British tourism introduces English! ! Who can help me? Give me a small sum of money! !

This has always been a great country. From the Celtic tribe about 3000 years ago to the Roman colonial rule in 42 AD, Britain has one of the most interesting and colorful history in the world. The colorful life in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland makes every visit a new unforgettable experience.

Population: 59 million

Area: 94,500 square miles

Electricity: 220v/50hz (many hotels have 1 10 plugs for American razors).

Geography: Except the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the country is surrounded by water. This country is as diverse as its weather, which is mainly due to its geographical position. Northern Scotland is mountainous and southern Scotland is plain. The rest of northern England is hilly and flat. Apart from the coastline, Wales is almost entirely mountainous.

international airport

London-Heathrow (LHR) Airport is about 16 miles from West End of London. It takes about 45 minutes by taxi or subway. The new train at Paddington Station takes only 15 minutes and runs every 20 minutes, connecting Terminal 3 and Terminal 4. There are many buses and taxis. There are bus services from Heathrow airport to most major centers in the country, including railway connection points.

London-Gatwick Airport (LGW)- The airport is about 25 miles from the center of London, mainly connected by train, which takes about 35 minutes. Trains run every 20 minutes during the day. Bus service is slow, not recommended. Taking a taxi far from London is slow and expensive. At the end of the journey at Victoria Station, there are many taxis waiting for the passengers who got off the Gatwick train, and there is a complete transportation system in London.

Birmingham-Birmingham International Airport (BHX)-This is a very well-laid airport, next to Birmingham Exhibition Center. The train service in the city center is very frequent, and some bus services are interrupted. There are many taxis. There are train services from the airport to all parts of Britain. Travel time by train is about 12 minutes.

Manchester-Manchester International Airport (MAN-The airport is about 15 miles away from the city, and it is the easiest to get there by train, which runs about every 20 minutes during the day. Provide bus and taxi services.

Glasgow-Glasgow Airport (GLA)-The airport is about 12 miles from downtown. Provide bus and taxi services.

Edinburgh-Edinburgh Airport (EDI)-The airport is about 8 miles from the city center. Provide taxi and bus services.

Tip: In restaurants, a service charge is usually added to the bill, and the total amount is 10%. If you don't see this on the bill, leave a tip. Otherwise, leave the change.

Shopping: Shops and shops are open from 9 am to 5: 30 pm every day, except Sunday. This is a country of antiques. They are everywhere. Wool and linen are quite good, as well as Wedgwood, royal doulton porcelain and porcelain. Clothing is also very good, there are a lot of Harris tweed and all kinds of cotton and silk.

Food and drink: Britain is the crossroads of the Commonwealth, so you can eat every kind of food you can think of here-especially in London. Pudding in England and Wales and various Scottish specialties in the north are very interesting. Bars are the focus of the community and a cheap food source. The drinks here are not limited to alcoholic drinks, but all kinds of family-oriented drinks.

Socialization: The British are not old-fashioned, but a reflection of their history. Most people are very down-to-earth, very attractive and willing to help travelers along the way. If so, they will want to find more "colonies" in their conversation with you. You will also find that English, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish are very different peoples, just like in different parts of North America.

Business: Great changes have taken place in business culture. Position is no longer a deep-rooted social concept, but a new term called "elite management", which has completely changed British social, political and economic ethics. This has been greatly reflected in business affairs. Three-piece suits, umbrellas and bowler hats have disappeared, replaced by fashionable people who are smart, energetic and knowledgeable in their respective fields. Business appointments and business cards are essential.

Bank: Banks are usually open from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. Some branches are open on Saturdays.

Currency: GBP

Currency exchange: this is easy to do anywhere, but it should be noted that traveler's checks are not easily accepted unless they are pounds. The best place to exchange money is the bank. Be very careful when changing money at the small exchange booth. You may get a very good exchange rate, but you are hit by a very high commission or service fee or no commission and a very low exchange rate or the worst low exchange rate and high commission. Banks are the best.

Credit cards: Visa, Master Card, American Express and Diners Club are well known.

The climate of this country is diverse, from subtropical climate in southwest to cold and rainy climate in northwest Scotland. This country has its own rain, and it will rain at any time. The northwest of Scotland is the wettest part of the country. The southeast is sunny and usually has the most sunshine. The southwest is the mildest.

Destination: England

In the north of England, you will find lakes and mountains, castles, striking coastlines and magnificent national parks, as well as medieval York City, lively Blackpool and Manchester, which is famous for its football.

Traveling to the south, you will see milder scenery; Quiet country roads and inland waterways, sparkling marshes on the east coast, as well as Shakespeare's birthplace and Cambridge University City Stratford.

Going further south, London and the region have splendid gardens, ancient houses and solemn homes. At the same time, the southern coast enjoys an enviable reputation for its beaches and resorts, historical market towns, and charming cathedral cities Winchester and Salisbury near Stonehenge.

In the southwest of London, the western countryside can surf on the rugged Cornwall coast, the picturesque thatched cottage village in Cotswolds, the cider in Somerset and the delicious Devon milk tea.

