After an hour of flight, Tiger Airway touched down safely and landed at Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne. Going to spend 6 days 5 nights in Melbourne alone.
After checked into the Hotel Enterprize, I spent the rest of the day to explore in Melbourne city. Went to St. Kilda as well. Will blog about it in the next post.
passed by Melbourne Aquarium
The free Melbourne City Circle Tram
One of the old-style trams. It's free City Circle tram that takes you around the city square and points out major attractions and their location.
Flinders Street Station is the central railway station of the suburban rail network of Melbourne
Melbourne City has the interesting town square called Federation Square. And this is a good place to start Melbourne sightseeing.
Unique architecture of Federation Square in Melbourne
I went to DFO (Direct factory Outlet) shopping mall that located in front my hotel. I got cute cute shirts for myself and siblings from Jay Jay. I also found out perfume at DFO cheap, cheaper than duty tax. (^0^)
On my second day, I just stayed in my room. Reached city quite late after Philips Island day tour. Continue exploring the city on my third day after Mornington Peninsula day tour that ended early. Walked to the other direction that leads me to Yarra River and Crown Casino.
Southbank and the firey Crown Casino
beautiful sunset
Melbourne Exhibition Building
Magnificent views of the Melbourne Skyline
Crown Casino
I don't dare to enter the casino because I'm wearing a slippers and #@$^*% poor. From Crown I walked to the Eureka Tower which is now the tallest building in Melbourne. The observation deck is on the 88th floor and treats you to some awesome city views. I will blog about this brilliant experience in another post^^

Went to Chinatown that located along Little Bourke Street between Swanston St and Spring St. This is an area of Chinese restaurants and shops.
The area is dominated by restaurants from fine dining to lane way and arcade noodle houses, and is home to a number of Asian grocery stores, Chinese medicine and herbalist centers.

My last night in Melbourne. After showered, begin by walking up Swanston St, opposite bustling Flinders Street Station, and past the magnificent St Paul’s Cathedral.

Again, I'm here in Chinatown for dinner. Decided to have Chinese food as I miss home so much already (T__T)
Walking down Little Bourke Street and found Post Mao Cafe situated toward the top end of Melbourne's Chinatown. Specialized in Cantonese and Hunan cuisine. According to the waitress, their chef's master chef is 93 years old and used to cook for Chairman Mao Zedong. Wow....
