    "I cycled there, about 15 mins from the station. There are many art installations as well as the huge memorial. While I was there there was a s pool group, otherwise a restful place to contemplate the horror of what happened."
    Nagasaki
    3.2km from downtown
    Highlights: Nagasaki Peace Park is a memorial park built on the hills north of the center of the atomic bombing to pray for world peace. In the park, there are various facilities such as the Peace Prayer Statue and the Peace Fountain. Every year on August 9, the anniversary of the atomic bombing, a peace commemoration ceremony is held in the ceremony square in front of the prayer statue. The Peace Prayer Statue The Peace Prayer Statue is made of bronze with a height of 9.7 meters and a weight of 30 tons. It symbolizes the wish of Nagasaki citizens to pray for peace. The cyan statue's right hand pointed high to the sky represents the threat of the atomic bomb explosion, the left hand stretched horizontally represents peace, and the gently closed eyelids are to pray for those who died in the atomic bomb explosion, indicating that the world can enjoy peace without the threat of the atomic bomb. . It is said that many of the martyrs whose bodies were scorched by the nuclear explosion at the Peace Spring died groaning, "Please give me water, give me water". In order to pray for such a suffering soul and offer a clear spring, to pray for the abolition of nuclear weapons and the eternal peace of the world, this fountain of peace was built. The fountain symbolizes the wings of the dove and the crane. The Tower of Thousand Paper Cranes, which was built on October 6, 1982, has two towers, which stand on both sides of the Peace Prayer Statue. Many people who visit the park fold their prayers for peace into paper cranes and dedicate the paper cranes to the tower. Thousands of paper cranes expressed people's sincere wishes for world peace.

    No. 1 of Night Attractions
    Highlights: The night view of Mt. Inasa can be said to be a landmark of Nagasaki City, and it is also one of the most popular night view spots. The night view of Nagasaki was selected as the "New Three Night Views of the World" along with Hong Kong and Monaco in the "Night View Summit 2012 in Nagasaki". In addition, in 2015, it was selected as one of "Japan's New Three Night Views" along with Kobe and Sapporo. And the night view of Mt. Inasa is called "the night view of 10 million US dollars". There is no doubt about its visibility! In April 2018, the observation deck was renovated and reopened, and the lights embedded in the floor are also for tourists. Create a more romantic space.

    Highlights: Xindi Chinatown is located in Xinchi Town, Nagasaki City. It is one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan alongside Yokohama Chinatown and Kobe Nanjing Town. There are about 40 Chinese restaurants and Chinese grocery stores on both sides of the street. The street is located on newly opened land that was reclaimed from the sea for the construction of warehouses for Chinese imported trade goods in the middle of the Edo period. There is a Zhonghua Gate at the entrances of the east, west, north and south of the cross road with a total length of about 250 meters, and the traditional Chinese orientation is carved. The animals of the gods are Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. The slate route of Xindi Chinatown was assisted in the construction of Nagasaki's sister city, Fuzhou City. To taste Nagasaki food, when it comes to the food that represents Nagasaki, we have to mention assorted noodles (ちゃんぽん), which was first created by Mr. Chen Pingshun, the first-generation founder of the Chinese restaurant Sihailou, and gradually spread to other stores, becoming the representative of Nagasaki Sexual cuisine. There is also crunchy "pan udon", which is no less popular than assorted noodles. Why not visit Chinatown for a relaxing taste of Nagasaki's local flavors. Nagasaki Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three major festivals in China. It is loved by people in Japan as the "Moon Viewing Festival". People celebrate the bright, round and beautiful "Mid-Autumn Moon" as a symbol of family reunion. . The 1,000 full moon lanterns that adorn Chinatown is a wonderful finale. Nagasaki Lantern Festival The Nagasaki Lantern Festival was originally a celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year in Nagasaki Xinchi Chinatown. In 1994, its scale was expanded and it became well-known throughout the country as a major winter scene. Every year from the 1st to the 15th day of the first lunar month of the Spring Festival, with Xindi Chinatown as the center, the streets are decorated with about 15,000 lanterns and images of various themes, presenting a dreamy scene, attracting a large number of tourists.

    "The Nagasaki Atomic Archive is located on a church that was destroyed by the atomic bomb at the time, and there is only one wall left in the church. So far, you can still see a clock that was deformed by the shock wave hanging on the wall, and the clock needle stopped at 11:02, the moment the atomic bomb fell. The original explosion library was founded with a simple intention, in order not to forget the sadness of the past, in order to inspire the fighting spirit. The pavilion system introduces the recent development of Nagasaki after the original explosion, from which you can understand the destruction of the atomic bomb and war, and the spirit of survival of Nagasaki people from grief."

    Highlights: The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum is located on top of a bombed-down church. There is only one wall left in the church. To this day, you can still see a clock that was destroyed and deformed by the shock wave hanging on the wall, and the hour hand stopped at 11:02. The original intention of the Atomic Bomb Museum is very simple, in order not to forget the sorrows of the past, in order to inspire the fighting spirit to move forward. The exhibition hall systematically introduces the recent development of Nagasaki after it was destroyed by the atomic bomb to the present. From this, you can understand the great destruction of the war and the strong survival spirit of Nagasaki people from grief. It is mainly divided into two exhibition areas. One is to display all the surviving objects, ranging from a grain of carbonized rice to a bicycle that is squeezed and crooked. All of their states are proofs to witness the tragedy. Another pavilion shows the far-reaching influence of the late stage of the atomic bombing. The photos on display include people who have suffered lesions after being irradiated. These vivid cases all reveal the cruelty of the war. Check it out.