Destination: East England

There are so many places to go and so many things to see in the east of England that you will find it difficult to accommodate them all. Every county in this area has its own unique characteristics. All these counties have a lot of places to explore and a lot of treasures to discover. Step into the east of England, and you will step into a subtly different world. Because of the flat terrain, the vast sky arches this area, and under this sky, people's senses have been improved to some extent.

This is your favorite England-a perfect combination of soft and gentle countryside, ancient cities, magnificent houses and gardens, charming towns, fairy-tale villages, beaches with preserved birds and old-fashioned seaside entertainment. All these have special additives-the east of England is very unique-a very strange personality. In Stilton, Cambridgeshire, they roll cheese along the street. In Grimston, Norfolk, people race snails on the cricket ground to win prizes. In Great Dunmow, Essex, they had a mock trial, which was completed by a confused judge, to find a couple who had "not quarreled in the past 12 months and one day". Pleasant difference!

There are ghosts everywhere in this area. In Blickling Hall in Norfolk, not only headless riders, but also horses, and poor Ann Boleyn, who put her head on her knees. There is a ghost skater and a ghost wheel in Norfolk. In Dunwich, Suffolk, now submerged in the waves, you can hear the church bells of a huge and prosperous town.

In the eccentric East, farce is the most popular. From the huge rotunda of Ickworth House in the18th century to the houses on the clouds on the Suffolk coast, you will find houses of various shapes and sizes-a former water tower has been transformed into a unique holiday house. In addition, there are other strange places-such as Tudor Dove Lodge in Hugh, Wellington, Bedfordshire, where there are the remains of the Viking port down the river. If you are really confused, try to solve the ancient earth maze of Saffron Walden in Essex. Or how they built a math bridge in Cambridge without nails.

Destination: the heart of England

Like other places in England, the heart of England is a fascinating individual, but the added benefit is that the heart of England is the hub of the British road network, so it is very easy to explore every point of it! You don't have to fly to London, because Birmingham International Airport is in the center of the area. Birmingham can now provide world-class cultural landscape, first-class shopping places, top attractions, wonderful nightlife, major international events and exhibitions.

Spend some time in the Cotswolds and see many honey-colored villages. The pottery in Staffordshire in the north of the area is juxtaposed with the little-known parts of Shakespeare's Stratford and nearby Warwickshire. Black County is nearby. You will find a rich combination of art, handicrafts, tradition and culture when you visit here. Modern architectural design is located next to Victorian villages.

Choose from rural tranquility, city sightseeing and exciting coastline, and have a variety of rest.

There are dozens of gardens to visit in the southeast, which are full of unforgettable fun, from the world-famous Sissinghurst in Kent and the romantic Nymans in West Sussex, or Cliveden overlooking the Thames near Maidenhead to Savill Garden in Windsor Park or exotic Leonardslee near horsham.

History has left magnificent buildings of all ages, the Roman Palace in Fishburn near chichester, the art and cultural city, Canterbury Cathedral in the12nd century and spectacular castles, such as Leeds Castle or Windsor Castle in Kent, the official residence of Her Majesty the Queen.

This part of England is an ideal place for walking, which is a special part of a country trip and can make you go home easily and happily. Go to Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, which is famous for its golden charm, or take a stroll in the north and south hills or Surrey Mountain.

You will never be far from the coast and its related marine heritage. Chatham Historic Shipyard near Rochester has a maritime history of 400 years, and Portsmouth is home to Henry VIII's ship Mary Rose, Admiral Lord Nelson's HMS Victory and HMS Warrior.

So close to London, this historical and heritage, coastal and rural area is waiting for your discovery!

Scotland's big cities call you to explore. In Edinburgh, the capital, the "Royal Mile" paved with cobblestones runs from the towering castle to the Palace of Hollywood. The highlight of the year is in August, when the city holds an annual international festival, military tattoos light up the castle square. Glasgow is the fashion capital of Scotland. Attractions such as lighthouse, Burrell collection and modern art gallery reflect Glasgow people's passion for art. When the sun fades, there is a pleasure of good malt whisky-300 kinds of whisky are distilled in Scotland. Follow the only "malt whisky road" in the world, have a drink or two in Speedside, or go to Ailai to taste "peat" malt, such as Laphroaig or Lagavulin.

Scotland is closer than you think-it only takes more than four hours by train from London to Edinburgh, and there are frequent express flights to its major cities. There are nearly 800 islands (130 inhabited) in this country, most of which can be reached by ferry. Popular tourist attractions include Iona Island and its ancient monastery, and Skye Island, a romantic refuge in Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Are you interested in studying your Scottish ancestors? There is nothing better than experiencing the place where they live and work. Come and follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and take the first step on their journey to Scotland.

There are more than 540 golf courses to choose from in Scotland, including world-famous championship golf courses, such as the old courses St Andrews, Royal Tron, Canosti, Moorfield, Ternberg and Gleneagles.
