Do not miss visiting the US capitol. The building is amazing and the history it tells is a must do when visiting Washington DC. You can do a free tour where a guide is telling you a lot of facts about the building, the people who worked here and the ones who still work here. You can experience the history of the government of the United States here better then any where else.Secret tip: visit the capitol when the sun is down for a walk around the capitol garden.

白宫就是一大白房子，草坪绿得扎眼。铁栅栏外挤满拍照的，有导游举小旗嚷嚷，游客伸长脖子够着看。有个小孩骑在爸爸肩上，指着窗户说看见人了，其实啥也没有。绕着走半圈，后院那几棵大树看着比楼还老。路对面有个老头举个牌子站着，没人理他。待了十分钟，太阳晒得脖子疼，转身走了。回头望一眼，那楼安安静静蹲在草坪里，跟明信片上一样。

国家广场就是一大片草地，中间那条石子路走起来咯吱响。纪念碑在远处戳着，林肯堂在另一头蹲着。跑者喘着气从身边过，小孩追着鸽子跑。找个长椅坐下啃三明治，风把面包屑吹走。隔几步就有个博物馆，红砖灰墙排一排，也没心思全逛完。太阳快落山时，草坪上坐满人，看着天色一点点暗下去。

The Lincoln Memorial is an iconic symbol of American history and a place of profound significance. Its majestic architecture, featuring the towering statue of Abraham Lincoln, commands respect and admiration. The solemnity of the Reflecting Pool, set against the backdrop of the Washington Monument and the Capitol, creates a breathtaking vista. Visitors are immersed in the spirit of freedom, equality, and unity, making it a must-visit destination. The memorial's role in commemorating one of America's greatest leaders and his enduring message of liberty and justice for all is truly inspiring.

i had the privilege of visiting the US Capitol in Washington DC back in 2019. the tour took us through the rotunda and crypt, as well as a history of the building. definitely highly recommended for anyone who visits DC!

My first Smithsonian experience. Two floors filled with various sections covering all about planes and space travel in the 20th century.

One of the most beautiful Natural History Museum. There are a lot to see.

建于1800年的国会图书馆（The Library of Congress），是世界上藏书量最大的图书馆（藏品超过1.62亿件），它把“知识”两个字，用大理石、黄金、彩绘玻璃和最深沉的历史底蕴，雕琢成了一件震撼人心的艺术品。我被深深震撼到了，真是一场视觉的盛宴啊！

It is a very pleasant experience to spend a couple of hours in this gallery. In fact, it’s not enough to visit it once (given the size of it, and it’s always free to visit!). I particularly enjoyed looking at the architecture of the newer part of this gallery (see photos). Also, the vibe is really good and perhaps it has something to do with the abundance of natural sunlight. Definitely recommended to plan a visit to this place!

This is a small memorial inside but packed with interesting items. Displays are rotated so you may see something new to you each time you go
