US Study Tour 10.

Most attractions in Washington are free, but some require reservations. The Capitol has strict security checks, and you can't visit on your own. You need to follow a designated guide. The main attractions are the "First Floor Hall," "Central Hall," and "Statue Hall." If you're interested, you can also make a reservation to attend a congressional meeting, but photography is prohibited. The Library of Congress's treasures are two Bibles, but I'm more interested in this manuscript of "Chinese Travel Notes." The Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial are both "been there, done that" attractions. Washington's political center is a straight line. Library of Congress gate, hall, and main reading room. Washington Monument, reservations required to reach the top, but I couldn't get one. US Capitol (not the White House), the ceiling of the Central Hall features a painting of "The Apotheosis of Washington." Lincoln Memorial, just an open statue.
