Discovering Hobart: A Cherished Journey to Tasmania’s Earthly Paradise

The laid-back life in Hobart, Tasmania 🇦🇺 in the Southern Hemisphere is a dream that everyone should aspire to…
With its vast, unspoiled landscapes and sparse population, long hours of sunshine, pristine air, and breathtaking scenery, Hobart offers a serene and almost untouched experience. The lack of commercialization (it’s said that there are only 20 people competing for one job here!

How blissful!) adds to its charm.
By 6 PM, the streets become almost deserted, with shops closing their doors, except for a few Chinese restaurants (a testament to the hardworking spirit of the Chinese community).

Living in a house by the sea, waking up to the sun and the ocean… reading books, practicing yoga in the warm sunlight—such a life is not only healthy but also profoundly peaceful and beautiful. It truly embodies the ultimate ideal life for an “i” person.

Here, humans and wildlife coexist in harmony, showing mutual respect (a mother duck can confidently cross the road with her ducklings, without a care for traffic lights 😂). People also show deep respect for one another. On the roads, even if driving slowly, no one will honk, and not even large trucks will overtake. When crossing the road, cars will courteously give way to pedestrians.

(Staring from the sheep 🐑) In this expansive land, it’s just me, a lone human, and a large flock of sheep… So, I’m the odd one out 😂 (Sheep’s inner monologue: What are you looking at?) Australia truly exemplifies the concept of vast land and sparse population.

(Sunset in the city center) So vast, so quiet, so beautiful…

I would call this the “Hokkaido” of the Southern Hemisphere. The people of Hobart must have a special love for blue, as there are many blue cars on the road, and even the rental car I got was blue. In the many days I’ve been here, I’ve never seen another Asian face within a ten-mile radius. It’s such a hidden gem, such a tranquil city! Having lived in Sydney for a few years, I genuinely prefer Hobart, and I would love to live here long-term if given the chance.
