Historical background: Pompeii is a world cultural and natural heritage. It is located near Naples in southern Italy. It existed in the 6th century BC and was terminated in 79 AD due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
The huge Colosseum, Grand Theatre, shops, murals, entertainment venues and spa bathrooms are well preserved, showing the bustling history of the time. It is a paradise for the rich in the Mediterranean. It is the capital of wine, and it is said that God can't stand the arrogance and extravagance, so that the volcanic eruption covers the city. Also because of this volcano, the city was preserved intact, bringing a natural history museum to future generations. Currently only 1/3 is open, and the rest is buried underground.
Play highlights: 1. The Grand Theatre: It is earlier than the history of the Colosseum. 2. The fossils of the Antiquities Museum: When the volcano erupted, the human body instantly solidified, preserving the state at the last moment before the disaster. In fact, the corpse could not be preserved, but the empty shell of the human body was copied.
How to get there: Travel to Pompeii is usually in Napoli

The main reason for coming to Naples was to come to Pompeii. The dream of junior high school finally came true: the train from Naples was very unreliable. On the platform, everyone was asking, not sure that the train was going to Pompeii. Fortunately, follow the crowd and get into the right car. Don’t be crowded. Beware of thieves. It’s very tiring. When you arrive at the scenic area, you can use your Pass card to exchange your tickets immediately. You can ask for a tour guide at the door. They are available in various languages and Chinese. The service, thanks to the fact that I did a lot of homework before, I went around by myself, and finally found out that it is better to ask a tour guide. After all, people can walk backwards inside; it was cloudy when I first entered, very comfortable, noon It started to rain heavily. It was really heavy rain. Fortunately, I brought an umbrella. The inside was really big. After watching the flowers for a long time, my leg was broken and I was still holding an umbrella. The calorie consumption was exhausted. It is worth coming, there are many people on rainy days, and some famous villas have to line up to enter!
