When it comes to alleyways, you may first think of Melbourne for literature and art. However, in Australia, the birthplace of alley culture is our Sydney! As early as 1840, Sydney had been drinking and chatting and painting their lives in the alleys.
Sydney has thousands of alleys, too many to have a complete count. These alleys permeate Sydney's soul like capillaries.
The most authentic food, the most attractive cocktails, the most moving music, the most amazing ideas are hidden in these alleys!
1 Abercrombie Lane
-100 years of cocktails-
Between Pitt St and George St, the main roads of Sydney's CBD, there are many alleys, one of which is the Abercrombie Lane, which, though unremarkable, is the oldest one!
It avoids the noise of CBD perfectly, hiding quietly behind the tall buildings of the city, day and night.
Occasionally, there are some colorful chairs, the same table as an ironing board, and it is only then that there is a restaurant.
You can't imagine, however, that this was once the busiest bar street of the 1920s! Night and night music, wine interlaced.
A hundred years on, only the most famous bar of the year is still here.
When you walk through this small door, you will be shocked by the time here, everything is the same as 100 years ago!
Even DJ and the bartender looked like the 1920s!
People who know this place, must be senior drinkers! Just because of one of Sydney's most attractive cocktails, the store lasted 100 years.
This 100-year-old recipe allows you to get drunk from the tip of your tongue to your heart.
If you like this shop, go out and turn left, these mottled red bricks, engraved with the comments of the guests!
Is there a cooler message book than this?!
This is Abercrombie Lane, opening Sydney's nightlife in the 1920s.
2 Angel Place
-lost in a birdcage-
Sydney's most famous alley Angel Place is really short! It's hiding by the Pitt St. If you don't want to miss it, please remember to look up!
When you stand at the entrance of the alley, you will be shocked by the dense birdcage on top of your head! This is one of Sydney's most famous permanent urban arts:
Forgotten Songs's forgotten melody
There are hundreds of all kinds of birdcages hanging here, but all of them are empty. For the elves who once lived on this land had long since disappeared with their moving voices-the price of the rise of the city!
Artists try to find 50 species of birds that once lived on the land from the mountain fields, recording 50 kinds of moving bird calls and playing them here.
Listening to the sweet birdsong, looking at the empty cage, the heart is really a bit lost.
If you miss these lost birds, look down at the ground, and their names are engraved here.
Although birds are unlikely to return to the city, these art installations have become a unique view of the city. Every day with the change of light and shadow, these cages will present a beautiful picture.
Every angle looks beautiful.
This is Angel Place, opening up a world of empty spirits.
3 Bridge Lane
-yesterday again-
Also in CBD's Bridge Lane, which was Sydney's earliest timber factory, it became the warehouse of Sydney's largest tea dealer and, today, an upscale hotel.
This is a brief history of the city of Sydney!
No matter it was the timber factory a hundred years ago, or the tea merchant later, it was the most prosperous industry of that year! As a result, it was once the commercial center of Sydney. Go in through this arch, rich and expensive!
This elegant gate can still see yesterday's brilliance!
Today, the largest warehouse here has become a famous Chinese restaurant, wine and food, deeply loved by the people of Sydney.
And this square mottled brick wall, because has the historical flavor, has become the fashion street photo resort!

4 Palings Lane
-French.-
It turns out that Palings Lane is famous because an art merchant named Palings took the piano to Sydney.
Since then, the city has had beautiful music.
Classical music-loving Palings, not only sells and teaches piano here, but also rents his house to others as a dance classroom. Gradually, people like to come here to listen to the piano, peeking at the ballet dancers.
Now, the piano and ballet dancers are gone, but it has become a more romantic place! It became the Champs Elysees in Sydney.
The same red canopy, the same coffee flavor, the same authentic French cuisine.
Here are the most authentic French desserts, French coffee, French restaurant.
Even many Frenchmen said they thought they would have returned to France without the Eiffel Tower and the Triumph Gate.
In particular, a French restaurant called Felix is definitely the ultimate romantic place for couples to date! From the flowers at the door to the dining-room furnishings, the impeccable details satisfy all women's romantic fantasies!
This is Palings Lane, opening up a romantic world.
5 Mcelhone Place
-Deep in Taoyuan-
Mcelhone Place is not in CBD, but in Surry Hills.. It is also not sandwiched in the middle of tall buildings, but in ordinary residential areas.
Decades ago, Mcelhone Place looked like this, a once-deserted slum.
Now, it looks like this! The residents here turned the whole alley into a garden!
From the slums to the most expensive alleyways, all because of a gardener who lived here many years ago.
Since he put a few pots of flowers on his doorstep, he has been out of control here!
Residents on both sides of the alleys, like the sun, changed their grey lives, imitated gardeners, and placed flowers and plants on their doorstep.
Even in order to match these beautiful plants, even the doors and windows are carefully painted!
Gradually, the whole alley life became a beautiful painting. Birds and flowers, talk and laugh freely.
Over the years, the homeowners here have changed waves after wave, but the tradition of planting flowers has been well preserved, as if every resident who moved here, will love gardening, love the day with the plants!
The sun is always fine in Sydney, where residents often walk out of their homes and sit on the floor, talking all afternoon.
They also welcome strangers to the pastoral life of their city!
If you come here in person, breathing the fragrance in the air, listening to the people in the alley warm chatter, will love this completely different Sydney alley!
This is Mcelhone Place,. It looks like he slipped into the depths of the peach.
6 Chinatown Laneway
-meet the blue ghost-
If you've all arrived at Chinatwon, be sure to see Kimber Lane, Sydney's weirdest urban art.
In Between Two Worlds
During the day, here is a wall full of auspicious clouds, as if in the folk story of China.
Overhead floating feet on the clouds of the little boy, like an angel in the blue sky, pure and beautiful ~
But at night, when the lights were on, it turned into another world.
In the blue light, the little angel became a ghost floating in the air, sending out an unspeakable ghost.
Jason Wing, a mixed-blood artist, created this "half-human and half-spiritual" image, combining Chinese culture with aboriginal culture, when he created the image, called In Between Two Worlds.

9 Rowe Street
-True Europe-
Although Sydney was once a British colony, the growing diversity of culture has diluted Sydney's European attributes, except here.
Rowe Street is known as Sydney's closest place to Europe.
European aristocrats love fashion and art, so they brought them to Sydney decades ago. There are a lot of fashion shops and galleries on Rowe Street.
Time change the city, but there is no European classical life here in change. Even now there are a lot of old galleries and tailors on, Rowe Street.
