An attraction of a lifetime
Years ago, I traveled to Washington, D.C., and one of the programs was in:Potomac River(Potomac River) boat trip.
Along this river, there is the Pentagon of the Ministry of Defense of country M on the bank, and the aircraft Air Force One of country M is also parked in the hangar on the bank, and there are many veterans of country M living on the riverside, as well as Georgetown University.
InPotomacA river boat trip, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery along the coast, a distant view of the Pentagon is an important content, and at the same time, the guide stressed that if you are lucky, it is possible to seeAir Force One takes off or lands
Potomac RiverIt is the most important river in the east-central part of country M, flowing through the city of Washington and flowing south into the Atlantic Ocean.
Potomac Park on the banks of the river is a tree-lined park with nearly 4,000 cherry blossom trees, making it one of the most beautiful sights in spring, and for this reason, various events are held every year during the cherry blossom season.
Due to a special event at the White House that day, our visit to the White House had to be adjusted, resulting in our cruise program being rescheduled to lunchtime.
When we boarded the "Capital Cruise" route, the narrator began to introduce the scenery of the shore as the boat slowly moved.
It's early summer, and there is a large area of lush forest on both sides, and low-rise buildings loom in the shade, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and listen to the narrator's introduction.
According to the tour guide, the low-density small buildings on the banks of the Potomac River are inhabited by many veterans of country M, where the forest is dense, the environment is quiet, the air is excellent, and it is a good place to recuperate.
When the cruise ship passes by the shoreAndrews Air Force BaseAt this time, the narrator excitedly told everyone that the moment the hangar was opened, not every visitor could witness the scene.
The Joint Base Andrews is just a few kilometers from Washington, D.C., and is manned by several troops. As the closest military base to the capital, its most important function is to be responsible for the defense of the capital, and two "Air Force One" have long been based on it.
Country M** takes *** from the White House to Andrew's base, and then transfers to "Air Force One" to various destinations.
Foreign heads of state visiting the United States, and if they are officially visiting Washington, D.C., their special planes usually land at Andrews Air Force Base.
I don't know if it's Air Force One.
Andrew's Air Force Base, which looks very mysterious, organizes an air show every year at the end of April, which is open to the public for two days.
As the boat continued to move, the silhouette of the Pentagon began to appear in the distance, and the docent carefully introduced it, and the tourists picked up their cameras to take pictures and record the special scenery they saw at this special moment. It's a pity that the Pentagon I photographed was too vague.
Viewed from the air, the building is in a regular pentagonal shape, hence the name "Pentagon". The design of the pentagonal shape was based on the constraints of the available land area and the shape of the building, and the pentagonal shape was considered the best architectural shape for the building.
The Pentagon is also only a few kilometers from the White House, so you can see it up close if you don't choose to take a boat tour.
The Pentagon is open to the public, but reservations are required, photography is prohibited during the visit, and mobile phones and all wireless signals must be turned off.
