Melbourne【Bus】Great Ocean Road【Bus】Melbourne
Today we depart from Melbourne, heading south along the winding Great Ocean Road to the legendary town of Split Point. First, we'll visit the Great Ocean Road Chocolate Factory, where you'll have the opportunity to watch our talented chocolatiers handcraft a variety of amazing classic chocolates. Afterwards, we'll travel to Split Point Lighthouse, affectionately known as "Little Red Riding Hood" for its vibrant red top. Like a fairytale guardian of the sea, every photo taken here captures a healing, Miyazaki-esque feeling. Passing through the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch, which tells the story of the road-building legends of WWII veterans, we continue our journey to the picturesque seaside fishing village of Apollo Bay, which awaits your visit. Here, you'll find wide white sand beaches, stunning scenery, and a crescent-shaped bay. Next, we'll visit the Twelve Apostles, limestone pillars that once connected the continental cliffs. Waves and strong winds eroded the rocks, first creating caves, then arches, and finally towering 45-meter-high pillars. Here, you can choose to take a helicopter tour (at your own expense) for a breathtaking aerial view of the Twelve Apostles and some of Australia's most magnificent coastal scenery. Finally, we will proceed to Loch Ard Gorge. After the tour, we will return to Melbourne. Itinerary: Melbourne → Anglesea Riverbank (pass by) → Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery (10 mins) → Split Point Lighthouse (15 mins) → Memorial Arch at Eastern View (15 mins) → Apollo Bay (60 mins, including optional lunch) → The Twelve Apostles (60 mins, helicopter optional) → Loch Ard Gorge (30 mins) →Melbourne

Melbourne City Day Tour
Today's one-day tour of Melbourne city will start from the Melbourne Parliament House. Its magnificent marble columns and glass curtain walls interweave a solemn and modern symphony in the sun, like a three-dimensional constitutional history book standing quietly. Turning the corner, you can see the Gothic spire of St. Patrick's Church. The complex reliefs built with a large number of stone carvings are the largest church in the Southern Hemisphere. Walking in Fitzroy Gardens, this is one of the main garden landscapes in Australia in the Victorian era, and it also adds luster to Melbourne's title of "Garden City of Australia". After leaving the garden, we will go to the creative center of the city-Federation Square. Continue to stroll along the Yarra River. The breeze here is always lazy and poetic, and the river water is rippling in the sunset. The yellow arches of the next stop Flinders Street Railway Station will pull time back to the Victorian era, as if you can see the hurried footsteps of travelers a hundred years ago. Finally, step into the University of Melbourne, where the quaint buildings and modern facilities complement each other, showing the unique charm of the century-old school. After the trip, you will be sent to Melbourne Airport to leave the group, officially ending this fulfilling and wonderful journey! Itinerary: Parliament House (Outside visit, 20 mins) → St. Patrick's Cathedral (20 mins) → Fitzroy Gardens (Optional Captain Cook's Stone House, 20 mins) → Federation Square (20 mins) → Yarra River (20 mins) → Flinders Street railway station (20 mins) → The University of Melbourne (20 mins) → Melbourne Airport *The duration of stay at the scenic spot is for reference only, and the actual stay time will depend on the overall arrangement of the tour guide and weather factors on the day.
