In early March 2018, we visited the UK for the first time to attend an exhibition in Birmingham. As soon as we left the airport, we were greeted by a cold and snowy day [shocked]

Samuel Johnson famously said: "If you are tired of London, you are tired of life. Because everything life can give you, London has it." After checking into the hotel, I was looking forward to tomorrow's trip - a different London.

In the morning, the weather cleared up, and people running could be seen everywhere on the streets. The ancient buildings on the streets were beautiful to take pictures of. When it comes to London, one of the most famous landmark buildings is the Tower Bridge. Although I did not see the opening of the Tower Bridge, it is still very spectacular. Against the backdrop of the blue water of the Thames River, it is majestic and majestic. things.

Another London icon, Big Ben, is surrounded by scaffolding. It is said that it will take four years to repair! Friends in the same industry said that it takes four years to repair it. It is very British [cute]

Gothic architecture is still very distinctive. After the erosion of time, although it has been mottled, it still retains its exquisiteness. Dignified and elegant.

Buckingham Palace is an essential check-in point for first time visitors to London. It is the royal palace where the Queen of England works and lives in London and is still in use. I was waiting to see the ancient and ceremonial handover of the Royal Army. The soldiers were very solemn and solemn, but in my heart I still felt that the movements of our honor guards in Tiananmen Square were more orderly and neat.

There is a monument to Queen Victoria in front of Buckingham Palace. On the top is the goddess of victory with shining golden wings spread out, which is exquisite. There is also a circle of statues around it (the statues that the British colonial powers paid tribute to the Queen), and the fountain in the middle should be the spread of Roman culture. The glory of the "empire on which the sun never sets" is revealed both overtly and covertly.

Near Buckingham Palace is Britain's largest royal park - Hyde Park. Due to the time of visit and the weather, the trees in Hyde Park were bare and there were sticky [black lines] on the ground. I look forward to coming back to Hyde Park in other seasons.

There are always many surprises to be found along the Thames. The Scottish uncle is dressed in a classic dress (British plaid skirt, but for men, it is kilt, not skirt [sleepy]), puffing out his cheeks, and playing Scotland The unique bagpipe has a melodious sound! I didn’t go to Scotland, but I still felt the Scottish style deeply.

The Ferris wheel in the background of the Scottish uncle is the "London Eye", built in 2000 to celebrate the millennium. It looks like a big toy set up along the river. It looks ordinary during the day, but at night it is very dreamy when it is lit up. In the evening, we used a taxi app to take a taxi and went to the Thames River to see the London Eye.

As a world metropolis, London has complete supporting facilities and many museums, which are free for all citizens. We went to the famous British Museum (The British Museum), which is the oldest and most magnificent large-scale museum and one of the four most famous museums in the world. The tour guide specially introduced to us the row of statues above the main entrance of the British Museum, which describes the development of human beings from ignorance to civilization. After browsing the collections displayed inside, I was really shocked. They are indeed a condensed version of human civilization. The collections, especially the cultural relics plundered from China in the Oriental Museum, make us feel a little bit sad in our hearts. Such exquisite national treasures have been lost abroad [crying] The British Museum is the history book of the world!

There are Chinese people in every foreign metropolis. London also has a bustling Chinatown, where you can eat quite authentic Chinese food.

I accidentally discovered a large M&M store on the street, with several floors filled with all kinds of colorful chocolate beans.

On the cold streets of London, various bars are still bustling with activity. British people are probably the most drinkers in the world. The bars on Friday night are so crowded that it’s hard to squeeze in. What doesn’t match the prosperity are the many drunk homeless people and refugees on the streets. No matter where you are, the rich are rich to varying degrees, and the poor are equally poor.

My first impression of London is that it has a profound history and is fashionable and simple. It has ancient civilization and is full of vitality like runners everywhere.

I hope that the epidemic will pass soon and I will have the opportunity to come to London again, sit down and savor...
