What travelers say:

Williamsburg (Williamsburg) is located in the Virginia Peninsula, Virginia, United States, the core of the Virginia Historical Triangle, is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Colonial Park is a town built entirely in the same way as the colonial period, called "Colonial Williamsburg". The town, which covers 175 acres, includes 88 buildings and more than 400 other facilities, all restored to the original building or rebuilt on the original site according to blueprints found by archaeologists from the United States and Europe. To enable visitors to experience life firsthand, everything here remains the same, hearing the jingle of the blacksmith's shop, the crash of the lathe in the wheel repair workshop and the old popular minor from the hotel. Visitors can take the old carriages and tour around with the accompaniment of the piccolo drum band in traditional uniforms, watching craftsmen make paper, shoes and so on using traditional methods from two centuries ago. In this town, even the smell can be reminded of the past, the tea room in the tea cake smell, the woodworking room sawdust smell and the bacon workshop in the mixed aroma of hickory and ham, all give visitors a sense of immersiveness. There is also an octagonal gunpowder warehouse in the town, a small wooden house that looks a lot like a Chinese tower building, and houses more than 3,000 old weapons.
