Brasilia: the shining pearl on the Goiás Plateau

Brasilia, located on the Goiás Plateau in central Brazil, is gently embraced by the State of Goiás. It is like a shining pearl at the confluence of the Marañón River and the Verde River, embedded in the triangle area. This city not only carries the history and culture of Brazil, but also attracts tourists from all over the world with its unique architectural style and natural scenery. A magnificent chapter of historic architecture • The Three Powers Square, one of Brazil’s iconic buildings, stands on the city’s central axis, surrounded by many political buildings such as the House of Representatives, the Senate, the National Court and the Presidential Palace. The flag-raising ceremony held every two weeks attracts the attention of countless tourists, who come to witness this solemn moment together. • The National Congress Building, Brasilia’s most iconic architectural masterpiece, was designed by the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer. Its unique circular and square structures are intertwined, and the hemisphere on the top contrasts sharply with the rectangle below, presenting an extraordinary visual effect that is breathtaking. • The Presidential Palace, a simple yet futuristic building that embodies Brasilia’s unique architectural concept with its sleek lines, natural elements and modern materials, serves as the distinguished official residence of the head of state. A sacred journey of religious culture • The Brasilia Cathedral, also designed by Niemeyer, uses 16 white concrete columns to symbolize Jesus' 12 disciples and the four evangelists. Under the umbrella-shaped ceiling, the light from the stained glass windows creates a dreamy atmosphere that makes people intoxicated. • The Blue Church, also known as the Cathedral of Santo Bosco, has become an important religious site and tourist attraction in Brasilia with its unique blue exterior and exquisite interior decoration, exuding a strong religious and artistic atmosphere. The serene beauty of natural landscapes • Brasilia National Park, a pristine natural oasis in the heart of the city, with crystal clear natural pools and lush vegetation, is a great choice to get away from the hustle and bustle and get close to nature. • Lake Paranoa, a large artificial lake, with its winding shoreline and beautiful surrounding scenery, is an ideal place for a leisurely stroll and to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains. In addition, tourists can also enjoy water activities such as boating and windsurfing. Great view of the city • The Brasilia TV Tower was built in 1967 with an initial height of 218 meters. It was later raised to 224 meters in 1987, becoming the tallest building in Brasilia and the fourth tallest iron tower in the world. Visitors can take the elevator to the 75-meter-high observation deck for free and overlook the magnificent view of the entire Brasilia. • The JK Memorial, built in memory of former Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek, houses a large collection of historical relics, pictures and materials related to President Kubitschek. The buildings and gardens outside the museum are equally unique, making it the perfect place to learn about Brazilian history and culture. Brasilia, a beautiful city that combines history, culture, nature and modernity, is waiting for your exploration and discovery.
