Discover Adelaide: Truly Beautiful, Truly Rural Escape Experience

The first day was a revelation: The streets were impeccably clean, the cityscape breathtakingly beautiful, and the urban planning truly exceptional. What on earth is the Victorian government doing? Can’t they open their eyes and take a look at South Australia next door?

By the third day, I was already pining to return to Melbourne! How to explain it… I got disoriented at the National Financial Meeting in Changsha, but after just three days, I had memorized the routes to every corner of the city [smiling R]. On the outskirts, each day felt like a sunny afternoon on Chinese New Year’s Day in a bustling domestic commercial center—perfect weather, serene and peaceful [doge].

But honestly, it was stunning! Just wandering around the city, three days felt more than sufficient. The bus rides might be a bit lengthy, but they are still manageable, and you can even use Apple Pay directly on board.

If you have the chance, I highly recommend driving yourself around Kangaroo Island. Joining a tour group often means hours of travel for just a few minutes of photo ops, surrounded by a crowd of elderly travelers. The sea lions, though, are absolutely adorable [shy R][shy R][shy R]—round and plump, waddling along with such charm.
