Anonymous user:“This museum, founded and operated by the University of Pennsylvania, requires a ticket. Since it's not very popular, the ticket revenue likely only partially covers operating costs. It's easily accessible by subway or bus, with the subway about a ten-minute walk away. There's a small garden with a fountain at the entrance. Walk past the garden and into the museum lobby, where the front desk staff scans your ticket before you enter. The Egyptian section on the left is undergoing renovations, and some Egyptian artifacts have been moved to the second floor. The right-hand hall on the first floor begins with the Sumerian civilization of the Mesopotamian region, detailing various artifacts and kingdoms. The domed center hall on the second floor displays artifacts from Asia, particularly China, including two reliefs of the Six Horses from the Zhaoling Mausoleum in Xianyang. Seeing artifacts from my hometown from such a distance is truly moving. The left-hand hall on the second floor features ancient Greek and Roman artifacts. The collection is extensive and densely displayed. The museum itself is small, but its detailed presentation of various ancient civilizations is well worth a visit.”

I bought a ticket for the 9:15 a.m. ferry, but because I was only in the wrong location, I didn't arrive at the ferry terminal until 9:30 a.m. Fortunately, the ferry ticket takes time into account. Liberty Island had been closed for many years and had just reopened. The museum had been moved from under the station to a standalone museum. The movie was a 10-minute film with three parts, and you had to change theaters for each part, so you could just walk through it. To see the interior of the Statue of Liberty, you had to make a reservation three months in advance, and the ticket price was the same. On the return trip, you could also take a tour of Ellis Island and see the century-old US Immigration Office.”
Open 09:00–01:00 (the next day) (admission ends at 00:15)

Bjfig:“I recently was on a trip to Six Flags through Trip.com, and it was an amazing experience! The booking process was seamless, and I got a great deal on tickets. The park itself was fantastic, with thrilling rides like the Superman coaster and the classic carousel. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the day even more enjoyable. The food options were diverse and delicious, though a bit pricey. Overall, it was a day filled with fun and excitement, and I highly recommend using Trip.com!”

Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia's travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs.
There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don’t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don’t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.”

It seems that every time I come to Philadelphia, I will repeat the ritual of checking in. The two are very close, just walk across the road. The exhibition hall is open to the public for free, and there is no need to buy tickets. The Independence Palace needs to be booked in advance on the official website, with a ticket booking fee of 1 yuan. The Liberty Bell has an independent exhibition hall for visiting, and the entrance requires security check. You can visit it up close and walk to the Liberty Bell. It was previously possible to circle 360 degrees, but this time it was only open 180 degrees, and the other half was blocked, but the advantage is that you can unlock a Liberty Bell with no one in the background.
The Liberty Bell was originally in the palace of the Independence Palace, and then it was displayed in the memorial hall on the lawn because the bell body cracked. This time, the display stand at the visitor center was also empty. Another knowledge point was that cracks first appeared when it was transported to Philadelphia in 1752, and then after several repairs, there were still cracks, so they gave up repairing it. And it was this bell that rang on July 4, 1776. The Liberty Bell has also been relocated several times. Although the locations of each relocation were not far away, people were still worried that there would be more serious cracks. They also installed a micro-variable displacement sensor on the bell that can test the movement of one millionth of a meter to test whether it is suitable for relocation. Every visit seems to unlock different little knowledge points, which is probably one of the pleasures of traveling.”
Open tomorrow at 10:30-17:30 (admission ends at 17:15)

jam***26:“Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children's playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn't get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it's no problem to play in the park for a whole day!”
