Movie time in Birmingham
Perhaps most people in China are less enthusiastic about drama and traditional opera than westerners, which is of course related to the lack of traditional atmosphere. However, watching a movie to relax is one of the entertainment ways that people in China generally like, and it is also one of the things that people often do on dates and parties. Then let's take a look at the most famous cinema in Birmingham and see what movies are showing recently.
Electronic cinema
The reason why this cinema can make the list is not because of the advanced screening equipment or the luxurious screening hall, or even that this cinema does not have the above two characteristics. So why is this cinema the most famous cinema in Birmingham? The answer lies in its long history.
Since the opening of 1909, this cinema has gone through a whole history of 106 since the first film was released on February 27th, 2009, and movies are still shown here. Interestingly, the first film at that time was still a silent film. Perhaps people at that time didn't think that today's movies can present such high definition, which is enough to "confuse the real with the fake", especially the application of 3D technology, which makes viewers want to reach out and touch.
So half of the people who watch movies here are watching this ancient but advancing cinema, or are they accompanied by local childhood memories? But in any case, this cinema has become an indispensable stop in Birmingham. Let's take a look at the 20 15 summer blockbuster.
Tickets: 8.40 for standard seats, 5.40 for disabled people, 0.20 for front-row soft-seat sofa/kloc-0, 3.90 for luxury sofa/kloc-0, and 0.50 for 3D movies/kloc-0.

The hottest bar in Birmingham
1. Nightingale Club
This is the most famous gay nightclub in Birmingham. The whole club has three floors and can accommodate 2000 people at the same time. Its popularity is not difficult to imagine. Surprisingly, this nightclub has a history of more than 30 years, but it is still the hottest gay club in Birmingham, which shows that this club has secret weapons.
One of the secret weapons is the space and partition of this club. Pop music is on the first floor, and dance music is on the second and third floors. People with different musical tastes will find their favorite music when they come here. Another secret weapon is that this is the cradle of British DJs, and many popular DJs perform here. There are theme activities or special guests coming here almost at any time to turn over the whole audience and get the nightlife of Birmingham high.

2. Washington principle
This bar is a cocktail-themed bar, so it is quiet. The waiters in the bar are very friendly, and most of the guests are regular customers. Whether old or young, they like to come here to get together with friends or have a drink to relax.
As a very localized bar, not only the taste is very close to Birmingham people's preferences, but also the atmosphere is very "Birmingham"-a little soft in rigidity, and there will be some surprising small activities or performances from time to time. No wonder this bar is so prosperous.
Birmingham, known as the great heart of England, is located in the middle of England, close to the center of England. As the only big city in Britain that has not developed by the sea or along the river, Birmingham has a unique geographical advantage with its back to London. Under the strong influence of the industrial revolution, Birmingham developed rapidly and was the manufacturing center of railway locomotives, steam engines and ships at that time. In addition to its absolute advantages in these traditional industries, Birmingham is also ahead of Britain in finance and trade. Now Birmingham's position in British cities is unshakable. It is the largest metal in the world (ferrous metallurgy, nonferrous metallurgy, such as copper, zinc, brass, aluminum, nickel and so on. The processing zone is also an important industrial pillar of Britain in terms of machine tools, instruments, carriages, bicycles, airplanes, chemistry and military industry. In addition, the automobile industry, modern finance and tourism have also developed greatly, and it is the intersection of major railways, highways and canal systems. All these characteristics have created the unique "combination of rigidity and flexibility" of this city, but in fact, people from China who come to visit or live in Birmingham will soon find that Birmingham is actually a city of "combination of rigidity and flexibility". Many scenic spots and places worth visiting here are full of flexible connotations.

3. Birmingham Central Library
First of all, talk about the appearance of the central library. This central library, known as the "ugly building", is not optimistic in appearance. From a distance, it looks like a golden pagoda hanging upside down, and the sensory proportion is out of balance, which always makes people feel that something is wrong. Naturally, it is not surprising that there is a high voice of "demolition and reconstruction" after the completion. But as a library, perhaps the appearance is not important, after all, it is not a "vase". In fact, this library has slowly proved its value:
It is one of the largest and busiest libraries in Europe, receiving an average of 5,000 readers every day and borrowing 700,000 books every year. Compared with those gorgeous libraries, this practicality is beyond the reach of ordinary libraries. At the same time, the reading experience here is also beyond those who only look at the outside without looking at the connotation. Because the internal design of the central library is extremely reasonable and the lighting is first-class, the sun will not shine on the books. In addition, the library is warm in winter and cool in summer. Even in hot summer, without air conditioning, the room temperature is kept below 30 degrees Celsius, giving readers a good environment to enjoy the knowledge world.
In addition, the library has two platforms, where the urban landscape of Birmingham is not bad. Visitors can enter for free, but they need a card to borrow books, and borrowing books is free.
Opening hours: Monday to Tuesday 1 1am-7pm, Wednesday to Saturday1am-5pm;
Address: Centennial Square, Broad Street, Birmingham, West Midlands 12.

