Stepping into Manchester China City, it seems to be through a time-space tunnel, and instantly enter a place full of Oriental charm. Traditional archway, porch of dragons and phoenixes, full of strong oriental charm. Chinatown is a great place to experience diverse Asian cultures, with restaurants, shops, supermarkets and more.

John Rylands Research Institute and Library

没有蜡olling

The John Rylands Library in Manchester, England, known as one of the most beautiful libraries in the world, gives you the illusion of studying in a church. You want to cherish every second and study hard... Mr. Rylands&#39; widow used this unique way to commemorate her husband, John Rylands, which is the highest level of intellectual romance. It really amazed the time, moved the years, and was at peace in the elegance.
