Destination & City Travel Guide
About Melbourne
Melbourne’s centre is organised on a grid, making it easy to pair Federation Square with nearby galleries and the Yarra riverfront. Queen Victoria Market and the Royal Botanic Gardens deserve separate outings rather than a hurried loop. Tram routes cover the inner city, while trains open coastal and regional day trips. Indian travellers often have relatives or university appointments here, so a flexible plan is useful. Melbourne Airport has no passenger rail station; the express bus reaches Southern Cross, where city trains and trams connect.

What's new in Melbourne
November 2025: The Metro Tunnel opened with five underground stations, adding access to Parkville, the central city and the St Kilda Road area.
February 2026: Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury trains switched fully to the tunnel, while Frankston services returned to the City Loop, changing useful interchange routes.
Tips for travellers from India
Southern Cross is convenient for a SkyBus arrival, while a stay nearer Flinders Street suits Federation Square and the river. Melbourne Airport still requires a road transfer; the Metro Tunnel is a city railway project, not an airport rail link. A hotel near the central tram network can simplify the final leg after the express bus.
The Free Tram Zone covers a defined central area, so check the boundary before riding towards the Royal Botanic Gardens or farther suburbs. Queen Victoria Market belongs to the northern side of the centre, while the gardens sit across the river from the main grid. The Metro Tunnel’s Town Hall and State Library stations connect with established central stations, and Anzac gives the St Kilda Road area another rail access point. At the airport, international flights use Terminal 2, while domestic airlines use other terminals. An onward flight within Australia therefore needs the domestic terminal indicated by the carrier, even when both legs appear on one booking.
Best time to visit Melbourne
March to May or September to November, roughly 11–24°C, for parks and streets.

About Chengdu
Chengdu has several reasons to stay beyond a brief airport connection. The Giant Panda Breeding Research Base is best visited early, while Wuhou Shrine and nearby Jinli Street work well later in the day. Kuanzhai Alleys and People’s Park offer a different pace around tea and local snacks. Travellers from India should check that their ticket uses Shuangliu Airport, since Chengdu has another major airport at Tianfu. The two are far apart and require different transfers.

What's new in Chengdu
December 2025: Metro Line 30 opened from Shuangliu Airport Terminal 2 East, adding a rail option across the southern urban districts.
July 2026: Shuangliu Terminal 1 resumed international operations; EVA Air moved its Chengdu flights there from 31 July.
Tips for travellers from India
Chunxi Road is a useful hotel area for a city stay, while accommodation around Wuhou Shrine favours the shrine and Jinli Street. Neither location puts the panda base next door: that attraction belongs on a separate northern outing. Pair Wuhou and Jinli together, then reserve another part of the visit for People's Park and Kuanzhai Alleys.
Shuangliu has Metro Line 10 as well as the new Line 30 option at Terminal 2 East. Pick the route by the destination district and interchange, rather than assuming every airport train runs directly to the same central station. Tianfu Airport requires a different transfer plan altogether.
Du Fu Thatched Cottage is another reason to spend time west of the main shopping streets. It can anchor a literary and garden visit instead of becoming a quick detour on a panda day. Keeping the panda base, Wuhou area and western cultural sights on distinct outings gives Chengdu a more realistic rhythm for a short visit.
Best time to visit Chengdu
March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for outdoor visits.

Airport Information & Terminals
MEL: Melbourne airport. Melbourne airport transfer should be matched to the exact hotel, suburb or meeting area. Rail can work well for light luggage, but late arrivals, winter weather and family baggage often make a direct cab or booked transfer easier.
CTU: Chengdu airport. Airport access in Chengdu depends on arrival time, terminal, hotel location and local traffic. Confirm the airport name on the ticket, then choose between official taxi, app cab, airport bus, rail or hotel transfer based on luggage and time of day.