5. The damaged surface of 5.StPhilip (Birmingham Cathedral)
Birmingham Cathedral is also called St Philip Cathedral.
Cathedral). This baroque building, considered to be the most creative in Britain at that time, was built in 1725 and has a history of 290 years. Many tourists go to church to appreciate the charm of religious buildings and to see Mr.
Edward
Edward Burne-Jones designed and drew four huge stained glass windows. Because no matter from which angle, these four glass windows are highly appreciated. From the artistic point of view, the painting style of these four glass windows is a tribute to Mihalangello, with exquisite techniques, and the detailed description of angels, Christ, Notre Dame and Christians is even more incisive. In the sense of religious culture, these four glass windows tell the classic story of the Bible, that is, birth-suffering-ascension-judgment.
The present location of the church is the last Georgia Square in the center of Birmingham. This square was built in 1779 as a part of newhall Manor. It used to be a very elegant and charming place, but later a factory was built here, so it was abandoned. Fortunately, it has been redeveloped in recent years, making it a vibrant place again.

6. bullring shopping center
Not to mention how women need a shopping center to survive, I have to say that this shopping center does bring a lot of convenience and shopping fun to people around them, so everyone agrees that it is the center of Birmingham. There are more than 160 shops operating here, and there are complete auxiliary shops such as catering and leisure. Men who can't shop can order a cup of coffee and slowly wait for those who like shopping to drink enough at once.
The whole shopping center is divided into two buildings, left and right, and the ground floor can communicate with each other. In addition, there is a corridor connected with Birmingham Railway Station on the second floor, which is really convenient for people who have to take the train after shopping. Of course, people who drive here don't have to worry about parking spaces, because this shopping center has 10 15 parking spaces. I believe that most people can still find a parking space smoothly. It's just an extra charge for parking, 0- 1 hour per day, 2.50 pounds.
; 1-2 hours 4.50; 2-3 hours 6.50
; 7.00 3-4 hours; 4-6 hours 8.00; 6-8 hours12.00; 16.00 for more than 8 hours;
In addition, the appearance of the bullring shopping center is very modern, and the external wall is covered with 654.38+0.5 million aluminum sheets, which is quite modern. There is also a bullring in front of one of the shopping malls, which often stops tourists from taking pictures.
Bull sculpture, legend has it that touching it will bring good luck!
What's more worth mentioning is the Birmingham Farmers' Market next to the shopping center, which is simply a paradise for home life. I am a complete kitchen controller. You can't even walk to a place like this. Damn cheap prices make us ordinary people who put up with high prices in London all day. I'll show you the fruit and vegetable market and poultry market in Birmingham another day, and make people in London envy and hate!
Business hours: Monday to Friday 10am_8pm, Saturday 9am_8pm and Sunday 1 1am_5pm.

Spend the night in Birmingham.
Although it's dark outside, it's only after 6 pm. Look, it's still early, so some friends agreed to go out for a walk. ?
Turn right when you leave the hotel and cross a narrow alley. Suddenly, the lights flashed, the crowd was bustling, and the festive atmosphere came to my face. ?
I have been abroad several times before, and I have been to more than a dozen countries, especially Europe. It is really rare to be among so many foreigners at once. There are many people in Ginza, Tokyo, Moscow Air Show and Charles de Gaulle Airport, but they are all in the city center and during the day. It is really rare to see a few people abroad at night. Most people who come out for a walk after dinner are compatriots. ?
Feel free to walk along this street, boy. It's really a world of lights and a sea of people.
Wherever they go, people push around, stumble and stumble like Japanese women. In the middle of the street, a long row of various wooden shacks has been temporarily set up, and colorful neon lights have been pulled up. Piles of young people gathered around various beer barrel (cup)-shaped bars in Gao Yuanyuan, drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and chatting; If you can't find the bar at the moment, you can just find a big round trash can and stand and drink and chat. Couples or confidants in twos and threes pay a cup of deposit, and each person drinks a large glass of beer while walking. Brother was alone, no one to talk to and no place to chat up, but he didn't delay drinking. He just found a place to sit down, poured himself a glass of wine and enjoyed himself. I really admire these foreigners, who wear short black silk skirts or shorts T-shirts in the temperature of 5 degrees, drink cold beer, and what's more, sit directly on the cold stone steps. Look at his physique, it is really a word: great! ?
The whole street passes through the city hall square, winding, miscellaneous but not chaotic. I don't know if it was divided in advance.
Stacked with food, sausages, barbecues, fried rice, wine, ice cream, candy cakes; Handicrafts are piled up for sale, including paintings, leather goods, wood carvings and small costumes; There are also many games, such as hoop and shooting. Walking around is just like the domestic market. To tell you the truth, it's comfortable to walk around here. Foreigners don't shout as loudly as domestic businesses. You come to buy things, just let it go.
If you ask, I will introduce you. I never make a fuss, but I am enthusiastic.
Seeing a tall colored lighthouse in the distance, Santa Claus standing on the lighthouse is lifelike and beaming. Squeeze through, and there's a beer shop. It's just that this place is crowded with people, and there is a big glass of beer, just like the railway station in China's Spring Festival travel rush boom, but it's full of alcohol excitement everywhere. It turned out that it was all caused by free drinking. ?
When I visited RR (Rolls Royce) Training Center in the afternoon, I also heard that Britain has entered an aging society, but the tourists in the night market are all young people. ?
After returning to the hotel for a rest, I could faintly hear the songs and shouts of young people after drinking in the early hours of the morning. I couldn't help but sigh, Birmingham, the vitality of the city is at night, and the vitality of young people is at night.
(Note: Birmingham, located in the middle of England, is the second largest city in Britain, the most culturally diverse city in Britain and the birthplace of the industrial revolution. It was here that james watt, the father of the industrial revolution, invented the two-way cylinder steam engine. )
For many young people who like Europe, they must experience it and find their dreams and passions here.
