Arlington National Cemetery

It should be another famous attraction near Washington. I have seen in many American film and television works. I have seen the scene here. The Tomb of the Unknown Martyr just encountered a changing ceremony. There will be some tourists gathered. Although there are many people in the entire park, because the place is relatively large. The overall tour feels better

The Arlington Cemetery, as beautiful and tranquil as the park, is centered on the Arlington Hill, and the cemetery is distributed on the slopes and peaceful land, covering an area of 612 acres (about 2.48 square kilometers), surrounded by green grass and trees. By the 1990s, a total of 22.5 10,000 people had slept here, with an average of 18 people buried every week. Here, first of all, soldiers killed in the war, state workers who died in their jobs and made outstanding contributions to the country.

A large cemetery, very solemn, casually enter, from time to time you will see an old man sitting alone in front of a tombstone, just sitting like that. It is very close to the central area and within walking distance.

I have been wondering why this is one of the must-dos when in Arlington. It is a sacred place to honor and explore American history. It’s not just about checking out the notable graves (such as the JFK gravesite, and the tomb of the unknown soldier). To me it is a great place for a scenic, quiet walk while you look back what happened in the past and honor those who sacrificed their lives to protect their country and their peoples. Highly recommended to plan a visit if you are around the area.

Arlington Cemetery is located in Virginia, but it is very convenient to take the subway from DC. The cemetery was built during the Civil War and buried American soldiers who died in the American National War. Although it is a place to remember our ancestors, mid-April has been full of the breath of spring. Standing on a hill with Arlington Palace, you can see the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol Building.

Looking at other people's strategies, we can see the Pentagon on the high ground of Arlington Cemetery, so there are many visitors here. It's free to visit by oneself, and it's free to take a car with an explanation. It's 16 dollars for one person. It's a pity that we have not seen the Pentagon, but we have not seen the Kennedy family's tomb by accident. So far, the torch has been lit for it, and it's a good trip.
