European cities are generally small, except those that are particularly playful. Generally, two or three days in big cities and one day in small towns is enough. Of course, if you want to savor a certain art gallery or museum, that's another matter. In the eyes of my family, I think Paris, Rome and Barcelona are excellent schools, and now London is another one. Not only that, I want to put her before Barcelona. Say they are good schools, because I think these cities are fascinating textbooks themselves. The deeper you learn, the more you look at them!
Today I will talk about the art tour route in London, which is definitely full of oil paintings, architecture and literature.
After studying in France for four years, I fell in love with these precious oil paintings, especially those in Paris. As soon as you learn a famous book through reading, you can go directly to the original, which is a very pleasing thing. So coming to London, art galleries are inevitable. This time, I went to four places: National Art Gallery, Portrait Art Gallery and.
The palace gallery, the queen's gallery.
Let's start with the National Gallery. I stayed there all day, but I only enjoyed the works of19th century a little carefully. It's a pity that I don't have time to appreciate the Dutch works of17th century. The National Gallery is divided into four areas according to color. Of course, you can also enjoy 50 famous paintings in four regions with a Chinese browser. For example, Sula's bath in Agniel (Sula: The Bather
exist
Asnières), you can feel the spectral pointillism of pointillism. Looking at this painting from different angles, the color will change and the isolation of the characters will be greatly enhanced. Another example is Thomas gainsborough's A Walk in the Morning (gainsborough: "The")
MorningWalk), reading it carefully is a lifetime journey. Of course, in addition to these 50 famous paintings, excellent works abound. British satirist Hogarth's civilized wedding series (Hogarth: The
Marriage era
Series) impressed me deeply and solidified the real society in an instant. The whole art gallery is like a detailed art history, which can be read slowly. I'm glad that the National Gallery is open to the public free of charge all year round. If I live in London, I really hope to see it from time to time. The National Portrait Gallery is adjacent to it, where we can find portraits including Shakespeare, Bronte sisters, Darwin, JMS, and of course many portraits of the royal family and parliamentarians. The National Portrait Gallery is also open to the public free of charge.
As soon as the art gallery came out, it was Trafalgar Square, a very warm square in the city center. It's really nice to sit there, have lunch, listen to artists' performances and feed pigeons when the weather is fine. Especially in the Christmas season, a big Christmas tree is erected in the center of the square. It is said that Norway gives a Christmas tree every year to thank Britain for its aid in the war.
Visitors who like impressionist painting must not miss Waterloo Bridge.
Kutod Art Museum This is a private courtyard. Although it is not big, there are also many collections. The most famous is Manet's Goddess Club. And I happened to see Sura's paintings in Voith, Courbet, which made me very happy. After all, I live in Courbet Voith, a suburb of Paris this year.
Queen's
The gallery is also part of Buckingham Palace. Personally, I think this is cheating. It's expensive and the paintings are limited. This is just a temporary exhibition. What is even more helpless is that Buckingham Palace is closed in winter except for group tours, and the price of group tours is really are.
You're kidding! So I can only wait for summer with regret.
Buckingham Palace is basically surrounded by a garden, such as Green Park and St. Jamie Park.
Park), I chose the road of St. James' Park. On the other side of the park are the famous Westminster Abbey, St. Margaret's Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Building and, of course, the melodious Thames and the London Eye across the river. St James's Park, once the Royal Forest Garden, is really pleasing to the eye and seems to blend in with those small animals. Squirrels jumping up and down is really interesting. In the misty rain, don't have fun. Next to the park is a boulevard, with tall and vigorous trunks on both sides. Whether you choose to visit the park or the avenue, it is a good choice. I like it here better than the famous Hyde Park. Soon I arrived at the landmark buildings in London. Needless to say, the parliament building is magnificent. It seems that the parliament buildings everywhere are so magnificent. And listen to the sound of Big Ben, will it be more like a wish? Next to Westminster Abbey, visitors can row directly to the Parliament Building. European churches can't surprise me much, but it's interesting to imagine the royal coronation. If you come to Westminster Abbey, don't miss Notre Dame. It is worth mentioning that Westminster Abbey, in addition to the main hall, has an extraordinary momentum and can be seen at a glance. There are Simon's Poet's Corner, Shakespeare Statue, Jane Austen Monument, etc. Will make you linger? Walking out of the main hall to the monastery next to it, I prefer that college.
It is said that the garden used to be a place where hermits and monks grew their own vegetables. This is a quiet garden. When you look at the stone arch, you can see the iconic Big Ben.
Speaking of churches in London, I have to mention St Paul's Cathedral, which used to be the highest skyline in London and the second cathedral in Europe. If you are not in a hurry, Sao Paulo's Chinese explanation can bring you a vivid lesson. In addition to her main hall, she can climb the dome and overlook it. Below the main hall is a rare underground tomb with the same size as the main hall, which is the largest underground tomb in Europe. St Paul's Cathedral is the national cathedral of Britain. As soon as you enter the cathedral, you can see the baptismal pool and "get a new life from the water", which coincides with the motto of Thales, the founder of human philosophy, "Water is the best".
