Famous American tourist attractions-White House

In the past, the White House was not white, nor was it called the White House, but was called the "Presidential Mansion" and "Presidential Palace". When it was built in 1792, it was a gray sandstone building. Since 1800, it has been the place where American presidents worked and lived with their families during their term of office. But in the second American-British war in 1812, British troops invaded Washington. On August 24, 1814, the British army burned the building, leaving only an empty shelf. When it was rebuilt in 1817, President Monroe ordered the gray sandstone to be painted with a layer of white paint to cover up the traces of the fire. Since then, this presidential residence has been called the "White House". In 1902, US President theodore roosevelt officially named it "White House", which later became synonymous with the US government.

The White House is the seat of the presidential palace of the United States. For people, the White House is always full of mystery. According to the principle that the expenses of the White House are borne by all taxpayers, a part of the White House is open to citizens all over the world within the specified time, so it has become a hot spot for tourists to visit.

In addition, the Russian parliament building is also known as the White House.

A famous American tourist attraction-Los Angeles Disney

Disneyland is one of Walt Disney's great achievements. He started with his own creativity and made his way to the world by himself at the age of 22. At that time, the film was still in the black-and-white silent stage, and his debut was the black-and-white silent short film "Alice Comedies" co-performed by real people and animation in 1923. At that time, Disney shot many popular animated films. For example, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Pinocchio" and "Cinderella" have become more popular with cartoon stars such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

In 1908, Hollywood produced one of the earliest feature films, The Revenge of Kiddo Mountain. Since 1912, production companies have been established one after another, and by 1928, a lineup of film companies headed by Paramount and other "eight major film companies" has been formed. The 1930s and 1940s were the heyday of Hollywood, which produced a large number of excellent films that became masterpieces in the history of film, and made the influence of American films spread all over the world. At the same time, Hollywood has also developed into a cultural center in the United States, where many writers, musicians, movie stars and others gather. After World War II, studios moved out one after another, and many filming facilities were idle or changed hands with TV producers. In the early 1960s, Hollywood became the main production base of American TV programs.

The studio is divided into three areas, namely, Stone Tram Tour, Studio Center and Entertainment Center. You can get a tour guide and performance schedule from the service center next to the ticket office. There is a 50' s style shopping area-Cosmos City next to the entrance and exit of the cinema, which is a good pedestrian area. Don't forget to go shopping after sightseeing.

Since then, the face of the Grand Canyon has gradually become known to the world. In 1919, President Wilson approved it as a national park with a total area of more than 1,100 square kilometers.

The formation of the Grand Canyon took a long time. For tens of millions of years or even tens of millions of years, the torrent of the Colorado River has been washing it away, carving a huge horizontal ditch on a plateau and giving it a bizarre shape. Today, the Colorado River has flowed to other directions, but people standing on the precipice can still imagine the magnificent scene of huge waves emptying and roaring in the deep valley. On both sides of the Grand Canyon are red giant rock faults, and the rock formations are rugged, which can be called uncanny workmanship. The narrowest part of this canyon in the park is about 6 kilometers and the widest part is 29 kilometers. Two cypresses are stacked on top of each other, with a bottomless valley between them. It's a perfect match, and it's incomparably vigorous and magnificent.

What is even more strange is that although the soil here is mostly brown, when it is bathed in the sun, it is confusing and changeable, sometimes it is purple, sometimes it is dark blue, sometimes it is brown, and sometimes it is red, all depending on the strength of the sun's light. At this time, the Grand Canyon is like a fairyland, colorful, vast and psychedelic, and the charming scenery is unforgettable. There are several famous scenic spots in the Grand Canyon. They are "Window of Angels", "Royal Valley", "Imperial Observatory" and "Valley of Bright Angels". Anyone who has been lucky enough to visit the Grand Canyon can't help but admire it. The Grand Canyon is indeed a great miracle on earth. Its color and structure, especially its imposing manner, can't be simulated by any sculptor or painter.
