泰迪小熊Came here on September 22, 2017. I heard that the White House has not been open to the public since 9/11. When we went there, we could only watch it from a distance outside the fence, so the White House became a boring landmark. We took a tourist check-in photo to end our visit. There is a big pine tree on the south side of the White House. I didn’t expect it to be a "landmark" as well, the "National Christmas Tree"... Well, it seems that we should choose to visit during Christmas.

泰迪小熊Came here on September 21, 2017. As the saying goes, "It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books." Only after visiting the U.S. Capitol in person and taking the time to learn about the relevant knowledge can you have a more correct understanding of many details. The reason why the U.S. Capitol is called "Capitol Hill" is because its name Capitol comes from Capitolium, one of the seven hills in Rome. This is the highest of the seven hills and an important political and religious center at the beginning of the founding of Rome. It has the same root as the capital (capital), and is used to name the country's political center, which has a very good meaning. The Capitol is a neoclassical building with a beautiful and grand style. It is centered on the rotunda, with the Senate in the north wing and the House of Representatives in the south wing. The public can visit for free and even listen to the proceedings of the two houses, but they need to apply in advance and the number of places is limited. Due to time constraints, we just walked around outside and took photos and checked in, but it was not a loss. After all, the building itself is very beautiful, and it is very photogenic from all angles. There are so many places worth seeing in Washington, saving time.

泰迪小熊Came here on September 21, 2017. Between Capitol Hill and the Washington Monument, there is a long and narrow green space, which is the National Mall of the United States. There are many national museums and memorials around the square. Each venue is very interesting and you can spend half a day visiting a single place. If you don't have enough time, it's also good to take pictures. These buildings have different shapes, and taking pictures and checking in are very photogenic.

Monuments
泰迪小熊I came here on September 21, 2017. The Washington Monument is located in the center of the capital of the United States. It is about 169 meters high and is shaped like an ancient Egyptian obelisk. It is tall, eye-catching, beautiful and generous. It is a very outstanding landmark. There is a large lawn around the monument, where you can sit casually. During the epidemic, tens of thousands of Americans died of the disease. At that time, everyone planted a small white flag for each deceased person to express condolences, which was also on this lawn. It can be seen how big this lawn is. Because the monument is very tall, you need to walk far away from the monument to take a check-in photo. You can sit and take photos on the edge of the high platform where the monument is located. It would be better to take photos at dusk. Sitting on the west side of the monument, facing the sunset, the sunlight is softer and the colors will be better.

Monuments
泰迪小熊Came here on September 22, 2017. The Lincoln Memorial is located at the west end of the central axis of Washington, facing the Capitol Hill at the east end. The midpoint between the two is the Washington Monument, which shows how high President Lincoln's status is in the United States. The Lincoln Memorial is a typical Greek-style building. It is said to commemorate his contribution to American democracy by liberating black slaves. The origin of Western democracy is Greece, and this style similar to the ancient Greek temple can also reflect Lincoln's greatness. There is no other attraction in the memorial hall, just take photos and check in. There is a small souvenir shop in the memorial hall, which is quite good to buy. You can go shopping.

陌染MMThe National Gallery of Art is located in Washington, D.C. and is managed by the Smithsonian Institution. The building itself is divided into two buildings, east and west, which can be connected by underground passages or across the street on the ground. It also includes a sculpture park. The museum is free to visit and is closed on Sundays. I originally went there for Leonardo da Vinci's original works, but when I arrived, I found that the exhibition part of Leonardo da Vinci's original works was not open, which was a pity. There are more than 40,000 products in the entire exhibition hall, from the European Middle Ages to the modern era, including oil paintings, sculptures, prints, sketches, etc. There are exhibits. It takes about 1 hour to visit here. There is a coffee shop inside. You can take a map to see the specific location.

Grace_cytThe Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History is free to visit. It is the filming location of Night at the Museum. Once you see the African elephant specimens on the first floor, you will be drawn into the movie. This museum is very rich in content. It has 5 floors in total. The top 2 floors are staff offices, and the bottom 3 floors are exhibition halls that can be visited. We took a quick tour and it took us two and a half hours.

陌染MMThe Library of Congress was built in 1800. It is the largest library in the world and one of the most important libraries in the world. It is operated with the support of the U.S. Congress. It houses 75 million works and nearly 100 million collections of various types. The library is divided into several exhibition areas. The original idea was to have a circular library. You can see the panoramic view from the second floor, or you can queue up to go in and take a closer look at the environment. Some areas are blocked and tourists cannot enter, while some areas are open. If you need to, you can read there. The library is free and no reservation is required. There is also a cafe inside, so you can stay in it for a day without coming out.
