    such a lovely place, the duomo or cathedral is very big that I cannot take a picture of the whole cathedral. Even if I have seen it several times I always love to visit and see it again and again.

    Booking tickets on Ctrip for two people was over a hundred yuan more than the official website, but the official website sold out the time slot we needed, while Ctrip was still able to book, which was quite good. Booking in advance and arriving on time to skip the line and scan the QR code to enter was very convenient. The original David was much larger than I expected and much more refined than the replica next to the Palazzo Vecchio. It's well worth a visit.

    The Uffizi Gallery is very classic, with a reasonable flow. The works of the masters are worth appreciating slowly. The Pitti Palace is worth seeing, and the interior is not hot. The Medici family is so powerful. The Boboli Gardens are just outside the Pitti Palace. I thought the Pitti Palace Gardens were far away from the Boboli Gardens, so I was still looking for the Boboli Gardens after walking around the Boboli Gardens. My family laughed to death. I accidentally went to the Castle Hill behind and encountered a heavy rain. It was quite pleasant to walk after the rain. I had the energy to continue to watch the sunset at the nearby Michelangelo Hill. We had seen it the day before and didn't go there

    Palazzo Vecchio (Italian for "Old Palace") is the town hall of Florence, Italy. Overlooking Piazza della Signoria, it is the historic centre of Florence and the main site of the origins and history of the Florentine Republic, still maintaining its reputation as the political focal point of the city.

    The moment I saw Michelangelo's "The Statue of David" was really shocked. The statue was tall but very delicate, with the muscle lines and expressions depicted extremely vividly, both powerful and quiet. Standing in front of the statue, you can clearly feel the tension of the momentum, as if he will move next second. No matter what perspective, it reveals amazing beauty and skills, which makes people stop for a long time. After seeing it, I really understood why it was hailed as the peak of the history of human sculpture.

    Santa Croce is also a typical church in Florence, with white as the base color and green facade as the painted color pattern. The square of this church should be the largest among all churches in the city, so it is very formal.

    The private villa of the Boboli family, a legendary Italian family, covers a huge area and is also a very nice garden landscape in the old town. Many people are maintaining it here and you can visit it from the outside.
