Alice Springs, a beautiful town, is named after a girl named Alice. She once made a wish to put coins in the spring, only to find out that she was really an imperial concubine and lived happily ever after. This source of happiness has become the name of this town.

Later, the same name caused a lot of confusion, prompting the management of Adelaide to announce that the town was officially changed from Shi Chao to Alice Springs on August 3 1 65438.
