The British Railway Museum is located on the east side of the train station, free of charge and open from 10am to 6pm.
The UK is the birthplace of trains, and of course there needs to be a big museum to show off its history.
Inside are the world's largest steam-powered locomotives, the cars that Victoria has sat in, the Eurostar, the Japanese Shinkansen, and the Chinese old-fashioned trains that the Chinese government has paid for and made in Britain, which are very dark and spectacular.
The ancient Roman city wall, after the museum came out, the net went straight to the left, through the cave, and then returned to the train station, and then kept walking
You can see the walls of York. The city walls are long and arguably of British history and are the main tourist attraction in York. (Of course, it is incomparable with the great Great Wall of the Heavenly Dynasty, but this wall is small and fits well with the city, and standing on it feels like it is integrated with history and current life.) This is the only remaining medieval wall, built by the Romans. When I came to York last year, the perimeter of the city wall was not surrounded by railings, and this year I found that there were white railings, which were quite integrated and did not affect the appearance of the city.
Walk along the city wall, while feeling the vehicles passing under your feet, about 3 minutes to the Wusi River, ready to cross the bridge, of course, after crossing the bridge there is a staircase down to take a cruise ship.
York Minster. Walk along the bridge and walk for a few minutes to see the cathedral. This is the largest medieval Gothic church in Europe, one of the most exquisitely designed and architectural churches in the world, and the best church in England anyway. There is also a whole piece of stained glass in the southeast of the church, which is the size of a tennis court and is the largest medieval stained glass window in the world. And the hall here is the filming location of The Hogwarts Hall in Harry Potter. There are also 276 stairs in the church, which can reach the top of the building and overlook the whole city.
The best tea shop in the UK. Coming out of the church and looking in the direction of the train station, there is a red house, and this red house is directly opposite the road, and it is all the way in, and it is there! Wait in line, but the wait will not be long, and it is worth a small wait. Address: betty 's 6-8 st. helen's square ZIP Code: yo1 8qp Phone: 01904659142 order a traditional afternoon tea set here that includes local York tea. Around 16 pounds. It can also be tasted by two people.
There's also a little betty's next door,
It's all the same, there's very little queuing up over there.
After eating, we began to walk around the city center, the most famous and oldest: butcher street shambles. This street is diagonal alley inside Harry Potter!!! In the past, this street was to buy meat, afraid of meat damage, so put the meat on the windowsill, and the interval between the houses is very small, close enough to shake hands with the opposite person on the 2nd floor. Now the shops on this street are selling all kinds of emotional little things, gadgets, small ideas. There are many such shops nearby, and each small shop goes in to take a look and there are definitely surprises.
This street is not long,
Paved with small stones, it is typical of the ancient streets and alleys of England. After walking to the bottom, turn right and there is a street with a strange name called whip-ma-whop-ma-gate, which is said to be the longest-named but shortest street in York. There is also an open-air market nearby, so you can visit the British wet market. The streets that cross back and forth in the vicinity are all strange and beautiful small shops or restaurants. This is the city center.
York is also a famous ghost town, if there are bold people who live in York at night, you can go and play ghost hunting games. At night, tourists will gather and wait for the appearance of the ghost person, and they will know that it is a ghost person at a glance. Then follow the ghost people, then play as you please, and there is a ghost hunt of york that starts at 8 o'clock and starts on foot from the king's arms bar next to the ouse bridge.
York's magic is unmatched by other British cities. Outstanding architecture and two thousand years of history blend with thriving shopping streets and award-winning attractions. With more than thirty museums, galleries and a variety of tourist routes, the small city centre is not boring at any time of the year.
Visitors can enjoy a first-class shopping experience in the Central Avenue shops, traditional gift shops and independent boutiques, while fashion-conscious shoppers can head straight to the new designer discount stores on the outskirts of the city.
The numerous restaurants serve traditional British cuisine and fine international cuisine. It is said that in York you can go to a different pub or bar every night of the year. Exciting events and festivals run throughout the year, and the hospitality of Yorkshire is reflected in a variety of styles and grades of accommodation, making York the ideal location for a short break.
Pass by the River Urs, which crosses York and is one of the most important rivers in north-central England.
"The ancient city of York is known as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, the ancient city is surrounded by five kilometers of walls, and tourists visiting in the spring (the so-called spring of the British is three to eight degrees Celsius) are often amazed by the golden daffodils blooming by the medieval walls, and the breeze blows, and the daffodils and seas of daffodils frequently nod their heads, as if respectfully greeting the elders, facing this shot, you must not forget in this life. The beauty of York is not only here, walking on the top of the city wall trail is a great pleasure of life, York's elegant and exquisite lifestyle can be seen from the south of the city, looking at the two rivers flowing through York, the river ouse and the river foss, the babbling water tells the long history, York also started by the port. ”
The English novelist Daniel defore wrote in his 1724 book: "Burning, besieging, plundering and ravaging, as fate has it, these dramas are often staged in York, so you wonder what else is left in the city for future generations?"
In fact, because york's glory and history can be seen everywhere in the city, it is a medieval city, built on the remains of the Romans. The Danish street names remind us that there was once a viking glory era; the behemoth, the minster, the epicenter of the great spiritual capital of the Church dating back 1,300 years, stands slightly north of the center of the capital; ornate and majestic Jacobean & Georgian architecture, wordlessly stating a period of singing and dancing Coupled with the renewal and protection of York by modern People, it is extremely pleasing to visit York.
The northern capital of the British Empire, the second city in the history of the United Kingdom, is called York. When New York, the largest metropolis in the United States, was becoming internationally famous, most of the descendants of Yan Huang knew New York and never heard of York.
Originally, according to the meaning, New York is the meaning of "new york", the pioneers who opened up New York Harbor are mostly from York, England, and the development of New York today makes people lament that "The descendants of York have achieved far-reaching ancestors", and they do not know that their ancestors are also "good".
Because the history of York is the history of England.
In 71 AD, when the Ninth Army of Roman infantry advanced to the north of the British Isles, it was resisted by the Aborigines near York, so they garrisoned Lincoln and built a cottage. Later, people lived here in groups, calling the town "eboracum", and its geographical location was particularly advantageous, located in a triangular treasure land, flanked by rivers: the ouse and foss rivers, and on one side was the airtight "Gautes" forest.
The four characters of Epolacan are important to the Italians because in 306 AD, Emperor Constantine passed away here, and his son succeeded to the military command, where he ascended the throne as Roman Emperor, known as constantine the great, who later founded Constantinople in Turkey. In 410 AD, when the Roman imperial city was in a tight military situation, the Roman army completely withdrew and returned to Italy. The Anglo-Saxons renamed Ebolakan eoforwic.
However, York's name comes from the Vikings
(the vikings), in 866 AD, the Vikings finally captured the city, and the iron blood brutally ruled the area, naming it jorvik, using its geographical advantage to form a scan
Outside of Dunavia, the most important northern European trade center. The population of the city exceeded 10,000 people at that time, and for the next 50 years, the Danish king made Javik's governance flourish.
Before the "William The Conqueror" attacked Javik and burned and plundered, York's appearance can be described as incomparably good, and the beauty and prosperity of York can be compared to the great city of Rome. But the scourge of the Germans, 30 years after the fact, there are still books describing "William's rakes ravaging the north beyond people's imagination, and york and outside the city have become garbage." In the face of viking raids from time to time, William the Great built two castles in York, one in Bell Hill and the other at clifford tower, garrisoning three thousand troops, and York, which had undergone a fierce test, still did not break away from the fate of becoming a historic city." ”
