Albert Dock is an important attraction when you come to Liverpool, and it is a heritage building protected by British law. In 1846, Prince Albert praised the construction of the Dockyard at the inauguration of the Dockyard. This is one of the world's enclosed fire-resistant docks. It was once considered one of the most technologically advanced docks in the world. The port has made a great contribution. Architectural historian Berwick Nukins called Albert Dock a masterpiece of industrial architecture. However, due to the gradual decline of maritime trade, the dock has changed from prosperity to decline since the end of the 19th century, and gradually lost its original function. Due to the protection of the national industrial architectural heritage in the United Kingdom, it has been developed into a complex leisure tourist attraction integrating museums and restaurants. Here, you can go to the Merseyside Maritime Museum to explore Liverpool's maritime trade history, indulge in the artistic atmosphere of the Tate Liverpool, and even here, you and the Beatles will have a classic encounter. Travel back in time to that golden age with a trip to the Beatles Memorial. Or just take a nap on the riverside chair, there is sunshine and seabirds, it is very simple and beautiful.Liverpool · 23.8 km from Chester

🌸Cherry blossom season, great place to enjoy flowers🌸 The holiday is very lively, surrounded by tourists, but because the place is big enough, there will not be like Hong Kong as crowded to the water-filled phenomenon.
