五谷鱼游:“In the quiet countryside of Kent, England, a fairytale castle has stood quietly for 900 years - here is Leeds Castle, the "loveliest castle in the world". It was once the private residence of six medieval queens, and was transformed into a royal palace by Henry VIII. Now it is known as the "Ladies' Castle", a romantic secret place where history and nature are intertwined. Cross the winding moat and touch the ancient stone walls of the Norman era. Every brick and stone hides a story: from the beacon tower of William the Conqueror to the magnificent palace of the Tudor Dynasty, every expansion of the castle is engraved with the mark of power and love. Look, under that Gothic stained glass window, did the young Henry VIII whisper with Queen Catherine here? Stepping into the castle, it seems as if time has gone back. The intricate oak carved dome, the sparkling Venetian glass chandeliers, the tapestries of Elizabeth I... The most stunning is the Gloriana Gallery - 2,000 handmade golden roses blooming on the ceiling, paying tribute to the golden age of the 'Virgin Queen'.”
coo***an:“"The town closest to heaven", the little-known town of Rye in the UK~ When it comes to small towns in the UK, almost no one has heard of her name. Even if you ask the Chinese who have studied and lived in the UK for a long time, they will be confused. She is not like the popular tourist towns such as Windsor, Oxford, Cambridge, Cotswolds, Bibury, etc. She is low-key and beautiful. Only those who also pursue uniqueness and refuse to follow the crowd will have the honor to visit here. She is the town of Rye. The town of Rye is located in the south of England, close to the famous coastal city of Brighton. There are brick cottages with white walls and red tiles on the hills, winding and staggered slate paths, endless pastoral scenery and small boats moored in the harbor. Most importantly, it still maintains the tranquility that a British town should have. Covering an area of only 4.2 square kilometers, Rye was once called "the town closest to heaven!”

似猫非喵:“This is a very worthwhile church to visit. It was built in the Middle Ages, more than 1,000 years ago, and is one of the oldest Christian buildings in the UK. After years of expansion and renovation, it is quite magnificent. Gothic architecture, colorful glass, and the original appearance is preserved intact. It is a pity that there is no Chinese version of the audio guide at present.”

milan_girl:“It's best to print out your tickets in advance and have them at the church entrance for staff to check. If you can book a specific time, do so to avoid waiting in line. We booked a Monday morning free-time ticket and waited in line for about 35 minutes before entering. After checking in, ask a staff member to lead you to the browser, then pick up a Chinese map nearby. Inside, you'll be surrounded by a sea of monuments and plaques. Newton's statue stands out, while Darwin and Hawking's are easily missed on the ground. It's best to do some research before visiting Westminster Abbey; there's so much information to be found.”

136***23:“We joined the British Museum's expert Chinese tour guide, Mr. Zhang, for a detailed, engaging, and engaging explanation. The three-hour tour felt like it flew by, and only when we stopped did we notice our legs were truly tired. Thank you to Mr. Zhang for your guidance and leadership. It was a fantastic museum experience, and the children thoroughly enjoyed it! We'll definitely book a more in-depth tour next time!”

The gardens run along the River Stour, providing picturesque water views, especially with the weeping willows and vibrant flower beds. The area is well-maintained, and it's a favorite for both locals and tourists who appreciate nature.”
