This is a local community that has always been a gathering place for nobles in the southern United States, so the income of residents here is very high. There are many restaurants and bars in the community, and each store has a resident singing band of different levels. There are also many souvenir shops of country music, but the prices of the goods inside are not cheap, but many of the shopkeepers are musical instrument experts, and you can communicate if you are interested.United States · Nashville

Atlanta is the hometown of Martin Luther King, Jr., a famous black civil rights leader, and was one of the centers of the American black civil rights movement in the 1960s. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speech "I Have a Dream" has long since become a masterpiece. After his assassination, his body was buried in the Ebenezer Christ Church cemetery. In 1973, Atlanta became the first city in the southern United States to be elected mayor by a black man. There's a hall with some videos about the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., and there's a pool in the square with the sarcophagi of Martin and his wife, and there's a burning flame next to it.United States · Atlanta

There is a forested path in the park that leads to the former site of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, whose factory was burnt down in the American Civil War.

Nashville is a very relaxing city, especially clean and beautiful. It is the music city of the United States, with music everywhere. There is not only the Music Hall of Fame to visit, but also many buildings and natural landscapes to see.

The Olympic Plaza is also a large building. The square itself is very historical. It is quite interesting to visit this place. You can see many Olympic facilities and projects. The interior of the square is also a large space where you can see a lot.

The Martin Luther King National Historic Site is more than just a tourist attraction. It is a microcosm of a profound history. Here you can learn about the background, development and achievements of the American civil rights movement through exhibitions, explanations and guided tours. The site includes Martin Luther King's birthplace, church, memorial hall and the graves of him and his wife Coretta Scott King. For tourists who want to understand the history of American civil rights, especially the social changes in the 1960s, this is undoubtedly a must-visit place.

This place has been closed for a long time. It's empty when you walk past it. Don't go there again. I thought I could buy something. I asked the store next to it. I found out that both the upper and lower floors are closed. I don't know why. I can only go to other places nearby.

Beautiful area for hiking and suitable for all fitness levels. Dog friendly, and you can customize your day easily around each waterfall you want to see. We did around 5 different short 1 mile hikes around the park and took us around 1/2 a day exploring. Winter is the best time to go as you can really see the falls open up!

The parking fee is $5, which is suitable for several parking lots around the lake. Go to the roadside in the central area and give the ticket to the ticket seller, who will check the ticket and write the date on it. It is a good place for picnics, boating, fishing, and relaxation. Of course, you can also walk along the path along the river, listen to the sound of the stream, and see the vicissitudes of the dilapidated old houses.
