Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Thousands of cherry trees are planted around the Tidal Lake, and they bloom in April every year. They are colorful and splendid. Against the backdrop of the Jefferson Memorial, they add a grander beauty than Japan's cherry blossoms. To the north is the National Mall, and you can see the Washington Monument standing tall and straight in the distance, and to the west are the Martin Luther King Jr. Monument and the Roosevelt Memorial Garden, surrounded by halls, with a unique view. 1. Jefferson Memorial The Jefferson Memorial is located on the tidal lake in Washington. It was built in memory of Thomas Jefferson and designed in accordance with the ancient Roman temple-style dome architectural style that Jefferson loved. The whole body is white, sacred and solemn. 2. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is the fourth individual monument in American history and is located northwest of Tidal Lake. Martin Luther King Jr. is world famous for his "I Have a Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. 3. Roosevelt Memorial Park The Roosevelt Memorial Park is located on the west bank of Tidal Lake and was built to commemorate Roosevelt. This garden is different from ordinary memorial halls, with scattered stone walls as the main body, telling the major historical events in the United States during Roosevelt's tenure. 4. The beautiful lake with cherry blossoms You can take a panoramic view of the Jefferson Memorial Hall by the Tidal Lake, or you can sit on the steps of the Memorial Hall to enjoy the Tidal Lake and overlook the Washington Monument on the other side of the lake. At that time, the cherry blossoms by the tidal lake were in full bloom, and the reflection of the white memorial hall in the lake was very beautiful. You can also go boating in the lake, the breeze floats and the fallen flowers are colorful, which is intoxicating.

Take a little time and walk around this area. It is so peaceful and beautiful and clean. We enjoyed walking around but many people were jogging and riding bikes.
Traveling to the United States, on weekends, take the subway to the museum area, and then to the monument area, along the road to go, it is a lot of scenery, but it is also a long way. This lake is in front of the Lincoln Memorial. It is an artificial lake, rectangular, you can see the border. The other side is looking at the Lincoln Memorial from the Washington Monument. It is in different directions, and of course the landscape is different. If the weather is good, the scenery is the most beautiful when the sun sets, and the sun reflects on the lake, sparkling.
Absolutely beautiful lake, large, natural, and the plants on the lake are very lush, and the lake is always calm, thanks to the weather in Washington, and it is necessary to go through it when you walk to the Jefferson Memorial.
In addition to popular Japan and Korea, Washington, D.C. is also a famous cherry-watching attraction in the United States. Every year from March to April, thousands of pink and white cherry trees blossom in the tidal lake. The color of cherry trees varies subtly from different angles and under different light. It is very beautiful to match the beautiful scenery of the lake. The wind, sunset, oblique shadows, under cherry trees, in front of the tidal lake, behind a gust of wind, are two little squirrels chasing hip-hop.
Tidal Lake is located in the south of National Square. To the south of the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial is located on the South Bank of Tidal Lake. The Washington Monument meets the Jefferson Memorial across the lake. There is also the Martin Luther Monument by the Tidal Lake.
