Anfield

Elbik

Anfield has always been a nice stadium. The Kop driving the atmosphere into the other stands. Now they two stands have been extended I have been worried that the atmosphere might be lost, particularly when seared in the upper tiers but having experienced several seat locations I have to say that it&#39;s as good as ever. Probably one of the good stadiums in Europe.The exterior has been vastly improved over the years too , We did the stadium tour and it was very good. Audio tour on every corner. 😃

I am not a Beatles fan, but after this tour, I was still moved by their legendary stories. And I found that some of the familiar songs were written by them. I appreciate Lenon&#39;s talent, but I like McCartney&#39;s gentleness and restraint more. It is a good place to visit.

It is a very wonderful tourist attractions with much to see around like exhibits!

Liverpool Cathedral

Yushanshan

The exterior of this church is unremarkable. After entering it, it will really be amazing. It feels very beautiful as soon as you enter. It is super big. It is recommended to come on Sunday. There will be a choir every Sunday. You can pray with the locals and feel the atmosphere.

I didn&#39;t know much about this museum at first, but my son insisted on going. I took a taxi in the rain and it was really rewarding. The special exhibition of the return of the gods inside is all cultural relics from the ancient Roman era. It is a group of statues from Zeus in ancient Greece. You can see the complete body of Venus and the heroic Athena. The background music is that people in ancient Rome held banquets and created a god for this purpose. There is a painting from Rubens&#39; studio that is very funny. You can take a closer look. The ancient Egyptian pavilion of the museum made my son praise it. Compared with the exhibition of the British Museum, the layout here is reasonable, the description is clear, and the display is clear! In the eyes of an outsider like me, it&#39;s not crowded with people in the British Museum anyway, and I can&#39;t see anything. I came to Liverpool and I knew that the research on ancient Egyptian civilization here is not inferior to the British Museum! Friends who are interested can come and take a good look. The World Museum is indeed worthy of its name. It has a cultural relic exhibition hall from all over the world. It&#39;s the first time I&#39;ve seen anything related to Eskimos! From clothes to supplies, it&#39;s an eye-opener. There are also Mayan and Indian ones. You can see them even if you don&#39;t go to America. The African part is arranged according to countries and regions, and the exhibits are very rich. There are also reflections on the colonization of Africa in the past, which reflects the conscience of cultural people. The aquarium is very fun. Some of them are local characteristics of Liverpool, which are different from the ones we are familiar with in the Pacific Ocean. This museum is a good place to bring children. Many children are playing in it. There is a large space inside, and you don&#39;t have to worry about bumping into them. The staff are very helpful. When we left, we called Uber. Because parking was not allowed at the entrance of the museum and it was raining heavily outside, we asked the staff about the location of the nearby roads. He specially took out a nearby map for us and introduced the situation in detail. Thank you. In fact, St. John&#39;s Garden is next to the museum, but it was a pity that it rained heavily and we didn&#39;t have a chance to take a good walk. Going further, you can see the Shankly Hotel. My son said that this should be a must-check-in place for Liverpool fans.
