Wujiaochang is located in Yangpu District, Shanghai. Its full name is "Jiangwan-Wujiaochang". It is one of the four sub-centers of Shanghai. Its southern part is one of the ten major commercial centers in Shanghai. It is named after the intersection of five divergent avenues, Handan Road, Siping Road, Huangxing Road, Xiangyin Road, and Songhu Road, in the northeast corner of Shanghai. Wujiaochang was originally planned in the "Greater Shanghai Plan" implemented by the Nanjing government during the Republic of China to break the monopoly of the Shanghai Concession in the city center. It is now divided into three major blocks, namely the southern commercial center, the central knowledge innovation center, and the northern business center.
I didn't do a careful guide when I came here. The Pentagon can be visited. There is a visitor center that needs to be booked 2 weeks in advance. It's a pity that I was not allowed to enter at the last minute. The guard was a standard American soldier, tall, handsome and friendly. He repeatedly explained that you need to make a reservation on the computer in advance. There is a big police dog next to you that will follow you. It was very dazzling and made people dizzy. I followed the pedestrians and walked forward unknowingly to the office area. I met a black official who politely said that you can't take pictures here and you can visit the visitor center. When I left Washington, I saw the full view of the Pentagon on the plane. I was very moved. It is really pentagonal.

absolutely beautiful tribute to the brave soldiers who fought in WWII from each state, make sure you stop by.
The U.S. Air Force Memorial, located near the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery, has a very unique shape.
From a distance, it looks like three swords rising from the ground and piercing the sky.
Looking closely, it is the upward flight trajectory of three planes of the U.S. Air Force "Thunderbirds" aerobatic team, which cleverly shows the strength of the Air Force~

It should be another famous attraction near Washington. It has been seen in many American movies and TV shows. I happened to encounter the changing of the guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There were some tourists gathering. Although there were many people in the whole park, the overall tour was still good because the place was large.
Arlington National Cemetery is as beautiful and peaceful as a park. With Arlington Hill as its center, the cemetery is spread over slopes and flat lands, covering a total area of 612 acres (about 2.48 square kilometers), with green grass everywhere and trees all around. By the 1990s, a total of 225,000 people were buried here, with an average of 18 people buried each week. Those buried here are first of all soldiers who died in wars, politicians, state workers who died at work, and those who made outstanding contributions to the country.
