Introduction

Fed Square is located in the center of Melbourne, Australia. It covers an area of 3.2 hectares and is adjacent to the Yarra River. The unique architectural style exudes the charm of Australian Aboriginal culture. The square is a holy place for people to gather, and the tourist center is a focus.
