Birmingham
Casablanca2019
I have lived in Birmingham for two or three years. There is no London classic, no York Romance and no Edinburgh atmosphere in the post industrial British city, but it used to be my home. Municipal square, Bullring Shopping Center, is like the wateredge of Jiangnan Water Town. Remember to go to bar on the top floor of indigo 20 to have a drink, overlooking the night view of Birmingham!

Victoria Square
维多利亚广场

Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK. It is an industrial city, not a tourist city. It is the birthplace of British democracy and industrial revolution. The main buildings were seriously damaged when the German army bombed Coventry in World War II. Today's buildings are mainly built after World War II. Only Victoria Square in the center of the city retains some pre World War II buildings. Victoria Square is the center of Birmingham, with 19th century style town hall, town office and city post office. The name of the square is because of the statue of Queen Victoria in the square, but the interesting thing is that the statue is not in the middle, not in the front door of the city hall, but on one side, and in the middle is a large sculpture, the official name is "the river". The local people call her "the woman in the Jacuzzi", representing youth and eternity.
Birmingham China Town

There are many Chinese in Birmingham, and the scale of China city is relatively large. I have lived in Birmingham for nearly half a year, and I found that because there are many people living in Guangdong in China's city, the commodities here are mainly spices from the south, and some spices from the north can't be bought. In terms of price, the goods in Chinatown do not have price advantage, sometimes they are more expensive than Tesco.
Birmingham Central Library

Go to the library. As a one-day tour of Birmingham. Forget what time it opens, but it's not very early. The library is still very beautiful. Chinese books are underground. Not a lot. There are unknown love stories and four famous works. That's it. Students have always said, how can we put it together like that. But in any case, it's amazing. Yes, we just went to find the legendary Chinese books and saw them from the top floor to the underground. Ha ha ha ha There are two open platforms. Sky garden. It's also leisure.
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery

Highlights: a hall in Burne Jones, several halls in front of Rafael, a small archaeological exhibition in the corner of the first floor, and a glass inlaid exhibition hall beside the round hall. Birmingham's development history is a feature, but the exhibits are not very good-looking. Those in ancient Greece and Egypt can't compare with those in Britain. The former Raphael's paintings are many and excellent. It's easy to find. And it's been rearranged recently. After two days of watching it, I always felt that the business was not very good. For example, I was looking forward to the new exhibition, but there was only one small hall Some places have not been arranged well. I have never seen so many museums where exhibits have been removed. I don't think people will look carefully But the first floor is good, with the world's largest watercolor painting, and Burne Jones's manuscript for many church decorations, which is very shocking. Many of the original works are in the Tate National Museum in London. His family has collected 2400 BJ works, only a small part of them are released (it's a pity that we can't see all of them). It can be seen that all of them are excellent works, which is especially worth seeing. The only thing I don't like is the lighting. I have been to many art galleries. This is the worst lighting. There are many useless decorative light sources on the roof. Before Rafael's oil paintings are basically a group of small spotlights from a high place against the painting. It looks like a strong light. You can't see clearly by looking at the details of the painting, only the glass is very reflective. Color glass is also, no light source really can't see color! The staff was very friendly and helped me find the lost scarf. Both the water and gas halls are rented, and there is no exhibit. Remember to find the staff to ask for the map. The exhibition hall is very complex. Without the map, you will definitely miss several small halls upstairs.

Center! shopping mall！ Mini but quite complete. Walking street + German market at Christmas + small shops on the street + cinema + shopping mall... Etc. The boxing day of the day after Christmas is here. Besides, it is close to Birmingham railway station, which is basically the only way to get in and out of Birmingham
St Martin Church
伯明翰圣马丁教堂
8.729 reviews
Located in the heart of Downtown Birmingham, St. Martin church is a typical baroque building with a history of more than 700 years. The exterior of the church is magnificent, especially the red brick walls are covered with green plants, with dark spires and stained glass windows, giving people a sense of vicissitudes and heaviness of history! Unfortunately, I arrived too early to visit.
University of Birmingham

The lawn outside the library is a good place for sun and picnic in spring. The mobile hot dog car and ice cream car sell wonderful things. Each teaching building has its own style, and although the preparatory classroom is remote, it is green and has a different flavor in the old house. The school is very big. I haven't finished my study for half a year. It's a good choice to take a walk in school when the weather is good.
Cadbury World

It's very difficult to buy tickets. It's difficult to buy tickets on the same day if you go there. It's suggested that you book tickets online a few days in advance. You can get there by train from Birmingham railway station and back and forth on the same day. Get off the train and walk about 10 minutes to Cadbury chocolate world. There are so many children in it. It's noisy. In addition to the visit, Cadbury chocolates are sold here.

The place where I have classes in Birmingham is not far from the canal area. There are many cafes, restaurants and shops nearby. The development around the canal is OK. It's good to visit here at weekends. Interestingly, the house price in Britain is relatively expensive. Some young people will buy a boat if they can't afford a house. They will take the boat as their home. If you walk near the canal, you can often see several such boats.
