Worried about the lack of time, Zhang Pingyu has made a list of places she wants to go to London. The first place she wants to visit is the Tower of London, which was built by the invading Normans a long time ago in A.D. 1066. Great! This sturdy square stone tower has stood there for 1000 years. Although some buildings have been expanded around the tower, it is still an indispensable part of the palace and prison complex. To Zhang Pingyu's surprise, she found that the Queen's jewels were guarded by the Royal Special Guards, who still wore the uniform of Queen Elizabeth I 400 years ago on some special days.
Then we visited St. Paul's Cathedral, which was built after the 1666 London fire. When it was first built, it looked very spectacular. Westminster Abbey is also a very interesting place, with some statues of late poets and writers, such as Shakespeare. Just as Ping Yu walked out of the cathedral, she heard the bell of the famous Big Ben striking the hour. She finished her day's sightseeing by visiting the outside of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's residence in London. Oh, she has so many things to tell her friends!
The next day, Miss Ping Yu visited the Greenwich Observatory and saw the ancient ships and the famous clocks. She is most interested in the meridian passing through the observatory. This is an imaginary line that divides the world into two hemispheres, east and west, which is convenient for navigation. This line runs through Greenwich, and Ping Yu took a picture of it.
On the last day, she visited the statue of Karl Marx in Herold Cemetery in London. This seems to be a strange thing: this capitalist actually lived in London and died in London. Not only that, he also worked in the reading room of the famous British Museum. Unfortunately, this library has moved from its original place to another building, and the original reading room is gone. But what shocked her most was how many wonderful treasures from different cultures were displayed in the museum. When Ping Yu saw so many tourists admiringly staring at the ancient and beautiful China ceramics and other exhibits, her heart was filled with pride of her motherland.
In another day, Pingyu will leave London for Windsor Castle. When she fell asleep, she thought, "Maybe I can see the queen?"
