[Australia's Great Ocean Road] Magnificent coastal scenery, return to the Grampians

#NaturalLandscape #100TravelWays The Great Ocean Road is one of the most famous self-driving routes in Victoria, Australia, and is known as one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world. This 243-kilometre coastal road winds from Melbourne to Victoria's southwest coast, passing stunning sea views, ancient rainforests and charming towns along the way, with surprises hidden around every bend. Jay Chou filmed the MV for "Hair Like Snow" here, making this magnificent coastal scenery a pilgrimage site for many tourists. ### First stop: Torquay and Bells Beach Starting from Melbourne, we first came to Torquay, the starting point of the Great Ocean Road. The town is one of the birthplaces of Australian surfing culture and is home to the headquarters of many surfing brands and surfing museums. You can stop at Bells Beach, a world-renowned surfing spot that hosts international surfing competitions every year. If you love surfing, you might as well rent a surfboard here and experience Australia's surfing culture for yourself. ### Second stop: Lorne - the poetry of a small town Continuing along the Great Ocean Road, you'll come to Lorne, an idyllic seaside town. Lorne has a beautiful beach, great for sunbathing and leisurely walks. You can taste the local seafood here or spend a leisurely afternoon in a cafe. The Erskine Falls here is also a tourist attraction worth seeing. The waterfall falls from a high altitude and is surrounded by lush rainforest. The scenery is spectacular. ### Third stop: The Twelve Apostles - the wonders of nature Going further, you will reach the essence of the Great Ocean Road - The Twelve Apostles. These huge limestone columns standing in the Southern Ocean are a masterpiece of nature. When Jay Chou was shooting a MV here, he was shocked by the magnificent scenery. At sunrise or sunset, the sun shines on the stone pillars, dyeing them golden, and the waves hit the stone pillars, making waves echo, all of which make people feel the power and beauty of nature. You can enjoy this magnificent view from the observation deck, or choose to take a helicopter to overlook this wonder from the air and feel its grandeur and shock. ### Stop 4: Loch Ard Canyon - Explore the Secrets of the Coast Not far away, Loch Ard Gorge is another attraction not to be missed. The canyons, caves and arches here form a unique geological landscape where you can stroll and explore the secrets hidden in the coastline. The Loch Ard Gorge is famous for its spectacular cliffs and blue waters. Legend has it that this is the destination of many shipwrecks, the most famous of which is the story of the sinking of the "Loch Ard". You can walk along the trails down into the canyon and experience the majesty and mystery of this area for yourself. ### Stop 5: Apollo Bay - Leisure time on the coast After your epic journey to the Twelve Apostles, head to Apollo Bay, a seaside town ideal for rest and relaxation. Apollo Bay attracts visitors with its beautiful beaches and tranquil atmosphere, where you can enjoy fresh local seafood or take a leisurely walk on the beach. The scenery here is picturesque, making people feel a carefree freedom and relaxation. ### Last stop: Grampians National Park - Return to nature The end of the Great Ocean Road can be extended to the Grampians National Park, one of Australia's most popular nature reserves. The park has spectacular mountains, waterfalls and hiking trails, where you can enjoy a journey in close contact with nature. Especially at sunrise or sunset, standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the entire national park, you can feel the peace and happiness of being one with nature. ### Conclusion The Great Ocean Road is not only a picturesque road, but also a journey full of surprises and touching moments. Whether it is the magnificent natural scenery or the visual memories left by Jay Chou here, this place is full of countless beautiful moments. When you drive along this winding coastline, breathing the fresh sea breeze, with the boundless ocean and spectacular cliffs before your eyes, you will feel the indescribable freedom and happiness.
