Because of its importance in the development of world trade system and terminal technology, it was called Liverpool Maritime Commercial City. The architectural styles of Liverpool are quite diverse, ranging from Tudor style in the16th century to contemporary architecture. Most of the buildings in this city were built in the heyday of the British Empire after the late18th century. There are more than 2,500 registered buildings in Liverpool, of which 27 are first-class registered buildings and 85 are second-class registered buildings, the number of which is second only to London. The number of public sculptures in this city is second only to the city of Westminster in England, and the number of buildings in the George Dynasty is second only to Bath in England. The commercial and cultural areas of Liverpool are mainly concentrated in the city center and near the port and pier.

Among them, the business districts are concentrated around Castle Street, Dell Street and Old Hall Street, and many roads in this area still follow the medieval model. The development history of this area is over three centuries, and it is considered as one of the most important architectural sites in this city. The oldest building in this area is the first-class registered building Liverpool City Hall, which is located at the end of Castle Street and can be traced back to 1754. It is considered as one of the most luxurious municipal buildings in Britain. The first-level login building, Bank of England Building, is also located in Castle Street, and is built between 1845 and 1848. This is one of the only three provincial branches of the bank. Other famous buildings in this area include towers, Albion House (the former headquarters of White Star Shipping Company) and municipal buildings. Oriel Chambers is considered as one of the earliest modern style buildings.

As the home of two Premier League clubs, Liverpool Football Club and Everton Football Club, and other English clubs, Liverpool has always been regarded as the city of football. Among them, the four-star stadium of the European Football Federation is also the home of Liverpool Football Club-Anfield Stadium is naturally the first choice for fans to make a pilgrimage. Anfield Stadium was built in 1882. This used to be the home of Everton Club. Everton separated from here at 1892 and set up another stadium in Goodison Park because of the differences among the top management. Anfield became the home of Liverpool. 1892 In May, Liverpool Club was established. On September 1 Sunday, the Red Army played its first game at Anfield. Since then, it has become the home of Liverpool, with 45,362 spectator seats, and now it is the sixth largest in England.

Goodison park

Goodison Park, Everton's home stadium, is one of the oldest stadiums in England, with a seating capacity of 40,569 spectators. It is the first stadium in Britain with double stands on all sides and the first stadium in the league to use underground heating system. Goodison Park Stadium is unique not because it is the first dedicated football field in the world, but because of its lawn. The lawn of Goodison Park Stadium is placed on a huge slate, and the names of countless people are engraved on the cross section of the prominent slate. Only the names of traditional veteran fans are eligible to be engraved on the cross section of the lawn. For example, a fan family has rented a box in the stands of a stadium for generations. Every game, fans must reserve a certain position in the stands ... Goodison Park Stadium is like a hall of fame, recording the history of their loyal fans. Some sponsors proposed to replace Everton's lawn, and some sponsors proposed to rebuild the stadium for them. Just to buy the naming rights of a stadium. But these vital interests were rejected by Everton people. Because there is still an amazing secret hidden under the lawn of the stadium-the ashes of many dead diehard fans are scattered under the lawn of Goodison Park Stadium. It can be said that this is the cemetery of the older generation of Everton fans. Once the stadium is moved, according to China people, it is to dig someone's ancestral grave. Then who will be the descendants of the older generation of fans? What's the use of a magnificent and advanced stadium without anyone joining us? Liverpool is famous for having two outstanding cathedrals. The Anglican Liverpool Cathedral, built from 1904 to 1978, is the largest church in Britain and the fifth cathedral in the world.
