Glasgow, the afterglow of George Square, this is the largest city in Scotland.

When we arrived in Glasgow from Edinburgh, it was already 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, but the bright sun was still hanging in the sky, the sunshine was brilliant and clear. In June in the UK, dusk does not arrive until after 9pm, and night does not fall until after 10pm. The long daylight hours somewhat disrupted my biological clock, and at around 8pm, I began my Glasgow "dusk city walk" - starting from the hotel where I was staying, walking along a wide and undulating slope for about 20 minutes, I would reach George Square in the center of Glasgow. Although Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, the largest city in Scotland is Glasgow. It is said that half of Scotland's population lives here. This industrial city, which rose to prominence during the Industrial Revolution, was once world-famous for its shipbuilding and locomotive manufacturing. It is now the third largest manufacturing city in the UK after Birmingham and Leeds. George Square next to the Scottish Railway Station. It is a square square as big as a football field. Perhaps because it is a weekday, there are not many people in the square. A street performer is singing in ecstasy. An Indian guy who was delivering food on his bicycle parked his bike and sat on a bench in the square to play with his mobile phone... In the evening light, as the clouds flow over the roofs of the nearby Victorian-style buildings, time seems to slow down. The most eye-catching building on the square is the Glasgow City Hall, which was built in 1888. It is magnificent and elegant, with a typical Italian Renaissance style. In the middle is a tall, exquisite and gorgeous main building tower, and there are small towers at each corner. The decoration is exquisite and complicated, symbolizing the wealth and prosperity of Glasgow during the Industrial Revolution. No wonder the wealthy Glaswegians once called their city "the greatest Victorian city." There are many statues of celebrities in George Square, such as George III, Queen Victoria, Watt who improved the steam engine, etc. It can be called an open-air sculpture museum. As night slowly falls, the sky changes from brilliant sunset glow to deep blue. The bars and restaurants around the square gradually become lively. A seagull, keen on joining in the fun, picks up a sandwich from somewhere and starts pecking at it in the street... Retro yet modern, lively yet quiet, this is a night in Glasgow.
