I&#39;m a history buff and the national ww2 museum was a long awaited trip. It was an easy 20 mins walk from the French quarter. We ended up spending well past 5 hours here. There is just so much information to read and all very interesting. It&#39;s a well done exhibit and strongly recommended for those with an interest in history and world war 2 era.

Jackson Square

Historic buildings

小思文

Jackson Square is also a rather distinctive building. The area around here is not very prosperous. There are fewer people at night, and there are not many tour groups. There is a statue erected in the center of the square, but the specific history of the person is not very clear.

The French Quarter in New Orleans is also a large area. There are many things to visit here. There are also some very interesting small designs in the French Quarter, with things of different specifications designed according to the layout here. I really like the appearance here.
