Give some information about the Eureka building to friends who like to reach high. Come to Melbourne, do you want to experience it?
Eureka Building (net Chart)
Highest in the Southern Hemisphere? Melbourne Eureka
Perhaps because my size is not as tall as my refrigerator, so I always like to stand high, see far away, the skyline is awesome. So when I got to Melbourne, the Eureka Building on the south bank was where I was going, because it overlooked Melbourne and the Yala River 360 degrees without a dead angle. Melbourne's attractions are concentrated in the CBD district, which can be reached almost without a foot. After feeding the pigeons from the famous Union Square (Cosplay Liang Zhaowei), I crossed a bridge and arrived.
The meaning of "Eureka"
If there is no meaning behind the name, the building loses a bit of charm. Australian history is not the mainstream of world history, but I personally wish I could know on the way. Eureka's name derives from the "Eureka uprising" (Eureka Rebellion), a rebellion that took place during the Victorian gold rush of 1854, and the struggle between miners and colonial forces was seen as the beginning of democracy in Australia. So the language of architectural design began: the gold crown on the roof was the past of the gold rush, the red stripes were the blood of the rebellion, and the white line was the flag held high by the insurgents.
Far away, Eureka, by:Lain.
That's what it looks like. Let's go inside and take a look.
Wait a minute! I need to buy a ticket.
Eureka Building (Eureka Tower) precise size is 297.3 meters, or the world's second-tallest residential building. Imagine buying an apartment here, living in it, isn't it God's point of view? The highest viewing platform in the southern hemisphere is on the 88th floor of the Eureka Building. As soon as you enter the door, it is the place where the tickets are sold. Next I'll knock on the blackboard to explain why I want to buy tickets ahead of time.

As soon as you enter the door, it is the ticket point. Tickets are divided into four types. Let's look at the picture and talk:
- Viewing platform Observation ($20 per adult; $11.50 a bear child; and some family tickets)
- Fringe Edge ($12 for an adult; $8 for a bear child; and some family tickets)
- Round-the-clock tickets Sun & Stars ($25 per adult; $17 a bear child; and some family tickets)
- The annual ticket Annual memberships (does not know, you have to ask the staff)
Tips：
The Edge is an extra experience next to the viewing platform, which can't be accessed by buying it alone. So if you want to go, you need to pay for the edge of the viewing platform.
Ticket Information by:Lain
After I read the price list, silently pulled out the mobile phone to open the APP horse honeycomb, want to see the price of the network channel, the result is at least 40 yuan cheaper than on-the-spot purchase tickets! Although the customer service told me I could help with the tickets immediately, the scenic spot now needs to print these tickets in paper to get in. But I was already at the foot of the skyscraper and there were no photocopying shops around, so. My point is: had to buy tickets at the counter, if he planned to go to Eureka in Melbourne, buy tickets at home and then print them out, without spending too much money.

Eureka Skydeck 88
In less than 40 seconds, two dedicated elevators pushed us to the 88th floor of the building, the Eureka Skydeck 88 viewing platform. A circle of floor glass allows 360-degree, non-dead-angle observation of Melbourne, as well as ants-like vehicles and pedestrians. In particular, the observatory features 30 viewers and related explanatory materials to help people accurately observe important landmarks throughout Melbourne, and these telescopes are free of charge.

The Terrace
If you don't want to look through the floor glass, go to an outdoor area called "The Terrace" (or balcony). Although there is no glass, but more protection net, if you want to take a picture, you have to put out the camera lens. The little balcony will be closed when the wind is strong.

The Edge
"The Edge" (that is, edge) is an extra paid viewing experience. It is a fully transparent enclosed glass cube that stretches out of the edge of the building for a few minutes. If you look down at it, it's a sight! In short, it is not recommended to fear height, claustrophobic, heart disease friends to experience. But I personally feel more general, because you are not allowed to take pictures while inside, only the staff to help you shoot, and then the high price to sell you photo! ($15)

The Photo
As I just said, if you take a picture in The Edge, you can come out and buy it at a souvenir place. I didn't think it was expensive, and then I took a picture from afar and felt stupid.
