Each attraction has its unique historical heaviness, and I will write separate thoughts later🤳
A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.
A must do tour to walk where our Founding Fathers created our Declaration of Independence and US Constitution.
It should also be a representative attraction in Philadelphia. When it comes to Philadelphia, it is natural to have the attraction, which was once the Pennsylvania State Capitol. Walking from the city hall, you can see this two-story old red brick building from a distance, which is very conspicuous among the surrounding buildings. It was in this building that the Declaration of Independence was born, and thus it also gave the building a different historical significance. Come here to visit, be sure to come early, everyone needs to queue up to enter, and there is also a security check at the entrance, it is recommended to come to queue half an hour in advance.
The Independent Palace is listed as a World Heritage Site. It is worth visiting and free of charge, but you need to get a ticket or an appointment at the visitor center (INDEPENDENCE VISIT CENTER). At 8:15, when we arrived at the Independent Palace Tourist Center, there were about twenty or thirty people queuing up. Some staff handed out tourist materials. The brochure contained a subway map, which was very useful. Into the room at 8:30. Without checking passports and other documents, you can get tickets for the same day or make an appointment for tickets other than the same day. Each person can get up to ten tickets. We need tickets for nine o'clock that day. The Independence Palace is not far from the place where the tickets are collected. It's about ten minutes'walk. You can take pictures first and wait for admission. When visiting the Independent Memorial Hall, the group was divided into explanations and guided tours. In the conference room on the first floor, where the delegates were sitting, the chairs remained intact in front of the audience. Above the back of the seat was a rising sun. The lecturer also showed the sketchpad. About half an hour's visit, the explanatory speaks English very fast, and involves many backgrounds, which is not easy to understand.
Overall good, the music in the store 🎵 is also very good, people feel very good!
