Came on September 22, 2017. I heard that the White House has not been open to the public since 911, and we can only look far outside the fence when we go, so the White House has become a boring landmark, taking a photo of the tourists who “come here” to check in. There is a big pine tree on the south side of the White House, and I didn’t expect it to be a “landmark” and a “national Christmas tree”... Well, it seems that you should pick Christmas to visit.
United States Capitol
_We***42
⌚️Time: 8:30-16:30, Monday-Saturday
It is free to make an appointment to visit the Congress Hall, but the number of visitors per day is limited. It is best to make an appointment in advance. We went at 9:30 in the morning. They will give you a white strip to stick on your clothes (see the white one on my mother's chest in Figure 1, and the green one is from the Library of Congress). There is only one time period with Mandarin explanation. I thought it was a Chinese, but it turned out to be a foreign girl. I was quite surprised. I thought she could speak Chinese, but it turned out that she spoke English and translated it into Mandarin for us using translation software! Can't they find a Chinese American to serve? But what should I do? The girl was very friendly and took a photo with us!
The Capitol is a must-visit stop in Washington. The entire building is also very magnificent and distinctive. It is a pearl-white marble building. The three-story flat-top building has a three-story dome in the center. The sculpture on the top of the Capitol is the goddess of freedom.
The Library of the Capitol is also suitable for checking in together. Most museums in Washington are open to the public for free.
National Mall
泰迪小熊
Came on September 21, 2017. Between Capitol Hill and the Washington Monument, there is a large long green space, the National Mall of the United States, surrounded by many national museums and memorials, each venue is very interesting, a single place can be visited for half a day. If there is not enough time, it is not bad to take pictures. These buildings have different shapes, and the photos and punch cards are very popular.
Lincoln Memorial

[Cost-effective] 24 hours free opening, although we went to 6 o'clock, but winter ❄️ dark early. But the momentum is still the same. But how do you feel that Taipei's Zhongzheng Memorial Hall and Lincoln Memorial Hall are so similar! [View] Needless to say, the atmosphere is magnificent! Facing the Washington Monument! At this time, I suddenly remembered that Chairman Mao's poem "Jiangshan so many beautiful, attracted countless heroes to fold!
Washington Monument
铨上风满楼
Washington DC monument is one of the landmark buildings in Washington DC... It was built to commemorate the first president of the United States, George Washington. This stone monument was once the tallest building in the world... Today, it is still the tallest stone obelisk in the world...
