London
肉肉的一月
London is a city that you want to visit more and more often. There are various cultural activities to satisfy your interests, independent stores to let you buy bankrupt and continue to buy, and seafood and steak to impress people on British food.

It's very European. It's different from the tall buildings in modern cities
British Museum
大英博物馆
9.53,033 reviews
This place can really be called a museum. Cultural relics from all over the world are properly kept here. In fact, how can cultural relics come? Let's not think about it for the moment. The British Museum keeps the world's civilization, so that many cultural relics can be protected from the destruction of war. If you are a museum fan, this place can really satisfy you. The British Museum is so big that you can't see it all in one day. If you want to It will take at least a week to see the museum. If you want to have a look at all the exhibits, I'm afraid you will live in London for a while. The scale of this museum is so large, but it doesn't charge a cent. However, the British museum guards civilization for human beings. I hope you can donate a little money to the place where you enter. Although the money is not much, it's also a part of your mind. After donating money, you can get a map of the whole museum, which is very convenient to visit.
Tower Bridge
伦敦塔桥

Tower bridge is not the same as London Bridge in the lyrics. Tower Bridge refers to tower bridge, tower bridge, tower bridge! Say important things three times! The tower bridge is named because it is next to the tower of London. It is said that the tower of London used to be a fortress building with defensive functions, and a prison for political prisoners and royal family members. The tower of London can be visited, and the crown of the queen is also on display here. It's worth a look at the jewels and scepters that are bright and blind! The tower bridge can be opened when a large ship passes. It's very interesting to see the whole process of opening and closing it when walking near the tower bridge one evening! You can also visit the (old) control room of the tower bridge (now it has been changed into a museum) if you are interested. When I went, I felt shaking on the bridge because of the gale and rainstorm, and the control room was still a little higher, so I didn't go there.
London Eye

Ferris wheel is not a rarity. Today, there is no Ferris wheel in any big city. Even so, I give full marks for London eyes, half for experience, the other half for staff. When queuing, the intensity of the line is very high, and the black pressure on a large head. I thought it would take an hour or two, but in fact, the idea was superficial, and I sat in the warehouse in about 40 minutes. The British seem to have a very mature set of methods for the efficient management and reasonable arrangement of large tourist attractions. Very experienced in arranging a large number of tourists to enter and leave the warehouse, fast, clear gesture and high efficiency. 20 people are allowed in each warehouse to ensure the comfort of everyone's riding and viewing. The whole queuing process is almost always moving, and I can hardly remember standing at a certain point. It's not easy to have such a pleasant experience in the hot spots of hot cities. I'm satisfied
Buckingham Palace
白金汉宫

Before arranging the itinerary, I must go to the official website to see if the queen is at Buckingham Palace. If she is there, she will not be able to enter. This year, Buckingham Palace is open from July 23, when I left the UK, I can only give myself the reason for coming back next time if I am a little sorry. In addition, the performance of changing posts at Buckingham Palace is not written on the itinerary at 11:30, but at 11:05, it was already crowded when I arrived People sea, we must go at least half an hour early. Remember to go to the railing of Buckingham Palace and wait for the change of post. It's a long time, and it's almost done. Hurry back to the road opposite the gate and guard it. Wait for the guards and cavalry to march through at the end. If you want to go to the road after the change of post The police will stop you from going there, so you can't see it. First, the guards will go there, and many people will follow you. Don't be affected and wait. It will take a while for the cavalry to hear about it
House of Parliament and Big Ben
Palace of Westminster

