(2) The Huntington, as is well known in the English-speaking world, Huntington Library. The library advocates the spirit of research, education and aesthetics. It is a world-renowned Center for culture, research and education. Huntington Library, full name Huntington Library · Art Gallery · Botanical Gardens, is located in San Marino, a metropolitan area of Los Angeles, Southern California, with about 500,000 visitors per year. In addition to its own collection of books and educational research functions, such as British and American history and literature books, the library has the most complete information on American history research; it also collects works of art, such as oil paintings, furniture, sculptures, silverware, etc. in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Britain and France; the more unique is that it has a large amount of land, covering 120 acres, so it also has botanical gardens, such as Chinese Gardens "Liufang Garden and others. Theme garden. The library was founded in 1919 by Henry Edward Huntington, the American Railway King, who was formerly Huntington's private garden and later donated by Henry's descendants to the government. Henry was born in Oneont, New York, in 1850. In 1872, Henry moved to San Francisco as his uncle Collis Huntington, one of the shareholders of the Central Pacific Railway.

    Really good, it is worth a whole day of slow shopping. The Lily pond next to the desert park is so beautiful, many art students are sketching. The indoor botanical garden is also very good, teaching and fun. Unfortunately, the roses in the rose garden are not open.

    In San Marino, there is a famous manor which combines library, art gallery and botanical garden. That is the Huntington Library. It is called the most unforgettable Garden Library in the world. It is a masterpiece of human and nature, and also a favorite place for Los Angeles people. It's a collection built by Huntington, an American billionaire, at the beginning of the last century, with all his wealth, and people who have been there will feel like they've made a good trip from the bottom of their hearts.

    Huntington Library, Getty Art Center, the world-class paintings, the great manuscripts that have changed the course of human beings, and the beautiful buildings are all stunning and indescribable. In the afternoon, I went to the Huntington Library in the suburbs. There are so many private libraries and so many authentic and valuable materials in the world. The Huntington Library outside Los Angeles has raised our horizon. On the surface, this is a library. More than 1,700 university professors in the United States ask for information every year. In fact, it is a private manor that integrates library, art gallery and botanical garden. Huntington Library's collection of rare books and manuscripts is among the best in British and American history and literature. For scholars, Huntington is one of the largest and most complete research libraries in the United States. This destination hasn't appeared on any group tour products, and few free travelers have come. We hardly see a few Asian faces on this trip, but feel that this "library" is too worthy of recommendation. Interested friends suggest not to abandon the large electric light evolutionary history park. There are botanical gardens, desert gardens and so on. The sculptures in the park are very beautiful, Tuhao's. I don't understand the world. The cultural local tyrants are even more elusive. I can only open my mouth and continue to be surprised. The magnificent library is exquisite, exquisite and elaborate. How can antique books be carefully repaired? It's a craftsman. The light and shadow effect of this painting makes me feel that the top graphics cards are weak and explosive now. I want to kneel when I look at this painting from a distance of one meter. The projection of the twelve constellations is very beautiful. The Huntingtons are also the collectors of classical furniture. The botanical hall in the park covers a large area, as well as all kinds of flowers in the greenhouse. Chinese gardens, quite a few of the charm of Suzhou gardens, no doubt in the park and ate a Chinese meal.

    (iii) The Huntington Library can set off a huge wave in its mind, that is, it can completely overthrow the inherent model of the library in the impression. Given the large area, the beauty of the garden, the beauty of the building, the essence of the repair, the abundance of the treasure, and have been donated to the government, if it is named San Marino City, Los Angeles County (County) Park... or bid for a certain expo, it is not unfounded. However, Los Angeles is Los Angeles, a metropolis that advocates individual values and freedom, a place that encourages both independent specialties and outstandingness, while simultaneously pioneering, integrating, inclusive and collaborative. For so many years, the library named after the founder Henry Huntington (1850-1927) (full name "Henry • Edward • Huntington Library, Art Gallery and Botanical Garden", referred to as "Huntington Library"), has indeed withstand the wind and rain and the aesthetic scrutiny of groups and many individuals. Group play, can be individual, can also be individual. The concept of the individual can be extended to a unique unit corresponding to the group and forming the group. The mind has experienced the ebb and flow of the tide; feathers, shells, five stars... mostly gravel. Before new waves come and change, our mindset is in a regular manner, like the traces left by the previous wave on the beach, fragmented, gradually dry but stubbornly unchanged. In fact, the change is temporary, but the change is eternal. The most reluctant to change, often the most vulnerable. In 1912, the library's Japanese garden was completed, including the moon bridge, koi pond, Japanese-style houses, and bonsai collection. On February 23, 2008, the library's "Liufang Garden" officially opened, the largest Chinese garden in North America. This is the story that continues. However, the library's six million collections of rare books and manuscripts are mainly British and American literature and historical works. The library's art gallery is based on the European art collection. The library displays numerous outdoor sculptures. This is history, the founding, builders, ancestors and their descendants of modern North America, pioneering and inheriting history. Sculpture, outdoor sculpture, and other outdoor art, is truly experienced by time and wind and rain. The Huntington Library's three-dimensional, standing in the wind or spring. So, after the monument, the romantic sculptures, the water soaked the road, the love walked over, not tired, just a little trace,

    Huntington Park is characterized by the style and characteristics of many countries in Paul. Museums of modern and contemporary art are also worth visiting. Especially like the rose garden, how can you choose to drink an afternoon tea in it? When visiting Chinese gardens in the United States, I can't help sighing that such a poetic restoration is inexplicably cordial. Japanese gardens are also very unique. African gardens and Australian gardens can be strolled slowly.

    A scenic spot whose name is too long and too long is a garden-style museum, which integrates collection of books, gardening and art. Never seen such a museum. It is like half of the fairy tale world. The scenery is so wonderful. There are Chinese gardens, so we should come to this point.
