&quot;The bagpipes came from afar, I only care about your news. The castle is a secret for love, and I am a memory for you.&quot; This is the location of Zhou Dong&#39;s &quot;Ming Ming&quot; MV, and the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s Harry Potter creation. If you dream of a medieval ancient city in a magical world, you must visit here in your life. Every building is a natural film background, and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world. Eventually, when the sunset in Carlton Hill confiscated time, Edinburgh, becoming an ever-fading amber, will remain in my memory.
