老肖瞧瞧

I have to say that the Penn Museum is also a No. 1 museum. The exhibits are rich, unique, and academic. In particular, the Chinese national treasures in the Asian Pavilion are moving... The consulting service is also very satisfactory. The Egyptian Pavilion is under renovation, but some of the cultural relics have been merged into other pavilions. The national treasures of Mesopotamia in the Middle East and the Mayan Aztec civilization in New America are astonishing. There are really piles of ancient Greek and Roman cultural relics. The underground special exhibition even has an introduction to the U2 aircraft incident in 1960... In short, the Penn Museum is worth the trip!

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. This monument near the Freedom Bell is unified and managed by National Park. Opposite the Freedom Bell is a large visitor center. Here you can consult the travel guide for Philadelphia. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic. Help to give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, you can buy refrigerator stickers, books, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs. There is also an exhibition in the visitor center. Although it will be more mini-pocket than the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is also a parking lot on the ground floor of the independent palace visitor center for everyone to park. Although parking in downtown Philadelphia is not very convenient, parking spaces are not very easy to find. I recommend everyone to come to the underground parking lot of the visitor center to park. If you come in peak season, you need to come to the visitor center to apply for the ticket for the visit of the Independence Palace first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it&rsquo;s because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to get a ticket when you come. You can enter the visit directly.

Independence Hall

WB2021

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

Liberty Bell

Needless to say, the reputation of the Freedom Bell naturally feels like the Independence Palace can become a must-check place for Philadelphia attractions, as if every time you come to Philadelphia, you will also check in ritually. The two are also very close. Walking across the road is that the exhibition hall is open to the public for free. There is no need to buy tickets. The Independence Palace needs to book on the official website in advance. The ticket reservation fee of 1 yuan. The Free Bell has a separate exhibition hall, and the entrance needs to be checked. You can visit up close, you can walk to the free clock, you can surround 360 degrees before, but this time only opened 180 degrees, the other half stopped, but this advantage is that you can unlock a background free clock. The Liberty Bell was originally a palace in the Independence Palace, but was later displayed in the memorial on the lawn due to the cracking of the bell body. This time, the display stage at the visitor center was empty to another point of knowledge. When it arrived in Philadelphia in 1752, it first appeared a crack, and after several repairs there were cracks, so it was abandoned. And it was the clock that struck on July 4, 1776. The free clock has also experienced several migrations. Although the location of each relocation is not far away, people are still worried that there will be more serious cracks. They have also installed a microvariable displacement sensor that can test the movement of one millionth of a meter to test whether it is suitable for relocation. Every tour seems to unlock different little knowledge points, which is probably a great pleasure to travel.
