The hotel we stayed in is located in the center of Lancaster. Almost all the famous attractions, such as the oldest market, several cathedrals, the city hall, and the earliest state capitol building are within walking distance. There are many restaurants around the hotel. We went to an Indian restaurant called Himalayan Curry & Grill, which has a rating of 4.6 points. The lamb is okay, but the chicken is not delicious. Lancaster is the county with the highest concentration of British people. Currently, there is no electricity. People travel by horse-drawn carriages and lighting by candles. There are many Amish farms around Lancaster that can be visited. The advantage is that the Amish do not use chemical fertilizers, and all the farmed animals and plants are very healthy. In addition to the Amish countryside, Lancaster itself has some attractions. The city center is quite beautiful, and the public security seems good. Lancaster Central Market: 23 N Market St, Lancaster, PA 17603. It is just opposite the Marriott Hotel and is the earliest farmers' market, but we went in and walked around. I personally think the prices are very expensive. The largest church in Lancaster is Trinity Lutheran Church, 31 S Duke St #1, Lancaster, PA 17602, with a beautiful exterior Another famous church is Saint John Lutheran Church, 223 W Orange St, Lancaster, PA 17603 The city hall is also very beautiful, Lancaster City Hall, 120 N Duke St, Lancaster, PA 17602 Capitol: 43 E King St, Lancaster, PA 17602
