Cardiff has a pleasant climate because it is close to the sea. Of course, as an English city, it will rain, but it is also true that it is not too cold in winter. The last snow in Kacun was five years ago. Although there is a lot of rain, compared with England, there is almost no flood. Umbrella is basically useless for the demon wind in Kacun, but there is a small shop in Cardiff market that specializes in selling umbrellas. There are wind-resistant ones inside. It's a little long, but it's more durable. It often rains in Kacun 10 minute, and the sun 10 minute. Sometimes the sun is poisonous, especially in summer. You may get sunburned without sunscreen or with sunscreen.

In addition to Cardiff market in the city center, there is also a flea market near our home, which sells all kinds of old things or collectibles, from table lamps to guitars, as well as all kinds of furniture accessories and books, audio and video products, which are not quite the same as ordinary antique shops. This market is also on the Cardiff City event page.

As the capital, there are still many cultural, entertainment and leisure projects, such as the float parade on St. David's Day, food &; Drinking Festival. Of course, there are Christmas lights in other places, such as winter wonderland and Christmas market. If you come, you must buy a wurst in winter, which is very delicious. If you go to the Christmas market on the day when the lights are on, you can also see many street performers' performances, and occasionally you can see them in the high street.

The picture below comes from last year's Rugby World Cup. Because Cardiff is the co-host city, a football was built on the wall of the castle, which made many people turn it over ~

I'm ashamed to say, Cardiff Castle, because of the fare of 8 pounds, I haven't been in for n times. Instead, I went to the surrounding castles, especially Caffeili, where there used to be a cheese festival, but most of them sold other things, and various animal protection organizations raised money. There will be an ancient duel performance outside the castle. It will be very interesting to see it. The castle is free (at least that day). Although it is far less spectacular than the Tower of London and its interior is not so exquisite, it can't stop the beautiful scenery. At least it is a castle, not a short train trip from Cardiff. Fireworks are set off every year on guy fawkes Day (165438+10.5). Fireworks in Philadelphia are welfare-oriented, that is, you can put money into the donation box yourself. Of course, if you think it's far away and don't care about paying the tickets, you can choose Bout Park below.

There are many parks in Cardiff, but Bute Park is the one I am most familiar with. Because I used to live near the student apartment, I often pretended to run there healthily. The park is very big, and a river runs through it. There are many people exercising there, including football players, skateboarders, cyclists, rugby players, people who simply bask in the sun and throw frisbees, and people who row boats in the river. When the weather is fine in summer, you can also have a barbecue there. Next to the castle, there are not only natural scenery, but also human landscape. Generally, there will be a bonfire party on guy fawkes Day, and there will be some entertainment settings, such as mobile vans selling drinks and food, and live radio broadcasts.

Cardiff Museum is famous because the plot about the museum in Sherlock's film The Blind Banker was shot here. There are many different exhibitions in it, and I happened to see the Dazu stone carving exhibition, which is enough to show how rich the types of exhibitions here are.

Although Cardiff City football team is not in the Premier League now, if the FA Cup is full of personality, you can still see Premier League teams in the local area. Cardiff also hosted the Super Bowl on 20 14. Real Madrid caught the last wave of tickets against Seville. Although I lost consciousness in the cold at the top of the mountain, it was quite special to see Bell playing football in his hometown as a thorn fan.

The Millennium Stadium, which everyone is familiar with, is now mainly turned into a football field, which is very close to the city center. Wales is the team of six nation, and people in Kacun are particularly enthusiastic about rugby, so once there is a game, you can see many people wearing Welsh dragons or daffodils on their heads, as well as people selling AIDS and making faces in the city center. All the bars near the city center are full, and football is broadcast live.

There are all kinds of comedy performances, live talk shows and drama musicals in Kacun. Two days ago, I went to a concert by a rock band. In short, there are some big cities, and card villages are indispensable. Although drama and musical may not be a corner performance, there is not much difference between us amateurs who are watching the fun. There will be a break between various live performances. I want to say that the ice cream in the theater is pure and super delicious ~ Some bars in Kacun also invite some talk show guests or bands to the scene from time to time, and a colleague recommended a local jazz band, which is also very distinctive. Sometimes the BBC will record some radio programs in Kacun, which requires a live audience and can apply for tickets for free. It's also interesting to listen after recording the program. Specific venues include Barry and Bay. Add it next time when you have time ~

In addition, another company has been doing the work of introducing China films into British cinemas, such as Goodbye Mr. Loser, Never Imagine and the recent Macau Fengyun. At first, Cacun didn't arrange films, but now Cardiff is in the slowly releasing city. So even in Britain, it is possible to hold (bu) films made by China (Guan) and (Guo).
