Calton Hill

#2024mapped Being the last stop of UK trip, for a moment I thought it would not be too impressive. No, it’s arguably the prettiest city I have ever made to, and don’t think I could ever have enough. I had only a day in this city that I would have chosen to spend many more days in given a second choice. These are the places I went and enjoyed: 1) Calton Hill - such a wonderful high ground to have the panoramic perspective of the city, with barely any effort 2) Edinburgh Palace - being the icon of the city, it might not be the most photogenic when shot from near. I personally enjoyed the viewpoint from the southeast and northwest (because there were more interesting foreground to take a photo of the palace). 3. St Giles Cathedral 4. Arthur Seat - another popular place to enjoy the skyline of the ancient city. But when I was there, it was raining badly so I couldn’t tell how pretty it usually is. My guess is if not for the natural beauty/experience of hiking or the historical value of the place, Calton Hill has a higher “energy”-performance ratio. But really, the entire city is a living antique. Every corner is a good photo opportunity.

I thought London was beautiful enough! Until I went to Edinburgh The magical city of Harry Potter in Rowling's pen, the scenes that have appeared in countless movies, here hides a medieval romance - When you come to Edinburgh, don't miss these places, with photo spots Calton Hill Overlooking the panorama of Edinburgh, climb the mountain before sunset to wait for a medieval sunset, the shooting location of Jay Chou's 'Ming Ming Jiu' mv; Recommended photo location: the viewing platform at the top of the mountain, you can shoot the entire panorama of Edinburgh, the steps up the mountain can shoot the entrance road of the magical world; Princes Street Gardens Recommended photo location: Waverley Bridge, the intersection to Princes Street, this intersection can see the classic position of the top of St. Giles Cathedral; Victoria Street The prototype of Diagon Alley in Harry Potter, between the Royal Mile and George IV Bridge Royal Mile The bustling old city street connecting Edinburgh Castle Town and Holyrood Palace, bustling, good for shopping and photography Elephant Cafe: Rowling's place to write Harry Potter Arthur's Seat Overlooking the position of Edinburgh, check in with Holyrood Palace Edinburgh Castle At the end of the Royal Mile Other tips: : Basically no cash is needed in the UK, just bring a little spare, it is recommended to bring 2 credit cards, generally visa is more practical; One card is universal around the world, the network is stable and fast, you can use it very conveniently by inserting the card on the ground; Transportation: London to Edinburgh can drive/train/airplane, the train is about 5 hours Passport/ID
