From Durham, we took a bus north to Newcastle. Compared with Durham Village, Newcastle is a big city. At Durham Railway Station, I also saw several students going to Newcastle for dinner. The train arrived in about ten minutes. Here I actually saw the city wall, Hadrian's Wall. In fact, this is the northernmost border of the British province of the Roman Empire. It is similar to the city wall in China, both of which are used to defend against invasions from the north. Along the Tyne River from west to east is the entrance to the sea. In those days, the King of England built some castles here, consisting of a wooden spire main building and an earthen outer wall. New Castle is the source of the name Newcastle.
Walking to the opposite side of the castle road, there is a long staircase going down, with some walls, an ancient well and several doors next to it. I believe these are also part of the castle and together constitute the history and origin of this city.

Close to Buckingham Palace. You can see various animals. The playgrounds such as Palais, Swan, Black Swan, Goose, Goose, Squirrel, etc. are also characteristic and good.
St James' Park is located in the most prosperous downtown area of Newcastle, and in front of the main entrance is a sculpture of Newcastle's top scorer Jack Milburn. Like any modern stadium, the main frame of the steel structure is simple and firm, the floodlights and the columns supporting the roof of the grandstand are shining, the four-sided grandstand is clear, the seats are clean and bright, and the stadium is built with changing rooms, trophies showrooms, gyms, A range of supporting facilities, such as a bar and business centre, even a small police station is set up under the south side grandstand.
