As an ordinary tourist, I thought the procedure to enter the Capitol Building was very complicated, but I didn't expect that I could enter and visit just by checking the bags I brought with me.
This building was built in 1885 and covers an area of 51 acres. It was designed by architect Elijah E Myer in imitation of the Capitol Building in Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
It is amazing that the passage of time has not affected its appearance and internal structure at all. It is as new as ever. Visitors can visit the government offices and have time to visit the exterior of the building to appreciate this century-old building from all angles.
the Texas Capitol was truly a very memorable experience! I’m glad I was able to visit it and it’s absolutely free. there are also schedules for guided tours which are fee.

Magnificent view of Colorado river and downtown Austin!!!
We decided to hike up Bang Yuan Hill at night and I was surprised at how much fun it was. This hike requires a flashlight and you need to be very careful where you step as there are many rocks lying on the trail.
