sydney, from Chinatown (Chinatown) to the casino (Thestar), 3 stops away, about 5 minutes or less, 45 Australian dollars / person.

(If you buy a round-trip ticket on the same day, it is 6 Australian dollars / person, which is considered a discount) According to the exchange rate at the time, it is equivalent to 10 RMB per person per station. Later, Yunluo specially walked another day, and when he didn't walk fast, it would take about 20 minutes. All in all, transportation in Australia is expensive, and it is recommended if you travel with 4 people.

And if you have a driver's license, it is better to travel by car, because although the price of oil in Australia is not cheap, it is still less than that of the Celestial Empire (according to the 65 exchange rate at the time, about 7 yuan or more RMB, and the exchange rate has reached about 53 at the time of writing). And the cities in Australia are very small.

Although the parking fee is also very high, there are places where you can park temporarily, and in general it is relatively cheap, so be careful to drive on the left.

When I arrived at the casino, it was still early, so I left my luggage at the casino hotel and browsed the casino. Overall, it's pretty good. The design is relatively modern, although it is not very big, but it is very convenient, whether it is transportation or shopping (there is also a supermarket next to it, many daily necessities can be bought in it)

After a while, Yunluo and An Qingju arrived at the famous Sydney Fish Market, probably because of the meal, and it took some time to park.

After coming down, I took a cursory glance, and it felt very average on the outside. The façade is not big, nor magnificent, in fact, I later learned that this is a typical Australian style, everything is the pursuit of simplicity, simplicity, and the emphasis is on nature, so in Australia, you will never see the magnificent façade and huge advertising.

Some are just a simple sign with his name written on it. Yunluo likes nature very much, but at the beginning, he didn't adapt to the gap between Australia and the Celestial Empire.

Yunluo and An Qingju, under the leadership of their friends, began to kill the fresh seafood they had loved for a long time, haha.

The first one to go was of course the booth of Aolong, and the first time I saw the legendary Aolong, I was still very excited.

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

Aolong is actually not cheap, about 60 Australian dollars a kilogram, Yunluo and An Qingju are not big, but there are 6 catties, and it will cost about 1000RMB.

Later, when eating, Yunluo deliberately paid attention to the diners around him, except for the tourists who also came from the Celestial Empire, most of them were a little Aolong, and almost all the foreigners were fried squid rings with French fries and drinks on the table. It can be seen that this is not something that everyone can eat. (To be continued.) )
