Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

Night view

苏河家园

Edinburgh Castle is the soul of the city. Stepping up the castle, as if crossing the medieval period, the ancient walls, the black ancient guns, all tell the smoke of the war. Standing on the height of the castle, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, the red tiles and green trees, the blue sea and blue sky, have a panoramic view.

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh Old City, England, is surrounded by medieval stone buildings and beautiful scenery. Edinburgh is not only a financial town, but also a palace of art. Walking on the street, you can see entertainers&#39; happy performances everywhere. This is the origin of traditional Scottish dress skirts, the blend of art and life makes people linger, it is worth a visit.

&quot;The bagpipes came from afar, I only care about your news. The castle is a secret for love, and I am a memory for you.&quot; This is the location of Zhou Dong&#39;s &quot;Ming Ming&quot; MV, and the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s Harry Potter creation. If you dream of a medieval ancient city in a magical world, you must visit here in your life. Every building is a natural film background, and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world. Eventually, when the sunset in Carlton Hill confiscated time, Edinburgh, becoming an ever-fading amber, will remain in my memory.
