A feast for the eyes, and a mood booster.

Canberra, where there are few people. The biggest advantage of having few people is that the city is less worn out and looks new. It is said that if you don't go to Lake Burley Griffin and see the jet fountain, you can't say you've been to Canberra. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I've seen the fountain. The willows on the lakeshore sway gently, the flowers are in full bloom, and the distant trees and corridors look a bit like the willows and fish in West Lake! The legendary grand flower show is set in Commonwealth Park on the side of Lake Burley Griffin. Maybe I thought it was a waist-high sea of flowers, or maybe the pear tree blossoms all the way in the morning raised my expectations. To be honest, the first sight of the flower show was a bit disappointing. Although it is said to be the largest in the southern hemisphere (there should be few big countries in the southern hemisphere), it doesn't feel very big and can be visited quickly; but looking at these clusters, clusters, and pieces of colorful flowers competing for beauty, millions of flowers are blooming in the sun and spring breeze, and the eyes are full of spring colors, this scene is still very spectacular. People's mood will change with the environment. Seeing such a flower show, no matter how bad the mood is, it will be reversed!
