    With nine-year-old children who love painting to enjoy the works of French Impressionist painters more than 100 years ago, let children get edified in the paintings, ear-stained, record their favorite works with the camera, and continue to enjoy after returning home. This is the satisfaction that art brings to us. It can last a long time.

    The Yarra River is 242 kilometers long and has 25 bridges across it. It is the mother river of Victoria. There are cruise ships docked on the riverside. You can get on the boat from the pier and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. Every evening, the aroma of restaurants, lounges and coffee shops on the shore is wafting. Sitting there, listening to leisurely music, crossing your legs, and slowly letting your thoughts drift away, it is not an ordinary comfort!
