    This bridge is both old and historic, and is one of the few that crosses the famous Yarra River. You can access the water via a variety of paths, ramps, and stairs, but the left side, on the east side near Federation Square, is very useful. On the north side of the river is Flinders Street Station, which is Melbourne's main train platform, although there are trams as well. Federation Square is also on the north side. The main shopping area is also here. The south side is home to the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria), the Art Spire, and many performing arts centers (concerts, plays, theater, etc.). South Bank is the South Bank, which has high-end cafes and restaurants. If you want to get on and off the Yarra, there are many places to book. The larger ferries come from the north side and the smaller ones come from the south side. Whether from the east or west, the views from the bridge are fantastic, especially at night. You can still find some of the original construction sites from Melbourne's early buildings, such as the lighting and the blue gems, which we made.

    I love this bridge, not this city~ On a winter day when the sun shines all over the earth Wearing a down jacket, strolling on Prince Bridge You can see pigeons at the nearby Federation Square Life is leisurely and the pace is super slow The hustle and bustle of domestic life suddenly came here Lonely, lonely, lonely, not good But the scenery is really beautiful I can only endure it for a week, hahaha See you next time~

    Princes Bridge connects the central business district to Melbourne's southern suburbs. Pedestrians cross the bridge to reach the National Gallery of Victoria and the arts precinct. It is also popular among cyclists. Trams running along St Kilda Road cross the bridge. When John Batman declared in 1835 that "this is a place for a village", it was clear that Melborne needed a good bridge. Construction of the current bridge was completed in 1888. The bridge is 30 meters wide and 120 meters (400 feet) long. This sturdy bridge is made of bluestone (Melbourne's favorite building material), granite, concrete and cast iron. It served Melburnians for more than 100 years. Princes Bridge is one of the oldest arch bridges still in use. Incidentally, the bridge was named after Edward, Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII.
