    "Loves this historical building & beautiful scene under the moon. Must visit here if ur visit Brisbane, best place to take photo shoot.📍Brisbane City Hall Clock Tower"
    Brisbane.Brisbane Central Business District
    261m from downtown
    Highlights: Brisbane City Hall is the symbol of Brisbane and the most magnificent city hall in Australia. This prismatic tower building with Italian Renaissance style was built in 1930. The big bell on the clock tower rings every 15 minutes to remind Australians to cherish time and not waste time. 1. Brisbane City Hall is known as the "Million City Council" Before the completion of the Sydney Opera House in 1971, Brisbane City Hall was the most expensive building in Australia, so it was called the "Million City Council". You can feel the ancient atmosphere of this town hall from the outside, or you can take the elevator to the 78-meter inner observation deck, overlooking the King George Square next to the town hall and the chessboard-like streets of Brisbane, and you can enjoy the slow flow The Brisbane River through the city. 2. The atmosphere of art and culture around the city hall is strong. From the observation deck, you can pay attention to the beautiful interior decoration of the city hall: marble stairs and mosaic walls, which look like a long-standing artwork. If you are interested, you can visit the art galleries, museums, concert halls and libraries inside. There is an open-air plaza in front of the hall, where exhibitions, concerts and various celebrations are often held.

    "We had a great experience here through historical evaluation information of the major landmarks around Brisbane. The view was very interesting. No need to worry about air conditioning, very comfortable on a sunny day. It was a great experience."
    South Brisbane
    528m from downtown
    Highlights: The Brisbane Ferris Wheel is located in the South Bank Park, the heart of Brisbane leisure and entertainment. It is about 60 meters high and is a major landmark here. Taking a ride on the Ferris wheel, you can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city over the Brisbane River. The Ferris wheel rotates 5 times each time, which lasts about 15-20 minutes. Although the speed is fast, the whole process is very gentle. When you reach the heights, the Ferris wheel will hover for a moment, and the audio guide will point out famous Brisbane landmarks, allowing you to better appreciate the scenery in front of you. If you come at night, you can see the night under the city lights on the Ferris wheel, which is even more charming. After riding the Ferris wheel, you may wish to take a stroll in South Bank Park, there are many restaurants, snacks and entertainment.
