I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. This monument near the Freedom Bell is unified and managed by National Park. Opposite the Freedom Bell is a large visitor center. Here you can consult the travel guide for Philadelphia. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic. Help to give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, you can buy refrigerator stickers, books, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs. There is also an exhibition in the visitor center. Although it will be more mini-pocket than the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is also a parking lot on the ground floor of the independent palace visitor center for everyone to park. Although parking in downtown Philadelphia is not very convenient, parking spaces are not very easy to find. I recommend everyone to come to the underground parking lot of the visitor center to park. If you come in peak season, you need to come to the visitor center to apply for the ticket for the visit of the Independence Palace first, but I don’t know if it’s because of the epidemic. You don’t need to get a ticket when you come. You can enter the visit directly.

If New York City, in addition to the famous Wall Street and the copper cattle, Ground Zero is also a large New York must-check tourist attraction, but unlike other lively New York, it feels that Ground Zero thieves have a little more historical significance, a huge square sinking pool, The plaque around the name of the victims is engraved in a dense manner, and many flowers can be seen placed next to the name for memorialization. There is also a bronze relief next to the World Trade Center site. If there is enough time, you may as well follow the navigation and walk all the way. This is to commemorate the heroic fire rescue in the 911 incident. A 20-meter-long bronze relief sculpture built by firefighters, alongside photos of 343 fire officers and soldiers who were tragically killed in the disaster, accompanied by a sentence of "May we never forget", makes people sigh the precious and beautiful nature of the peace era. Standing at Ground Zero, surrounded by towering skyscrapers, the contrast is very strong.

Needless to say, the reputation of the Freedom Bell naturally feels like the Independence Palace can become a must-check place for Philadelphia attractions, as if every time you come to Philadelphia, you will also check in ritually. The two are also very close. Walking across the road is that the exhibition hall is open to the public for free. There is no need to buy tickets. The Independence Palace needs to book on the official website in advance. The ticket reservation fee of 1 yuan. The Free Bell has a separate exhibition hall, and the entrance needs to be checked. You can visit up close, you can walk to the free clock, you can surround 360 degrees before, but this time only opened 180 degrees, the other half stopped, but this advantage is that you can unlock a background free clock. The Liberty Bell was originally a palace in the Independence Palace, but was later displayed in the memorial on the lawn due to the cracking of the bell body. This time, the display stage at the visitor center was empty to another point of knowledge. When it arrived in Philadelphia in 1752, it first appeared a crack, and after several repairs there were cracks, so it was abandoned. And it was the clock that struck on July 4, 1776. The free clock has also experienced several migrations. Although the location of each relocation is not far away, people are still worried that there will be more serious cracks. They have also installed a microvariable displacement sensor that can test the movement of one millionth of a meter to test whether it is suitable for relocation. Every tour seems to unlock different little knowledge points, which is probably a great pleasure to travel.

This scene is often seen in large American films: behind the majestic Washington statue, there are eight columns of Greek temple-style majestic buildings. Because it is the site of Washington's swearing-in as president, the National Memorial Hall of the Federation has become a place for patriotic education; because it is close to the Trinity Church, the copper cattle, and the cruise ship terminal, it has become a must-have road for Chinese tourists, and it has been a bustling and endless flow of people.