Then there is the nave, which is the way for Christians. It was once the venue for Princess Diana's wedding, the victory celebration of World War II and the state funerals of Wellington and Churchill. You can sit quietly for a while and feel one solemn historical event after another. It would be better if you happen to meet children in the choir (usually around 1 1: 30). Climb 530 steps and explore the 365-inch black and white dome. Smart designers design according to the number of days in a year. In order to increase the view of the church, there are not only inner domes, but also outer domes, which is why Sao Paulo once became the London skyline. The spiral staircase is getting narrower and narrower. When you reach the dome, you can enjoy the scenery of London. Although the wind is strong enough to blow people down, it is still worth going. Before reaching the top of the tower, I will pass the famous echo wall, which is similar to the sound wall and reminds me of the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing. I used to have fun with my friends on the sound wall, but this time I was traveling alone and no one was with me. In fact, the catacombs are not as big as expected, especially when half of them are divided into cafes, and it is even more felt that walking around is over. The atmosphere is not gloomy. No matter how you feel the baptism of St. Paul's church, it is essential for a trip to London.
Coming out of St. Paul's Cathedral and crossing the Millennium Bridge is Shakespeare's Colosseum, which Shakespeare fans should not miss. Unfortunately, there is no drama in winter, so I can only look at the lonely stage and imagine the crowded scene during the performance. To my delight, I am really excited to buy Shakespeare's complete English works in the bookstore of the theater. My childhood dream has finally come true, and it is definitely a book worth remembering for a lifetime.
Another famous but not crowded scenic spot is the Tower of London. This former castle and dungeon stands quietly by the Thames, and you can imagine ships passing by to collect fees. The gatekeepers of the Tower of London are all retired soldiers in their 40 s, and they are not just looking for someone to make up for them. Now they live on one side of the Tower of London, and so do their children and grandchildren. Do they feel like Beijing compound? The most eye-catching thing this time is the royal treasure exhibition inside. The usual few carats are really inconspicuous, and the royal diamonds are almost blinding me. Especially spoons, jewels, scepters and crown jewels are really high-end and unparalleled. Seeing the true face of Four Treasures of the Study, the fare is worthwhile.
The next two small scenic spots, although small, are famous, and there are many people waiting in line. One is the Sherlock Holmes Museum in Baker Street, and the other is the station of Harry Potter. Subway baker
As soon as strait arrived at the station, he saw the detective's head printed on the subway station. Then I went to Baker Street. Before I saw the museum, I saw a sea of people waiting for me. Therefore, detective fans must hurry up, otherwise it is not an exaggeration to queue for two hours. The whole building should be, but the third floor is open to the public. The room is warm and exquisite, with many movie scenes, small pipes and detective hats for tourists to play with. You can also leave your name in the autograph book before you leave. I'm not a Sherlock Holmes fan, so I'm not too excited. But when I think of the satisfaction when I saw Anne's Cabin in Holland, I can think of the excitement of detective fans coming here.
Let's talk about Harry Potter's position in King's College.
At the beginning of Cross's railway station, I was worried that I would have to go to platform 9 or 10 to find the scene in this movie. Do you want me to buy a train ticket at one of these two platforms? As a result, people have been surrounded for tourists to take pictures, and the staff has prepared scarves for you to help take pictures. Professional enough! If only there were such a wall! If you walk to King's College,
At the Cross Station, you can visit the British Library not far from the subway station and feel the deterrent effect of books.
Finally, I want to mention SirJohnSoane's.
Museum, a place I didn't know until I saw the London Raiders, is another place I like crazily after I went there. If you are a lover of architecture, collection or interior design, you may not want to leave there. John
Thorne is the greatest architect in England. 1833, he made a will and donated his house to the country, but asked that the furnishings inside could not be changed at all. The house contains the harvest of the architect's years of travel in Europe, and the layout is ingenious. Everywhere, it seems to be closely related to another place in the house. Especially the oil painter, his eyes are going to be published, which is amazing. It turned out that when I entered the oil painting room, I was surprised to see the oil painting. Amazingly, there are not only four walls, but also moving boards. After each game, there are new collections and mysteries. When you think the answer is clear, the commentator moves a board and the sculpture of the outhouse appears in front of you again. In addition to the surrounding collections, there are some sketches designed by the architects themselves for London. After coming out of the museum, I can only marvel at "genius"!
The British Museum is our most familiar museum. Let me talk about some special feelings. The library of the British Museum is full of awe. Not to mention the style of the library itself, the western toys inside really have a feeling of watching a peep show. Even though I have been to many places in Europe and seen some magnificent museums, I really feel completely convinced here. So the British Museum is a place that makes me feel extremely contradictory. China Pavilion makes me feel sad, but I have to admit that everything in the British Museum is really a treasure. That lifelike chess can't wait to play. Therefore, it is definitely worthwhile to spend more time visiting the British Museum and settling down the history.
London has given me many good memories. A few days' trip in a hurry can't cover everything. You can only treat it as an artistic trip and feast your eyes! Don't be too bold, even if you just walk by the Thames, it's a pleasure!