Last night, he booked the 11 o'clock Congress tour, and finally got into Westminster Palace for the third time after being rejected twice. Even if Congress had been informed of my presence the night before, Congress would not relax. It took me two security checks to ignore the metal alarm to let me in. It must be that I entered the Congress with such an iron heart that the metal alarm could not help whining. (actually, there is a metal zipper on the jeans...) The 15 pound student ticket includes a voice guide. It's not easy to get in. It's also the origin of democracy in the world, so you should have a good tour. Westminster Palace and Westminster Temple share the same name, and there are similarities in content. In my opinion, both the two places are written by Royal writers and historians. If Westminster Abbey is a history of British figures, then Westminster Palace is a history of democracy. First into the spacious Westminster Hall, the oldest part, built in 1097 and survived the London fire. It has been used as a court trial for Guy Fawkes and William Wallace. The next St. Stephen's hall displays statues of famous British parliamentarians. One of them has lost his spurs, which was the legacy of feminists fighting for women's voting rights. On both sides of the glass window is the coat of arms of the major cities. Further ahead is central lobby, which is the house of Commons to the left and the house of Lords to the right. It is a very delicate place. There are mosaics representing England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland on the four directions of the door of this nearly diamond shaped hall. Unfortunately, it took more than 100 years before and after these paintings were completed. Ireland had been separated and independent when Ireland was created, so Ireland and Northern Ireland should be shown in the paintings. The corridor leading to the house of Lords, also known as the noble corridor, is flanked by paintings of the British civil war, while the corridor leading to the house of Lords is glorious revolution. Entering the house of Lords, all the decorations are gorgeous, and they are also the portraits of successive British monarchs. At the Royal Gallery, there are also two giant oil paintings showing the pride of the British people: one is the victory of Duke Wellington in the battle of Waterloo, the other is general Nelson who defeated the French Union fleet in the battle of Trafalgar, but died on his own duty. These two oil paintings were created at the peak of the British Empire. It is very appropriate to hang them on the side of the house of Lords to reflect the noble pride and yearning. From the Royal Gallery, you can go back to the chamber of the house of Lords and feel the pride. Even if decorated with gilded furniture, its luxury level is less than that of royal palace, but the large-scale red gold color matching, the throne of the king at the opening, the seat arrangement without losing the class meaning, symbolizes the exquisite family heraldry, and everything shows the incomparable noble temperament. The benches of the members are red, with loudspeakers hidden inside. At the same time, there are countless black strings hanging from the ceiling, hanging in the air about one person high above the ground. These are small microphones, so that every member's speech can be heard. Coming out of the house of Lords and back to the central hall, and passing through the simple corridor on the west side, members lobby stands the sculptures of several famous British prime ministers, the most famous ones being Churchill and Thatcher. The king is not allowed to enter the house of Commons, so when the opening ceremony of the parliament is held, someone will bring a black stick to the house of Commons to inform the opening of the parliament. At this time, the door of the chamber of Commons will be closed in his face. This is because the king was never allowed to enter the house of Commons after the civil war caused by the arrest of members of the house of Commons by Charles I. This series of ceremonies symbolized the independence of the house of Commons. So the door of the chamber of the house of Commons was left with the dent of the black stick hitting the door. In addition, the door arch of the house of Commons is broken and rough, which seems to be unfinished. This is because the house of Commons was destroyed by German bombing during World War II, which took decades to repair, and finally left a little unfinished place for remembering World War II. Stepping into the chamber of the house of Commons, the benches here are the opposite green of the upper house, and there are seats for citizens and media at the same time - they are free for the public during the debate of the parliament, and anyone can come to listen to the debate and ask questions to their members. At the same time, there are also memorials of World War II soldiers in the Council hall. The reason why I have recorded such a long and boring list of facts about parliament is that apart from the fact that there is no photo here, everything can only be recorded in my mind, what I want to show is that Westminster Palace has integrated the history of British democracy into every brick, every mural, every sculpture, every ceremony and every meeting. The Westminster Palace, built at the beginning of the feudal monarchy, gave birth to the world's oldest representative system. It spread to the world in wars and became more and more perfect in games and struggles. Hugo said that architecture is a history of stone. Westminster temple and Westminster Palace, separated by one street, are shining with each other. They are all about the British situation. One hundred years is fleeting, and the wood and stone are silent. Only legend flows. The success or failure is judged by later generations.
Westminster Abbey
威斯敏斯特修道院
9.1837 reviews
At the door, I hesitated to enter. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law said she must go to have a look! When I entered the church, I felt like I was in a British history. Unfortunately, we can't take photos inside. The so-called magnificence is unnecessary for Westminster Abbey to decorate words, as long as there are eyes, they will be shocked by its brilliance. There are countless kings and nobles, the most famous Elisabeth I, Mary of Scotland, Queen Victoria, etc.. There are many James 123 and Charles who almost have to fight. Listening to the tour guide is almost a review of British history. But the most exciting are the following names: Newton, Darwin, Chaucer, ELGA... And Oliver Lawrence, the great actor buried silently under the monument of Shakespeare, and the tomb of the unknown martyr on the central axis.
Trafalgar Square
特拉法加广场

Although it was cloudy when we went, it soon rained heavily. The rich historical atmosphere of the square is more distant and thick against the background of dark clouds. Every sculpture and building has a sense of history, atmosphere and harmony. The gray buildings are dotted with bright red buses and telephone booths, adding a bit of liveliness. It's like British humor, revealed in the implied title of the book in the window.

Hyde Park feels a bit like the Central Park in Manhattan, New York, but it's much smaller. Hyde Park is 1.5 miles long and 1 mile wide (it doesn't look big, but it's still very tired to walk, because you may have to stop because of the novelty around you), but it still can't stop it being loved by Londoners. When it comes to Hyde Park's natural landscape and all kinds of small animals, that's for sure. Otherwise, how can we call it a park.

Leicester Square is a subway station. You can walk nearby to the major scenic spots in the city center. I don't think it's overseas with the existence of this Chinese city. One of my favorite restaurants is Misato. It's a Japanese style simple meal. Fried pork chop is a must! The supermarket also sells a complete range of things. For overseas students, they don't need to bring any Chinese food when they come to China. They just come to China city to buy it.
