Centred at the eastern end of Little Bourke Street, Chinatown sits next to the Swanston commercial street in the bustling Melbourne CBD. Chinatown is a one-way street, nearly fully occupied with Chinese restaurants and grocery stores. With Chinese signs everywhere, locals not only come here to enjoy Chinese cuisine, but also to experience Chinese culture and art. During Spring Festivals, Chinatown is extremely lively with all kinds of traditional performances, such as lion dance, dragon lantern show, etc.

Melbourne is a marvelous place, one side nestled against the blue sea, the other leaning against a rock in flux, creating beautiful roads between the cliffs and wonderful scenery along the way, nothing can match it. Coffee is life, even more so, it is the attitude of life. Go to Melbourne and have a spiritual conversation with nature. From the wine-growing Yarra Valley to Dandenong Mountain Range, from the Great Ocean Road with its magnificent ocean views to Philip Island, where wild little penguins are lining up, this natural capital in the Southern Hemisphere will show you an undisturbed world where you can listen to the crystal clear sounds of nature amidst immersive greenery.

The ancient Puffing Billy Railway started in the early 20th century and is now a famous tourist train, becoming one of the more popular tourist activities in Melbourne. The small train has witnessed historical changes in Melbourne for the past hundred years. The small train, with a speed of only 20 kilometers per hour, takes you back to the not so distant past. The open wooden carriage allows you to intimately connect with nature and breathe in the purity of forest air. Shortly after the train leaves the Belgrave station, passengers will see the most famous landmark of the Puffing Billy railway line, the Monbec Creek Trestle. In addition, there are many stations along the way where passengers may exit the train.
