Melbourne’s laid-back vibe is really in its DNA.

Having traveled across more than 80 countries around the world, I never expected that Australia would be the seventh continent I have visited. At this point, I have traveled all over the world. This time I came to Melbourne on a business trip, but in between work I still felt the leisurely feeling in the DNA of one of the “Top Ten Most Livable Cities in the World”. Stay at the Pan Pacific Melbourne Hotel on the Yarra River Wharf. The entire hotel lobby is designed to look like the interior of a sailboat. The ocean-patterned carpets and coral-designed walls commemorate the new continents discovered during the Age of Exploration. The view from the 270-degree panoramic suite is amazing. When I opened the curtains, the early summer sunshine from the southern hemisphere poured into the room. The housekeeper said, "Here is all the Melbourne you want." I think it was at this moment that I fell in love with Melbourne. Strolling along the Yarra River downstairs, playing "Spend the Long Years with You" on repeat, I want to come to Melbourne and be a seagull in my next life. A day trip in Melbourne is enough for walking. The recommended route from the hotel is: Flinders Railway Station - St. Paul's Cathedral - Hosier Lane Graffiti Street with Jay Chou - Royal Arcade 🛍️: There is an outlet mall next to the hotel, which has a full range of brands including UGG, Timberland, The North Face, Victoria's Secret, etc. It's a ten-minute walk across the river to take the free tram. ✈️: China Southern Airlines/China Eastern Airlines flights, direct flights of 10+ hours 📒: Australia one-year/three-year multiple-entry electronic visa, no need to hand in passport, apply at any time Pan Pacific Melbourne
