Then, next, let's take a look at Bian Xiao's most comprehensive guide for this British tour! Let's take a look at this tourist route with friends in need and Bian Xiao!
British city of London 1:
In recent 20 years, our first impression of London is that it is a "foggy city" in literary works, an English gentleman, and an old black car in film and television works.
As the world's giant city TOP3, London is undoubtedly modern and international, but this huge city will not make you feel mechanically cold.
It is diverse, inclusive, full of vitality and full of color. The double-decker buses passing by in the street are bright red, Hyde Park is pleasant green, the Tower of London is elegant gray, and the London eye lit up at night is dazzling neon of indigo and purple.
When you board the London Eye, you will see the softest Thames, which is strewn at random adjacent to the most charming London skyline, old buildings and new landmarks, like a bookmark full of stories, allowing you to catch a glimpse of the Power of Life that is worth reading for a long time.
Museums, opera houses, humanities colleges, shopping paradise.
Whatever you want, you can find it here.
There is also the retro flavor and British style in the bones, which is a classic label that has not changed in this city for thousands of years.
Walking on the streets of London and feeling its sunshine and continuous rain and fog, we may be able to taste the classic saying of the English poet samuel johnson, "If you are tired of London, you are tired of life".
Famous attractions: British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Tower Bridge in London.

Together with cultural activities such as Edinburgh International Arts Festival, Edinburgh has become the second largest tourist city after London.
Edinburgh, a city with ups and downs, is worth exploring. The old city is full of crypts and alleys, which is very interesting. Perhaps the corner suddenly shows wonders, and the city is full of mystery and unpredictability.
Looking at the blue sea from the heights, the shadows on the mountains are blurred, and there are many pubs in the city. It is not hard to imagine that this is the birthplace of Harry Potter!

Afternoon tea is an indispensable part of York's life. In the city center where almost all tourist attractions and shopping shops are gathered, teahouses are the most. At noon, there is a long queue in front of the famous teahouse, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of tea time.
On the other hand, whenever night falls, a large number of bars in York (some people say that bars in York can be visited once a day and not repeated once a year) will become active, which shows the activity and prosperity of British public culture.
In addition, as a famous "ghost town" in Europe, the night in York is full of magical colors.
