Introduction of York tourist attractions in Britain

Where is York? Are there any interesting attractions?

It is said that understanding a city begins with a museum, which is actually a materialized development history. People overlook the historical situation through the dialogue between cultural relics and history and the barrier of time and space.

So, today I will focus on some museums in York. But before that, I need to introduce a charity in York-York Museum Trust.

York useum rust (hereinafter referred to as YMT) was established on August 1 day, 2002. It is an independent charitable trust fund, which is responsible for managing museums and galleries previously managed by the York city government.

Including York Art Museum, York Castle Museum, York Museum, Museum Garden and St. Mary's Church in York, it has also developed some commercial activities, such as ceramic art center and York venue.

YMT recruits nearly 300 volunteers every year, and friends who are interested in history, cultural relics and museums can pay attention to its official website.

Although YMT's volunteer program is temporarily closed, Bian Xiao believes that as long as the epidemic situation in Britain is stable, the volunteer program will be reopened soon.

Below, first of all, I will focus on several museums operated by YMT:

Ask for short stories or legends about British tourist attractions

York, the northern capital of Britain, was built by the Romans and has a history of more than two thousand years. In July1year, the Romans built a fortress to defend against foreign enemies, named Abramoff, which gradually expanded into the most important administrative and military town in northern England. 100 years later, the Romans retreated, and after Saxon rule, York was taken over by foreign vikings. York's current name was changed by Viking Ciovica. There are many legends about ghosts here because of its long history and many old houses. York has an interesting game: every night when it is dark, tourists wait for the ghost seeker dressed in black to appear at the meeting place, and then under his guidance, they visit the legendary haunted places in the ancient city and tell a few scary ghost stories. If you want to relax, you can choose to take a boat trip on the Wu Si River, which runs through the city center and the tourist attractions are scattered in the old city on the north side of Wu Si. There are many outstanding buildings here. York Minster is the largest Gothic cathedral in Britain, which took 250 years to complete and is a landmark of York. Visitors can also see the remains of the Millennium Fortress in Rome and the famous medieval fortifications in York. There are more than 30 museums, galleries and various tourist routes in the center of York, and teahouses and bars can be seen everywhere. The city is surrounded by medieval walls, and the wooden houses on the roadside are well preserved, full of ancient customs, filled with the breath of Roman times and the Middle Ages. Classical architecture, well-preserved medieval streets, and various historical and cultural relics during Roman, Saxon and Viking rule, nostalgic and quaint York witnessed the history of Britain. Here are some short stories about attractions in London. Please have a look. I hope it is useful to you.

Britain: Looking at York through History

If you travel to England, you can say that you have never been to York, just as you have never been to England. I compare it to Xi in China and Toledo in Spain.

As early as the British Meng Kai era, it was the Romans who brought them the basic concept of the country. In 7 1 A.D., the Ninth Roman Army, which was in charge of frontier expansion, was stationed on the banks of the Osi River for the first time, and was awarded the status of York as a reclamation area, which gradually developed into the capital of the inland provinces of England and could compete with London politically.

Hadrian, the Roman emperor who once built the Great Wall of England, used York as a base to resist the invasion of Scottish barbarians. The successor Emperor Severus directly declared York as a city.

By 306 AD, Constantine the Great was founded by his father's army in York, becoming the only Roman emperor to be crowned outside Rome.

Unfortunately, the Romans came to Great Britain more for the gilded journey of power. When they felt that this decoration was no longer needed, they began to evacuate in 399 AD.

Now you can climb the Roman wall from the crib named Bar, which is the most complete five-kilometer ring wall in Britain, and get a glimpse of the old town of York.

You can also drill into the newly discovered underground waterway of ancient Rome and hold your breath to explore the urban drainage system built two thousand years ago. Of course, it can lead to another abandoned castle left by ancient Rome-the Blessing Tower.

After thousands of years of traces of ancient Rome, York can take refuge for Jews and become one of the most famous tourist attractions in the second Millennium York.

The chaos of the governor after the disappearance of the Romans divided England into seven countries. Among them, Edwin, king of Northumbria, issued an invitation to dominate in York, and the Anglo-Saxons officially entered Great Britain to help seize power. However, the good times are fleeting and York, as the capital of England, is only a flash in the pan.

Fortunately, it is a nostalgia for that era. York built the prototype of the famous cathedral, and was also authorized by the bishop second only to Canterbury parish.

In 865 AD, the Viking boss was executed by King Northumbria's snake pit, and his son spent a year pacifying northern England to avenge his father. York was also occupied and renamed Yorvik.

This is how the name of York evolved today. More than a hundred years later, William unified England after the Norman conquest, and York was greatly damaged in the counter-revolutionary movement. Now I see that the ruins of churches around York are mostly the products of this period. York can only abandon politics and go into business and slowly repair its health by wool business.

The day of turning over again has come to the era of Edward VII. As the capital of northern England, York has always been valued by the royal family. In order to control its dominance, the king of England began to make his eldest son Prince of Wales from Edward III.

Wales is the first small country conquered by England, and the eldest son represents the king who can be good at fighting and expand the territory, and will certainly inherit the throne in the future. The second son will be named Duke of York, requiring him to be virtuous, educated, able to negotiate and help govern the country. This system has not changed so far. Interestingly, the descendants of the Duke of York are almost all daughters.

Although Great Britain was unified in the era of Edward VII and reached the climax of the Anjou Dynasty, it finally entered the garbage age in which vassals constantly competed for the throne.

1455, the Duke of York and the Duke of Lancaster officially opened on behalf of the two families, with white roses as the symbol of York and red roses as the symbol of Lancaster. Thirty years later, wars of the roses finally lost both sides, and the victory was won by henry vii, a distant relative of house of lancaster.

However, he married Princess York as the queen, which officially opened the Tudor dynasty in modern British history, and the national flower of Britain was identified as a rose from that time.

The development of York in the next generations is not surprising. People may remember that Britain launched three wars against the Netherlands in order to gain the hegemony of maritime trade. Although the Netherlands has developed into a sea coachman in the17th century, in the end, after all, it can't compete with the joint calculation of Britain and France, so it can only sign an agreement to cede the largest overseas colony called New Amsterdam and admit defeat.

King charles ii of England gave this land to his younger brother, the Duke of York, and of course the Duke of York will change his name, which is today's new york.

In the long river of British history, York has experienced many ups and downs. There is the precipitation of ancient Rome, the glory of the Middle Ages, the coldness of Henry VIII and the love of Elizabeth. No wonder King George VI's evaluation of York history is such a highly summarized classic sentence in English history.

Now, new york has changed from a railway center and a manufacturing center during the industrial revolution to a city that relies on education and tourism development. As the largest county in Britain, it attracts tourists from all over the world with its unique medieval style.
