| | | |  | | The Richness of Australia's Gold Coast | Which city in the world has golden-sand beaches, exciting activities for both nature and city lovers, and an average of 300 sunny days per year? It's none other than Australia's Gold Coast.
With over 50 kilometers of beautiful coastline, the Gold Coast is a great spot for a seaside vacation. January is a perfect time to visit because the holiday crowds have gone and the weather is pleasantly warm. Swimming, surfing, and whale watching are just some of the activities you can do there. You can also relax by taking walks along the beaches and enjoying the fresh ocean air, the sound of rolling waves, and the feel of sand between your toes.
The Gold Coast's main entertainment area is Surfers Paradise, but it's not just for surfers. The area has many shopping malls, amusement centers, and restaurants as well as the Q1, one of the world's tallest residential buildings. At the top of this 78-floor tower is the SkyPoint Observation Deck, where people go to catch wonderful views of the Gold Coast and beyond. | | | | 南半球的旅遊天堂——澳洲黃金海岸 | 世界上哪一座城市擁有金黃色的沙灘、提供喜愛自然及城市風情的人刺激的活動，還有每年平均三百天的艷陽日？它正是澳洲的黃金海岸。
有著超過五十公里美麗的海岸線，黃金海岸是個海濱度假勝地。一月是造訪的絕佳時機，因為假期人潮已經散去，而天氣又溫暖怡人。游泳、衝浪和賞鯨只是你在這裡可以從事的一些活動。你也可以沿著海灘散步，享受清新的海洋空氣、滾滾的浪濤聲和腳趾間沙子的感覺來好好放鬆一下。
黃金海岸主要的休閒娛樂區是「衝浪者天堂」，但不只是衝浪客才能來。這個地區有很多購物商場、娛樂中心和餐廳，還有世界上最高的住宅大樓之一的Q1大廈。在這個七十八層的塔樓頂是天頂瞭望台，大家到那裡去看黃金海岸及遠方的美景。 | | 《 詳細內文請翻閱NO.212 1月號Live互動英語雜誌 》 | | | | | | |  | | | add oil
