Night view

麦振声Westminster Abbey is a must-see in London. It's where British monarchs have been crowned and buried, and many figures who made significant contributions to Britain, such as Newton, Darwin, and Hawking, are also buried here. This profound sense of history can only be truly felt by visiting in person.

201***62Very comfortable, perfect for a leisurely stroll. December isn't too cold either. The Princess of Wales Conservatory is beautiful, and the winter lights at night are also lovely. The restaurants in the Botanic Gardens are reasonably priced, and the pub near Elizabeth Gate has a great atmosphere.

D27***80This is a well-deserved attraction, ideally allowing at least two hours. It's grand yet unassuming, and historical yet not outdated. Each step is incredibly difficult to take, and the scenery is breathtaking. You won't want to stop until you've seen enough. Photography is not permitted.

一个被纠结的坎Revisiting the Natural History Museum in London The Natural History Museum in London, formerly the Natural History Department of the British Museum, officially became independent in 1963. Climbing the magnificent spiral staircase, the mineral exhibition area on the right side of the second floor resembles a subterranean palace. Among the over 5,000 mineral specimens, the most stunning is the 3-meter-high amethyst wall—a perfectly cut amethyst cave from Brazil, shimmering with a dreamy purple glow under the light. Here, nature is the greatest artist: 1️⃣ The legendary Hope Blue Diamond (replica), this 45.52-carat blue diamond carries a cursed legend. 2️⃣ The 563-carat "Princess of Brazil" topaz, like a beam of frozen sunlight. 3️⃣ The pigeon's blood rubies from Burma, each one a frozen flame. Most magical are the fluorescent mineral displays: the stones, gray under ordinary light, suddenly burst into neon colors under ultraviolet light! The meteorite exhibition hall houses the world's most complete collection of meteorite specimens. The most precious of these is the 4.5-ton Bakubiri meteorite, discovered in Namibia, Africa in 1902. Local tribes used it to forge spearheads. Touching these rocks from outer space allows you to feel the mysterious pulse of the universe. -Don't forget to look up at the ceiling during your visit; the intricately carved botanical patterns are also part of the exhibits. - Free guided tours are often offered on weekend afternoons; check the official website for specific times. - From crystal palaces deep within the Earth to stardust gifts from the vast universe, this museum offers a glimpse into nature's most extravagant treasures. Here, every stone tells the story of Earth's 4.6 billion years.

󱔒Themed exhibition halls

136***45I had visited the National Art Museum of China three times before, but each time I only skimmed through the exhibits, gaining a fragmented and superficial understanding of the works. Today, I specifically followed Professor Gao Yan for a systematic study session, which truly allowed me to enter the world of Western painting art. Compared to the fragmented knowledge I gained from previous exhibition visits, Professor Gao Yan's rich and profound knowledge significantly enhanced my understanding of the history of Western painting art. From changes in the historical context to the evolution of painting themes and techniques, the professor explained everything clearly, vividly, and thoroughly, enabling me to understand the story and craftsmanship behind each painting. This exhibition experience was truly worthwhile! Sincere thanks 🙏
