What travelers say:

Today, you will find out about Birmingham, the English name of Birmingham, the second largest city in the UK, located in the middle of the British Isle. The 16th century was Europe's dominant industrial and commercial center, the largest and most varied metalworking area in the world at the time. In the 18th century, the great engineer James Watt invented the steam engine, which led to the industrial revolution in England and brought a dramatic change to Birmingham: towering chimneys, busy streets, and rows of neat factories. Today Birmingham is still an important industrial city in the UK, such as machinery, plastics, chemicals, glass, rubber, gold and silver jewelry. The city is naturally divided into the new city and the old city. The train station of the new city is near the site of the British Industrial Exhibition. The old city station is the center of Birmingham. The concentration of shops, narrow roads and endless crowds here make it forbidden for vehicles to pass.
