The Pentagon

The Pentagon is the seat of the U.S. Department of Defense. It was also destroyed in September 11, 2003. More than 100 people were killed. Pentagon-shaped buildings were built during World War II and were closed to the outside world.

The buildings that were attacked on September 11 were very tragic.

来的时候没有仔细做攻略，五角大楼可以参观的，有游客中心需要提前2周预约。非常可惜临时不给进，警卫人员是一个标准的美国大兵，高大帅气又具有亲和力，反复解释说要提前在计算机上预订，旁边有大警犬会着你。非常的刺眼，照的人晕晕的，我跟着行人一起往前走不知不觉的走到了办公区，遇到了一个黑人官员，很礼貌的说这里不能拍照有游客中心可以参观。从华盛顿离开的时候在飞机上看到了五角大楼的全貌，很是感慨，真的是五角形的。

Visited the 911 Memorial Park of the Pentagon. A monument was erected for 184 deceased persons. The parallel line on the ground was the route of the plane's dive at that time. The Trident in the distance is the height of the plane's dive. On one side of the Pentagon you can still see the difference between the old and the new. Light-colored stones are walls that have been repaired after impact. Very shocked!

This event, including a visit to the Pentagon, is actually one of the reasons that attracted me to travel to the eastern part of the United States. The Pentagon is located in Arlington County, Virginia, not far from DC. The command center, which was set up over a year after the Pearl Harbor Incident of World War II in response to the war, has gradually become the Department of Defense of the United States and the mysterious power center in many movies and TV dramas. This opportunity to enter this mysterious place, in fact, the Pentagon is open to visitors, but must be booked and approved. When the appointed day arrives and passes the security check, the visitor enters the waiting area. The whole process can only be photographed in the waiting area. A mock-up platform is set up here for visitors to remember, as well as souvenir shops. Later, you will be visited by men and women soldiers from both sea and land. A special tour route will be set up. The focus will be on the history of the four U.S. military services. The memorial to General Eisenhower and the memory of 184 people killed in the 911 attack on the Pentagon will be seen, including one passenger and crew member on United Airlines Flight 77. A special memorial facility was set up in the building, with words and pictures recording the lives of each deceased person. Soldiers who lead tourists walk in front of the team and backward to ensure they are always facing tourists. There are many restaurants and shops in the building to meet the needs of more than 20,000 staff members every day.

The Pentagon is the office building of the U.S. Department of Defense, located in Arlington County, Virginia, southwest of Washington. It is named for its pentagonal shape and is the largest single administrative building in the world. No visitors are allowed, only a circle around the outside parking lot is allowed.

五角大楼坐落在美国华盛顿附近波托马克河畔的阿灵顿镇，是美国国防部所在地。从空中俯瞰，这座建筑成正五边形，故名“五角大楼”。

没地方让你登高看五角大楼的五角形状，这是世界上最大的单体建筑。只是路过，只能远远地拍张照，算是到过了。在远处看也没什么，感觉好扁。并且，只能拍到五角中的一个角。看到被袭击的痕迹。

The Pentagon can go inside, but it needs to make an appointment in advance. Many scenic spots in the United States offer an appointment service. If it's not your turn to make an appointment, the Pentagon needs to look down from a high place to see the overall effect.

The next day I got up on time and started to drive. There were many cars on American highways. Everyone drove very fast, but the order was good. Because we chose the toll road to go to Washington as soon as possible, it was unexpected that American taxis were not expensive and the toll was not cheap. Follow the navigation, follow the traffic flow, cross the tunnels and bridges, cross several states, and finally arrived in Washington, D.C. before noon. The first stop is to see the mysterious Pentagon. Since we don't have an appointment, we want to see the appearance. It is said that foreigners have to make an appointment through the embassy. It's troublesome. The mysterious U.S. Department of Defense, the world's largest office building, is tightly guarded. It can't take pictures around it. It takes a few pictures and drives around in a car for a tour.
