February 21, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Lovely, laid-back Melbourne has something for everyone: family fare, local and international art, haute boutiques, multicultural dining, Australian and Aboriginal history, spectator sports, and pulsing, swanky nightlife. Cruise on the free City Circle Tram loop to check out unique attractions like the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Healesville Sanctuary, which buzzes with local animal species.

Sun Yat-sen Statue

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Sun Yat-sen was a medical doctor, but he spent most of his life promoting revolution in China. Eventually he was successful. The Xinhai Revolution (1911) overthrew 5,000 years of imperial rule. Dr Sun was the first President of the Republic of China. He is revered by Chinese everywhere. His life-sized state can be seen in Chinatown, near the Chinese Museum. It is a good likeness.

Museum of Chinese Australian History

Located in the heart of Melbourne's Chinatown, the Chinese Museum's five floors showcase the heritage and culture of Australia's Chinese community. Our purpose is to operate a museum, to promote and preserve Chinese Culture and history - especially of Australian-Chinese history in Australia.

Melbourne's Chinese history is really interesting. The unspoken yellow tax of Australian's history is revealed here. In the heart of China town and free on Chinese New Year.

Curtin House

Reviewed By carriemariev - Manchester, United Kingdom

A Melbourne local took us to the rooftop bar and we liked it so much we returned a second time. It's slap bang in the middle of the CBD near the Chinese quarter so there are excellent views, but going into Curtin House and taking the lift gives you the feel of something exclusive. The drinks selection is good too.
