The British Museum
Ttji***bjToday, I was fortunate to embark on a cultural journey across time and space under the guidance of teacher Diana, starting from the glorious civilization of ancient Egypt, as if I was riding a time machine and traveling through the history and art of all parts of the world.
Teacher Diana from Beijing is elegant and knowledgeable, as if the entire British Museum is her "home". She knows every exhibit well, just like taking a walk in her own back garden, and every detail is at her fingertips. Her explanation is easy to understand, rigorous and professional, and full of fun, which makes people sigh at her profound knowledge and expression ability.
At the beginning, I was still worried that the three-hour guided tour would be too long, but soon found that the worry was completely unnecessary. Every minute was full of surprises and gains, time passed quickly, and in the end I felt that I was still not satisfied! If there is a chance, I will definitely sign up for a ten-hour or even longer in-depth tour without hesitation.
What impressed me more was the strong "Beijing gene" in teacher Diana. Her hearty atmosphere and humor made the whole explanation process both friendly and vivid, completely breaking the stereotype of traditional museum tours. When I listened to her explanation, I often couldn't help but smile while concentrating on the exhibits. It felt like listening to Song Dandan's jokes - interesting but thought-provoking.
As a museum lover, I always believe that an excellent guide can make a museum shine with a new charm. And Teacher Diana is the kind of person who can make a museum "alive".

Tower Bridge
Zzinnia_615The Tower Bridge was built between 1886 and 1894. It is a bridge composed of two bridges on the Thames River in London. It is close to the Tower of London and is named after it.
The Tower Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world and the most famous movable bridge. It can be opened and closed when large ships pass through it.
The two main towers are built with white marble roofs and five small spires, which look like two crowns from a distance.
King’s Cross
陌陌染MMKing's Cross Railway Station is a large railway terminal opened in 1852. It is located in the King's Cross area of central London, on the border between Camden and Islington, on the Camden side. It is connected by A501, Euston Road and York Road. King's Cross Station is the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line, a main railway line in the UK. Its west side is close to St. Pancras Station, the terminal station of the Eurostar international train. The two stations use King's Cross St. Pancras Station of the London Underground as a common connecting subway station. To the west of King's Cross Station, St. Pancras Station, the New British Library and Euston Station are next, and these buildings are only a few minutes' walk away.
King's Cross Station has many lines to the east and north of England and Scotland, connecting many large cities such as Cambridge, Peterborough, Kingston upon Hull, Doncaster, Leeds, York, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness.
Buckingham Palace
KKtyI went there in the weekday afternoon. There were not so many people, so I can take some nice photos in front of the gate (palace).
Big Ben
Zzinnia_615SThe heart of London, Big Ben’s love
°In the bustling city center of London, England, there is a world-famous building—Big Ben! Located on the banks of the Thames, it is the bell tower attached to the Palace of Westminster, the United Kingdom's parliament building, and a symbol of British culture and history.
This 95-meter-high Gothic clock tower has become a representative of London and even the entire UK with its unique design and precise time.
The bell of Big Ben is melodious and solemn. Every time on the hour, the deep bell will ring through the sky, seeming to tell the long history and stories of London.
Approaching Big Ben, you will be attracted by its classical architectural style. The Gothic spiers and exquisite carvings all demonstrate the exquisite skills of British craftsmen. The huge clock on the clock face has become the guardian of time in people's hearts because of its precise timekeeping and huge size.
Chinatown
Zzinnia_615At the entrance of Chinatown, there was a young lady wearing Hanfu playing the guzheng. It was a familiar oriental feeling, and I was a little moved. Many native people who spoke Latin were taking pictures. The West still knows too little about China.
When it comes to food, the eight major Chinese cuisines, well, the Chinese with farming culture are more particular about food. A Bite of China can make the British dumbfounded.
But Chinatown is really only as big as a morning market at home in China.
I met Heytea, which I haven't seen for a long time. A super large cup costs 5.5 pounds. It's easy to make money from the British. The background of Hangzhou Longjing Village in the background is touching and familiar. I still love the implicit and restrained oriental feelings. Of course, Chinese students generally don't like to speak in class, and don't interrupt the teacher casually. Of course, they still have to adapt to local customs. Western education is good in this regard, encouraging more active and positive, and more encouraging networking and socializing.
Westminster Abbey
Zzinnia_615Westminster Abbey, officially known as "St. Peter's United Church", is known as the "spire of honor". It is located in the southwest of Parliament Square in London, England. It was ordered to be built by the religious King Edward I in 1050 and completed in 1065. The existing church was rebuilt by Henry III in 1245, and was expanded in successive dynasties until it was completed in the late 15th century. It is the highest-ranking church in the UK. The church is considered a masterpiece of British Gothic architecture.
