Photos of Tidal Basin

Thousands of cherry trees are planted around the Tidal Lake, and they bloom in April every year. They are colorful and splendid. Against the backdrop of the Jefferson Memorial, they add a grander beauty than Japan's cherry blossoms. To the north is the National Mall, and you can see the Washington Monument standing tall and straight in the distance, and to the west are the Martin Luther King Jr. Monument and the Roosevelt Memorial Garden, surrounded by halls, with a unique view. 1. Jefferson Memorial The Jefferson Memorial is located on the tidal lake in Washington. It was built in memory of Thomas Jefferson and designed in accordance with the ancient Roman temple-style dome architectural style that Jefferson loved. The whole body is white, sacred and solemn. 2. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is the fourth individual monument in American history and is located northwest of Tidal Lake. Martin Luther King Jr. is world famous for his "I Have a Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. 3. Roosevelt Memorial Park The Roosevelt Memorial Park is located on the west bank of Tidal Lake and was built to commemorate Roosevelt. This garden is different from ordinary memorial halls, with scattered stone walls as the main body, telling the major historical events in the United States during Roosevelt's tenure. 4. The beautiful lake with cherry blossoms You can take a panoramic view of the Jefferson Memorial Hall by the Tidal Lake, or you can sit on the steps of the Memorial Hall to enjoy the Tidal Lake and overlook the Washington Monument on the other side of the lake. At that time, the cherry blossoms by the tidal lake were in full bloom, and the reflection of the white memorial hall in the lake was very beautiful. You can also go boating in the lake, the breeze floats and the fallen flowers are colorful, which is intoxicating.
