¡¡The time winds back

As the political, economic and cultural center of Tasmania, Hobart seems to have few aspects of modernization in comparison with other provincial capital cities in western developed society. There are no tall buildings, wide highways, international airport and five stars hotel. However in Tasmania you can always feel serene, comfortable and ease, leisure, fresh and beauty. Coming to Tasmania it is as if you are stepping into a place that has changed very little in the last century, as the Land of Peach Blossoms (earthly paradise) described in a Chinese story¡£

Taking a stroll along the street in Hobart, you will find colonial buildings in the downtown vicinity. Walking into Hobart is almost as if you are visiting an architectural museum, and the  wooden handicrafts in the stores, made from the ancient Huon pine,  show thousand years¡¯ history of these trees with their clear annual rings.

In Australia¡¯s famous historic town Richmond, when you see the orderly streets, the oldest stone bridge in Australia and the oldest church in Australia, you feel as if you have stepped back in time by 200 years .

 Colonial Architecture

Hobart is said to be a city with the most English style and features. Apart from Hobart, most cities and towns in Tasmania also have a strong English style and features.  Early English immigrants to Tasmania built these towns on the other side of the world far from England according to their memory and perhaps to relieve their homesickness.  There are many buildings with English styles of the 19th century, such as the Victorian era and Georgion era ¡­ Hence Tasmania is like a gallery of English buildings from the 19th century. These buildings and towns copied from England gives the impression that England is just in front of you. Visiting Tasmania is like being in another place in another era.   

¡¡Superb food and world class wine

Tasmania¡¯s fresh air, pure water and rich land, in addition to the use of  restricted agrochemicals means that marine and agricultural products are clean and have excellent  nourishment value. If you visited Tasmania but failed to eat up lobster, abalone, oyster and salmon, you would like to regret it. Similarly, if you have not tasted apples produced in Tasmania, you should not appreciate the significance of  ¡®apple isles¡¯.

Cool weather, rich land, abundant grape cultivation combined with advanced wine technique has yielded  Tasmania¡¯s red and white wine, vintage wine and vapor wine in different varieties, including the famous Chardonnay, Pinot, Riesling, Cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc and Semillions etc..  In the International Wine Exhibition 2000 in Hong Kong  and 2002 in Sydney, Tasmania¡¯s cool climate wines were awarded 2 gold medals with some silver medals.   With such world class wines in before you, can you resist tasting them?
