点评:Like most visitors to Adelaide, we strolled through Rundle Mall, the city’s main shopping centre. We were not much interested in shopping but its a nice mall, with several striking sculptures and some lovely old buildings.
The most famous of these historic buildings is Beehive Corner but the beautifully restored 19th century Adelaide Arcade, with its old-world charm, is also worth a look.
It first opened its doors in 1885. The Governor visited, a crowd gathered and an orchestra played ‘The Adelaide Arcade Polka’. It was all terribly grand.
Today, it houses a range of upmarket shops and one-off, even quirky, shops. If you are in the market for buttons or vintage comics, you will find a shop selling it here.
There are a number of jewellers (including a Rolex shop) as well as a range of clothing and homeware shops. Essence of Australia and Gallery 33 have higher-end Australian souvenirs and Indigenous artwork.
There is a Haigh’s Chocolate shop but really, if you’re after Haighs, you should go to the original store in Beehive Corner instead.
翻译:和大多数来阿德莱德的游客一样,我们漫步在这座城市的主要购物中心——朗德尔购物中心 (Rundle Mall)。我们对购物没什么兴趣,但它确实是一个不错的购物中心,里面有几座引人注目的雕塑和一些可爱的老建筑。
这些历史建筑中最著名的是蜂巢角 (Beehive Corner),但经过精心修复的19世纪阿德莱德拱廊 (Adelaide Arcade) 也值得一看,它散发着古老的魅力。
它于1885年首次开放。当时总督到访,人群聚集,还有管弦乐队演奏了《阿德莱德拱廊波尔卡》(The Adelaide Arcade Polka)。一切都显得如此盛大。
如今,这里汇聚了一系列高档商店和一些独具特色、甚至有些古怪的店铺。如果您想买纽扣或复古漫画,这里总能找到。
这里还有许多珠宝店(包括一家劳力士店),以及各种服装和家居用品店。“澳大利亚精华”(Essence of Australia) 和“33号画廊”(Gallery 33) 出售高端澳大利亚纪念品和原住民艺术品。这里有一家 Haigh’s 巧克力店,但实际上,如果您想品尝 Haighs 巧克力,您应该去位于 Beehive Corner 的原店。
