Loch Ness

Loch Ness is the second largest Scottish loch by surface area, but due to its great depth, it is the largest by volume. Its deepest point is 755 ft making it the second deepest loch in Scotland after Loch Morar. It contains more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined, and is the largest body of water on the Great Glen Fault, which runs from Inverness in the north to Fort William in the south. And the most famous story about here is of course the “Nessie”. For me, I think that no matter what, people would still eager to find out whether it’s real or not. And it won’t be a bad thing to have the story like this. Cause the things we know about this planet might be the surface.

Windermere-Lake District National Park

Windermere is the largest natural lake in England. It is a ribbon lake formed in a glacial trough after the retreat of ice at the start of the current interglacial period. It has been one of the country's most popular places for holidays and summer homes since the arrival of the Kendal and Windermere Railway's branch line in 1847. It’s also the Lake District National Park.

And the magazine of National Geographic nominated it one of the 50 places you must visit in your life.I think that's because its natural environment and rich resource of habitat.

Yorkshire-York Minster

York is a historical city.The King George VI even said "the history of York is the history of England."

York Minster is also the biggest Gothic minster in the Europe.

During my trip to the U.K,I visited lots of church,minster and cathedral.Although I don't have the religion about this,I still enjoy seeing the delicate statues,decorations and stained glass.Especially the stained glass.When the sunshine through the glass,the refraction is really stunning.

You can also walk to the top of the minster to see the magnificent view of York.

London-Sherlock Holmes Museum

Do you know who is the most famous detective in the world?For me,the answer must be Sherlock Holmes,the character which created by Arthur Conan Doyle.

I enjoy the novels,movies,films,comics...all the things about this greatest detective.And I don't know the reason,actually.But I just know that I really love this character.So when I came to London,I must visited here--the Baker Street,221B.

Here is the Sherlock Holmes Museum.It's interesting that if you ask the people standing in front of the museum"Would you please tell me that where is Mr.Holmes and Dr.Watson?" then he would answer"Sorry,my sweet lady,Mr.Holmes and Dr. Watson is dealing with some cases.But don't worry.They will finish the cases as soon as possible."

All the decorative items in the house just like the description in the books.

The places where Sherlock contemplate most of the time.

And sometimes,Sherlock would play the violin to help him thinking.

Then,I suggest everyone to watch the film"BBC Sherlock Holmes".It's a different way to interpret this famous detective.I like it a lot.

In the story house,there are lots of characters and scenes from the book.It just like you enter the story and all the things happened in front of you.And there are some photos of the story house.
