Highlights:
Kings Park is located west of downtown Perth, next to the University of Western Australia, and is one of the largest urban parks in the southern hemisphere. The terrain here is relatively high, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the whole Perth and the Swan River. It is a natural place for Perth citizens to rest. A total of more than 6,000 kinds of flowers and plants have been planted and cultivated in the park, of which 3,000 are unique wildflowers in Western Australia, including the state flower "Kangaroo Claw". The WildFestival held here every year is a major event in Western Australia and the largest wild flower show in the world, attracting tens of thousands of tourists. When you come here, you can see tens of thousands of potted plants, books about flowers and planting tools in addition to the usual flowers such as helichrysum, kangaroo claws, eucalyptus flowers and mangosteen. A long time ago, Kings Park was an important gathering place for Australian Aboriginal people, so it still retains the imprints left by the Aboriginal people at that time. There is an Aboriginal Culture and Art Museum in the park for people to visit. In addition, there is a state war memorial in the park to commemorate the soldiers killed in the two world wars, and the eternal fire in the square is to mourn the souls of those who gave their lives for the country.
