### Canberra | The Underrated "Cool Capital"

Who says a capital city can only be serious? This "garden city" perfectly blends art, nature, and everyday life! --- 📍 **"Cool Facts"** 🔹 Australia's only inland capital, with obsessive-compulsive urban planning (the entire city is axially symmetrical!) 🔹 Extremely high per capita concentration of museums/art galleries, 99% art lovers 🔹 The autumn ginkgo avenue is breathtakingly beautiful, known as the "Kyoto of the Southern Hemisphere" --- 🌟 **5 Must-Do Romantic Things** ✅ Row a boat across Lake Burley Griffin and share the morning light with black swans ✅ Climb Mount Ainslie and overlook the geometric beauty of Parliament House ✅ Steal a moment with Monet's "Water Lilies" at the National Gallery of Australia ✅ Cycle along the shores of Lake Burley Griffin and discover countless Instagram-worthy spots ✅ Enjoy the limited-time autumn offer! Ginkgo rain in Commonwealth Park + mulled wine market --- 🎨 **Areas with Super High Art Concentration** ▫️ **Parliament House**: Sneak onto the rooftop lawn and pretend to be the "master of the country" ▫️ **National Gallery of Australia**: Dreamy combination of rainbow glass walls + Yayoi Kusama pumpkins ▫️ **Cockington Green Gardens**: Miniature Dutch windmills + Sydney Opera House are too cute to resist --- 🍴 **Locals' Secret List** ☕️ **Lonsdale St**: A coffee lover's paradise! Packed with trendy brunch spots 🍷 **Wineries**: A 40-minute drive to the cool climate region, where Chardonnay reigns supreme 🍔 **Late-Night Eateries**: Burger vans in the parliamentary district, with juicy beef patties! --- 📸 **Tips for Taking Stunning Photos** 🌅 Sunrise shots: Reflection of the National Carillon + pink lake light 🌆 Dusk shots: Backlit hair in the rose garden of Old Parliament House 🌌 Night shots: Geometric light and shadow of the National Library + starry mode --- "In Canberra, even the wind carries the discerning eye of a curator—too mundane scenery is not worthy of appearing in this city of cool aesthetics."
