Some animals are sleeping during the day or winter, so it’s quite depends on the seasons and the weather if you are going to have a good day in the zoo, I am lucky that I saw lots of animals that I have never seen before, very happy about it. No issues with the pre booked ticket at all.
The zoo is of moderate size and the exhibition area is well designed, where you can observe many Australian animals up close. It is the only zoo in Australia with pandas. Compared with watching pandas in China, you don't need to squeeze in with people, so the experience is still very good.

It is recommended to visit Adelaide in the summer, there will be many activities and various handicraft markets, as well as small theater performances and juggling, with a wide variety! The botanical garden is also beautiful. Adelaide is a city surrounded by the sea. Each beach has its own characteristics, and the sunset is very beautiful! In short, its beauty can only be felt after experiencing it.
Beautiful garden iconic landmarks, 3 hours not enough for all. The green house, museum, lake and paths. Free entry

There are many kinds of things you can buy in the market. I think it’s amazing. The fruits and vegetables in Australia are very big, and there are also many desserts. I bought donuts, which are very delicious.

Victoria Square is also a very authentic city core area. It is the most bustling and prosperous high-rise building and economic center of the entire city. There are many hotels here. You can taste and buy many Australian specialty items and souvenirs.
Victoria Square is the largest commercial square in Adelaide. In the center of the square is a very beautiful musical fountain. At night, there will be a musical fountain and a very beautiful laser show. The square is surrounded by Adelaide's famous commercial district. It can be said that the central city of Adelaide is worth visiting.

Penfolds wine is the most famous wine in Australia and is also a popular brand in China. There is a special wine experience area for this brand in Adelaide, where you can taste, learn about and buy this wine.
Penfolds Magill Estate in Adelaide is one of the famous branch estates of Penfolds. The four series and seven series of Penfolds wines produced here are all top-quality Penfolds wines. Here you can taste the real Penfolds brand wine, which tastes very mellow, and you can also visit their vineyards. Watching their winemaking process is very meaningful and worthwhile.

Walking into this library, it's like seeing the hall of Hogwarts in the movie. The interior of the library feels so old, the lighting, the furnishings, and even the railings are very special. The bookshelves are full of old books, the paper has become soft and thin, and the books have become lighter! At each table, everyone is studying on their own. I feel that studying here should also improve their grades. 🏛 The library is located between the University of Adelaide and the Art Gallery of South Australia, just opposite Roundle Mall, and there are museums and art galleries next to it, completing three check-in points at one time
Very nice experience. a place to relax and read a book while surrounded by antique decor and lots of literature

Glenelg Beach is also a free place. Adelaide is a city close to the coastline. The urban area is not very large and there are many tourist resources. The wine here is also very famous. You can come here to taste it slowly.
Moseley Beach Club has started again. Every summer, MOSELEY puts some lounge chairs on the beach. This year, GLENELG added a new star-shaped decoration in addition to the Ferris wheel (Figure 1).

Luxury & local goods street
Artistic shopping street by museums

Landau Shopping Street is near North Street and is also a very good shopping choice for locals. There are not too many luxury stores on the shopping street. They are all relatively acceptable local brands and handmade items. It is suitable for a slow walk here.
Adelaide is a relatively large city with complicated road conditions. I drove very carefully. I finally reached the city center and found that there were very few parking lots. I found one, which cost $7 an hour. It was expensive, so I had to park.
The famous Blueway Pedestrian Street is located above the parking lot. It is the commercial center of Adelaide, with various shopping malls. If you like shopping, come here.
