Port Arthur Historic Site is a very important historical area of Australia. It was the first port of arrival in Australia by British colonists, and most of the sites were prisons and were the place where British prisoners were held at the time. Although it is broken, you can see that the prison here has been quite large and modern more than 100 years ago, it is worth the money to visit

    I am here #I am here# Port Arthur Historic Site Don't look at the beautiful mountains and clear waters here Now the green plants are lush and quiet. The quiet and quiet look like I thought it was sad and sleepy at the beginning. I didn't see the sky. I couldn't live in a prisoner.

    Traveling to Australia, this stop is in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, and the historic site of Port Arthur is one of Hobart’s most famous attractions. The historic site of the Prison Church, which was previously an ancient prison building, shows the local prison environment of more than half a century ago, and the justice system in Tasmania. Visitors can see the former courtroom here, or follow the dim stairs to the cell to see the cell's environment. I took a map to visit, the map marked a lot of places, now we see only a ruin, although the court, cells and other places, but also erected a sign, you can use your fantasy to imagine the original picture at that time.

    In the southeast of Hobart, there is a famous world cultural heritage site, Port Arthur Exile Site, which is one of the historic sites of Australian prisoners. Over 30 historic buildings, such as prisons, residences of supervisors, churches built by prisoners, are scattered across the vast land. Some are well-restored, some are still built in outlines, and others are piles of tiles. The admission tickets are A$37 per person, including Chinese tour guides and cruise ships. Every hour there are different language tour groups. Chinese tour guides lead you to travel 45 minutes later. The cruise ship lasts about half an hour. There is a small island on the sea called Death Island, which is dedicated to the burial of the dead. During 1833-1877, more than 1,000 people were buried there. Prisoners can be released to do crafts or small businesses, and can not return to Britain. I think the local white people living here today may be the descendants of these people.

    It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Hobart to the Tourist Center to buy tickets. According to the different contents of the tour and the different fares, the conductor patiently explained and recommended the half-day tour tickets according to our time, including a half-hour sea tour. This is the site of a British prison for local recidivists at the beginning of the last century. After several fires in the middle, only the stone exterior wall remained. But now it's well maintained here. Like a beautiful garden, the scenery of lakes and mountains is eye-catching. Sitting on a yacht, you can see the ruins. When approaching Death Island and Children's Prison, the captain carefully introduces the history of the scenic spots to you. He can also buy tickets to visit the island. Because of time constraints, we only chose to travel around the island. Now Port Arthur has become a park for people to spend their holidays and have no sense of gloom and terror.

    The place of exile, which once frightened prisoners, has become a scenic tourist attraction. It's really a vicissitudes of life. After a quick evacuation from a small mountain fire, it arrives at a quiet place and stands on a chocolate stone to see the sea.

    Port Arthur Historic Site in Tasmani, Italy, was put into use in 1830 and was then a purgatory on earth. Over the past forty years, more than 12,000 British prisoners in exile have been detained here. More than 100 years later, Port Arthur, though not as daunting as the colonial period, has a trace of vicissitudes and bitterness. The prison is surrounded by mountains, like a natural barrier castle, which was the most dreadful place for exiles at that time. People called it Hell Hole. There are more than 30 buildings, ruins and reconstructed antique houses, and so on. It takes you a day to visit them. Between Port Arthur and Tasmania, there is a narrow area of Shaanxi Province, surrounded by a large number of sharks, known as "the prison that can not escape". Visitors can visit ancient churches, powder depots, prisons and guard towers built by prisoners. There is also a prison museum full of peculiar style, you can see many pictures and objects of that time, even prisoners'clothes, whips and chains, etc., others shudder.
