🌟 A magical day trip to York: A diary of an ancient English city that travels through thousands of years 🌟

Today I walked all over York, England, an ancient city that "concentrates British history". From the medieval city walls to Harry Potter's Wizarding Alley, every second felt like falling into a time tunnel! ✨ 🌿 York City Walls in the morning light Start the morning at York City Walls. This wall built by the ancient Romans is 3.4 kilometers long and is the best-preserved medieval relic in the UK! Standing on the city wall, with the old town with red brick roofs on one side and the Us River flowing on the other, you can almost hear the footsteps of soldiers thousands of years old. It is recommended to start from Bootham Bar and take a short walk to overlook the cathedral spire. 🚂 Railway fans scream! Time Travel at the National Railway Museum Then head to the free National Railway Museum! 🚄 From Queen Victoria's luxury carriage, Japan's Shinkansen to the Hogwarts from Harry Potter, each car has its own story. ⛪️ York Minster: breathtaking beauty under the Gothic dome We arrived at York Minster at noon. This "largest Gothic cathedral in Europe" made my neck sore from looking up! 😍 The stained glass windows sparkle with a rainbow halo in the sun. The prototype of the legendary "Hogwarts Hall" is here! 🧙Shamble Street: A Muggle Adventure in Diagon Alley In the afternoon, we rushed into The Shambles. This medieval alley is a holy place for Harry Potter fans! 🧙Crooked wooden houses, cobblestone roads and magic shops, I almost want to wave my wand and shout "Go weapons, go!" Recommend The Potions Cauldron to buy a cup of "Butterbeer" 🍺. 🏰 Clifford Tower: bloody history and beautiful sunset Climb up Clifford’s Tower before sunset and enjoy a 360-degree view of York’s red roofs and the distant marshes. Even with the wind ruffling my hair, I still don’t want to leave. 📌 One-day itinerary for beginners Railway Museum→City Wall→Cathedral→Shambles Street→Clifford's Tower (Tickets and opening hours are subject to the official website.
