Panama City can be divided into old city, ancient city, new city, and the most famous Browse area of ​​the Panama Canal Let’s talk about the old city first. Panama was once a Spanish colony, so it is very Many architectural styles still retain the Baroque style, so casual photos will look great. There is no piece of wood! There are many small commodity shops in the old city, some of which are also owned by Indians. Yes, there are small coffee shops and taverns. Walking around Lao Chen at dusk, watching the sunset Take a picture from the street corner, and it also feels like wood. The camera position is shown in Figure 2. Make people look slim 4 Next is the Panama Canal. Since the author has some official duties, not only I visited the canal and also visited the control room of the canal (but I can’t post it for the time being) come up), but stand on the steps of the canal and feel for yourself what it would be like without the bus How long does the Nama Canal need to go from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea? A lap is also a super exciting thing The port of New Town and Panama, the symbol of Panama, are must-visit locations. One, I had two drinks at the Western restaurant next to the port at night, and went to the panama restaurant Making a funny and cute gesture next to your chest is also a romantic gesture.

Plaza Francia, also known as the French Square, is a scenic spot in Panama City's Old Town. Resembling a former castle, it stands on a high point, offering panoramic views of Panama Bay and the city skyline. Looking down, you can spot pelicans resting on the rocks, and to the north, the Bridge of the Americas. Locals also choose this spot for wedding photos. The square also boasts a towering obelisk, commemorating the French workers who built the canal. Atop it stands a bronze sculpture of the Gallic rooster, a symbol of France (more on this in previous notes and reviews). It seems the cost of the early construction of the Panama Canal was immense.

Obviously a must visit if you're in the city. This is the older part of the city and its historical center. It features old colonial houses, albeit many are being restored, so there is a slight gentrification aspect to the district. Nevertheless, walking through the streets lined with pastel colored houses is gorgeous. You could easily spend a morning or afternoon strolling through the districts various streets, while resting in the many open spaces when you're tired. Also a nice place to grab a bit to eat!

This bridge connecting the North and South American continents is a great photo spot. It only takes five minutes to get there and snap some photos. It only takes five minutes from the city center between 10 am and 4 pm, so don't go during rush hour!

[Scenery] Visited this national park with a local friend [Fun] We had a road trip adventure and the day went very smoothly. He was very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. With his help, we saw many beautiful birds, frogs, monkeys, sloths, etc. The trip started with a hotel pick-up, but it was definitely worth it!
