I joined a guided tour of the British Museum today, and it was truly rewarding! I was especially happy that they offered a Cantonese explanation, which felt particularly welcoming. The whole process not only increased my knowledge but was also very interesting. The guide was professional and engaging, taking us from ancient Egypt to Assyrian civilization, then to Greek mythology and Chinese Buddhist statues, explaining the historical stories behind the exhibits as we went. Pieces like the Greek stone lion, the realistic Liao Dynasty Luohan statue, the majestic Assyrian guardian deities, and the spiritually infused Egyptian cat statues, all came to life under the teacher's explanation. History became vivid, no longer just cold relics. I am very satisfied with teacher Agnes and sincerely recommend her! If you come to the British Museum, I highly suggest booking a tour and following teacher Agnes's guidance. It will definitely provide a better experience than wandering around blindly on your own.

This small group tour was fantastic. There were four of us, and our guide, Xiaozhang, is a museum studies student at UCL. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the historical artifacts, explaining everything in a professional and insightful manner. We really appreciate his company for those two and a half hours!

I spent 3 days visiting Bath, Stonehenge, Winchester, Oxford, and Cambridge. You need to register the date of use before using it, and there is one QR code per day. After registration, you can use the code to enter the gate. During the trip, I encountered train delays or cancellations many times. Fortunately, I bought a pass, so I could immediately change my destination or transfer to other trains.

This should be a must-see attraction, mainly because you can see a panoramic view of London from above. Be sure to avoid the crowds to get a good view.

Great to take the baby around for the first time with his Arsenal-loving dad! As not the biggest football fan, was good for me too, loved all the history and info on the family-oriented club and how it’s evolved while staying true to its roots! Also so amazing to have such great chat about the ladies team and their history too!
