Adelaide Central Market has been open since 1869, with a history spanning over 150 years. It is one of the largest indoor fresh produce markets in the Southern Hemisphere, with over 70 stalls under one roof. Located in the heart of Adelaide, the market features vibrant aisles connecting the stalls. Fresh fish and meat, fruits and vegetables, international cheeses, artisanal bread, desserts, cured meats, nuts, spices, and freshly ground coffee are lined up along the way. Rather than just a place to buy ingredients, it is more of a gourmet maze where you can eat while you browse. The market developed from early morning street trading by immigrant farmers. Since then, immigrants from all over the world have brought in ingredients and culinary skills from their hometowns. European hams and sausages, Asian spices, and local South Australian fruits and vegetables are all showcased together, making it a microcosm of South Australia's diverse food culture. The market's main facade, built in 1900, is still in use today. Most stall owners here are happy to offer samples and chat about their ingredients. Chinatown is right next to the market, so if you get tired of walking, you can easily find a small restaurant to sit down and enjoy a big meal.Adelaide · 250m from downtown

Cleland Wildlife Park is located about 19km southeast of Adelaide. Australian animals such as koalas, kangaroos and wallabies in the reserve seem to inhabit a real natural environment. Koalas eat for 5 hours a day and sleep for up to 19 hours. Although they don't like to be coquettish, they are still adorable. The animals kept in the park are almost nocturnal. If you take part in the "night tour", you can see the real side of the animals.Cleland · 9.8 km from Adelaide

Some animals are sleeping during the day or winter, so it’s quite depends on the seasons and the weather if you are going to have a good day in the zoo, I am lucky that I saw lots of animals that I have never seen before, very happy about it. No issues with the pre booked ticket at all.

There are many kinds of things you can buy in the market. I think it’s amazing. The fruits and vegetables in Australia are very big, and there are also many desserts. I bought donuts, which are very delicious.

Adelaide is a relatively large city with complicated road conditions. I drove very carefully. I finally reached the city center and found that there were very few parking lots. I found one, which cost $7 an hour. It was expensive, so I had to park. The famous Blueway Pedestrian Street is located above the parking lot. It is the commercial center of Adelaide, with various shopping malls. If you like shopping, come here.

Adelaide's Oval Stadium is a landmark building. It is also a famous sports stadium in Australia. Every weekend, there will be large-scale ball games here, and it will become very lively and crowded. If you happen to catch it, you might as well come and experience it.

Walking into this library, it's like seeing the hall of Hogwarts in the movie. The interior of the library feels so old, the lighting, the furnishings, and even the railings are very special. The bookshelves are full of old books, the paper has become soft and thin, and the books have become lighter! At each table, everyone is studying on their own. I feel that studying here should also improve their grades. 🏛 The library is located between the University of Adelaide and the Art Gallery of South Australia, just opposite Roundle Mall, and there are museums and art galleries next to it, completing three check-in points at one time
