Thanks to Teacher Chen Fan: The Knowledge Leader in the British Museum
With full gratitude and admiration, I picked up my pen to write this article, just to express my deep gratitude to Teacher Chen Fan.
Without Teacher Chen Fan, this trip to the British Museum might have been just a cursory visit for me. Teacher Chen Fan has lived in the UK for 15 years. As a popular blogger in the museum field, he is undoubtedly the best guide for our exploration of the British Museum this time.
Walking into the British Museum, the dazzling array of exhibits is dazzling. And Teacher Chen Fan is like a walking encyclopedia. Every time he arrives at an exhibit, he can easily pick up the historical stories and cultural connotations behind it. From the ancient and mysterious Egyptian mummies, to the exquisite Chinese porcelain, to the unique style of ancient Greek civilization, no matter which region or period of the exhibits, he can explain them in a simple and easy-to-understand way, making those cultural relics sleeping in the display cabinets instantly come alive. His profound knowledge reserve and his understanding of the history and culture of ancient and modern China and foreign countries make me sincerely admire him.
During the visit, Mr. Chen Fan not only explained his professional knowledge, but also shared his life experience in the UK and his insights into different cultures, which broadened my horizons and gave me a deeper understanding of the diversity of world culture. He patiently answered every question we asked, whether naive or profound, always with a smile on his face, gentle and meticulous.
Mr. Chen Fan, thank you for using your rich knowledge to open the door to knowledge of the British Museum for me, so that I can gain a lot from this wonderful journey. Your explanation not only broadened my horizons, but also ignited my passion for exploring history and culture. I look forward to more opportunities in the future to continue to explore the wonderful world hidden behind the cultural relics under your guidance.

Did not get the chance to go in or close, as it was getting late and had some other places planned to visit. But it was a great achievement unlocked.

The city is beautifully overlooked from the London Eye. The Thames flows like a silver ribbon through it. Old buildings and modern skyscrapers are interspersed with unique charm. Under the clear sky, the scenery is more clear and charming, and it is refreshing. It is an unforgettable experience and it is a lingering experience.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
