Tianya Haijiao cliff is located in the southwest corner of Kangaroo Island, facing the vast Southern Ocean. It is a wonderful place to view the sea on the island. From here, you can overlook two small islands called "Casuarina Islets". They are a paradise for birds. Because of the steep rocks on the edge of the islands, they can only be approached and not landed. Under the cliffs of Tianya Haijiao, the flagship arch standing along the coast is equally breathtaking. It is a natural arcade formed by the erosion of sea breeze and sea water for many years, and it is scoured by huge waves day and night. Follow a circular path beside the cliff to wind down, you can see groups of New Zealand seals.Flinders Chase · 18.3km from downtown

Adelaide Central Market has been open since 1869, with a history spanning over 150 years. It is one of the largest indoor fresh produce markets in the Southern Hemisphere, with over 70 stalls under one roof. Located in the heart of Adelaide, the market features vibrant aisles connecting the stalls. Fresh fish and meat, fruits and vegetables, international cheeses, artisanal bread, desserts, cured meats, nuts, spices, and freshly ground coffee are lined up along the way. Rather than just a place to buy ingredients, it is more of a gourmet maze where you can eat while you browse. The market developed from early morning street trading by immigrant farmers. Since then, immigrants from all over the world have brought in ingredients and culinary skills from their hometowns. European hams and sausages, Asian spices, and local South Australian fruits and vegetables are all showcased together, making it a microcosm of South Australia's diverse food culture. The market's main facade, built in 1900, is still in use today. Most stall owners here are happy to offer samples and chat about their ingredients. Chinatown is right next to the market, so if you get tired of walking, you can easily find a small restaurant to sit down and enjoy a big meal.Australia · Adelaide

Bumbunga Lake, more directly known as "Pink Lake", is about 130 kilometers from the city of Adelaide, just off the A1 Highway (PrincesHwy), from Adelaide to York Peninsula (YorkePeninsula) or It is the only way to go on the Eyre Peninsula. The lake is a salt marsh lake. Like most salt marsh lakes in Australia, the lake is very shallow, and the depth is only about 10 cm. The magic of the lake is that the color of the lake changes with the season, cloudiness and the time of day. , Generally speaking, after cloudy and rainy days, the salt lake is full of fresh nutrients due to the scouring of the rain, and the colors are particularly bright, and in the morning and sunset every day, it will be unusually pink. Depending on these factors, pink salt lakes can range in color from bubblegum pink to light purple. There is a small town Lochiel by the lake. It has a small population and is relatively quiet. You may wish to rest and stroll.Australia · Lochiel

The Flagship Arch is considered as two scenic spots here, and there is also the End of the Earth. The so-called End of the Earth means that this is the closest place to Antarctica in Australia. The Flagship Arch is worth visiting. In addition to the natural scenery, it is also a habitat for sea lions. You can also see many sea lions here. In fact, if you just want to see sea lions, you don’t even need to go to Seal Bay. There are more sea lions here than in Seal Bay. The scenery is of course very beautiful. This arch is really unique. It feels good no matter how you shoot it. By the way, there is also a little red hat here, a very beautiful lighthouse, but the disadvantage is that it is a bit far from the sea.

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.

Bumbunga comes from the Aboriginal Parnpangka, which means rain water lake. Along the way, there are iron sculptures, huge cockroaches, rats, tin men, flying saucers, big flies, etc. This is a very ironic set of sculptures made by private environmentalists using waste products to protest the government's plan to build a landfill in this area. Among them, next to the giant cockroach sculpture stands the title of "The World's Largest Cockroach" certified by Australia's Channel 9!

Handorf is a famous German town in Australia, located 50km west of Adelaide. Both the architecture and the local customs here have a strong German flavor. More than 90% of the residents here are of German descent, which can be regarded as an experience of other exotic places in a foreign country.

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
