๐บ๐ธ First Glimpse of Washington DC
It was our first day in DC, and while still adjusting to the jet lag, we didnโt want to venture too far. So, we decided to take a relaxing City Walk along DCโs iconic National Mall! ๐ฉ U.S. Capitol Building ๐ Highlight: The seat of the United States Congress, situated atop Capitol Hill. It is not only a symbol of American politics but also a witness to history. ๐ฉ Lincoln Memorial ๐ Highlight: Built in honor of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. The pristine white marble and granite inspire deep respect. From here, you can enjoy a stunning view of the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building. ๐ฉ Washington Monument ๐ Highlight: This 169-meter marble obelisk commemorates George Washington, the first President of the United States. Inside, there are 50 flights of stairs and a high-speed elevator that takes you to the top for a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. ๐ฉ The White House ๐ Highlight: The official residence and workplace of the President of the United States, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Although visitors canโt enter, you can still feel the significance of this historic place from outside the fence. #HalfDayTour #TravelDiaries #DC #WashingtonDC #NationalMallWalk #CapitolBuilding #CapitolHill #LincolnMemorial #WashingtonMonument #WhiteHouse ๐บ๐ธโจ
