    such a lovely place, the duomo or cathedral is very big that I cannot take a picture of the whole cathedral. Even if I have seen it several times I always love to visit and see it again and again.

    Booking tickets on Ctrip for two people was over a hundred yuan more than the official website, but the official website sold out the time slot we needed, while Ctrip was still able to book, which was quite good. Booking in advance and arriving on time to skip the line and scan the QR code to enter was very convenient. The original David was much larger than I expected and much more refined than the replica next to the Palazzo Vecchio. It's well worth a visit.

    The Miracle Square is located in the northwest corner of Pisa, Italy. It is a walled area and is famous for the complex on the square. It contains four complexes: 1. Pisa Cathedral: Founded in 1063, it is a representative work of medieval Roman architecture. The mosaic decoration inside the church blends Byzantine style and forms a unique "Pizza Roman style". 2. Leaning Tower of Pisa ​: As an iconic building in the square, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a unique clock tower, which is tilted due to poor basic handling, becoming a world architectural wonder. ​ 3. St. John's Baptist Church: Built in 1153, it is a circular building known for its magnificent dome and exquisite decorative art. ​ 4. Cemetery Square ​: Built in the second half of the 13th century, it is a rectangular marble building with beautiful hollowed-out arcades and sculptures inside.

    This combo ticket is quite expensive, and two or three of the five attractions aren't particularly interesting, but I bought it anyway, adhering to the principle of "since you're already there." There was a minor issue: the QR code on the order form wasn't the ticket. Instead, there was a link in the email that turned out to be a PDF file. It took me over half an hour to figure it out, asking staff everywhere. It was quite a waste of time, so I deducted one point from Ctrip. Fortunately, customer service was helpful, so I felt reassured. The Leaning Tower is noticeably tilted upon reaching the summit, and the walkway is a bit crooked. It's just so-so at the top. Staff regularly sing hymns in the baptistery, and while I couldn't understand them, the sound of the chants swirling and resonating through the tall, circular building was quite moving. The cemetery itself was relatively simple, with just a few sculptures and murals. I can't remember the name of the XXX museum, and I couldn't understand it at all. I didn't even know it, but I wasn't impressed. Finally, I was delayed at the Opera Museum, so I didn't have time to visit it. Overall, this combo ticket was the most expensive and least cost-effective of my entire trip to Italy. I have to complain about how casual Italians are at work. I bought the earliest ticket for the 9 o'clock tower, but it was 8:55 and they still hadn't shown up. The people queuing up were confused and thought they were in the wrong place. It was past 9 o'clock before two or three staff members slowly came over with a code scanning machine and started working in a hurry.

    The Uffizi Gallery is very classic, with a reasonable flow. The works of the masters are worth appreciating slowly. The Pitti Palace is worth seeing, and the interior is not hot. The Medici family is so powerful. The Boboli Gardens are just outside the Pitti Palace. I thought the Pitti Palace Gardens were far away from the Boboli Gardens, so I was still looking for the Boboli Gardens after walking around the Boboli Gardens. My family laughed to death. I accidentally went to the Castle Hill behind and encountered a heavy rain. It was quite pleasant to walk after the rain. I had the energy to continue to watch the sunset at the nearby Michelangelo Hill. We had seen it the day before and didn't go there

    Palazzo Vecchio (Italian for "Old Palace") is the town hall of Florence, Italy. Overlooking Piazza della Signoria, it is the historic centre of Florence and the main site of the origins and history of the Florentine Republic, still maintaining its reputation as the political focal point of the city.

    A really beautiful place, though smaller than the famous ones. Still worth a visit.
