This is my favorite science museum. The exterior is stunning, and the interior exhibits and interactions are very good. It was the first time I learned that Leonardo da Vinci was a genius who could do everything, including architecture, painting, sculpture, anatomy, and bridge building. It was the first time I learned about the moon and Mars. It was the first time I learned about genes. There were too many interactions. The children were especially hi

San Nicolas Square (Plaza de San Nicolas) is a lively place any time of day, with craftsmen, flamenco dancers, and street musicians setting up along the paving stones to entertain visitors. At dusk, crowds of locals and tourists turn out to watch the sunset over the palace grounds before adjourning to restaurants and tea shops on nearby Elvira Street.

A large square facility in Valencia, Plaza de la Virgen is also quite attractive to tourists. The square has very ancient architectural customs. Here you can also experience a lot of strong Spanish-style food and some small souvenir shops. I like the restaurants here very much☁️

It is so beautiful here. The weather in Northern Europe is very cold, but here the sun is shining brightly with no clouds in the sky. The temperature is 22 degrees. The sea and sky are as clean as if they were washed. From the balcony of Europe, you can see Africa.

This is the most famous beach in Malaysia. The coastline here is very long and the sea water is very clear. It is a very good choice to sunbathe on the beach. The beach is also very soft. There are also many good restaurants around.
