Panama City can be divided into old city, ancient city, new city, and the most famous Browse area of ​​the Panama Canal Let’s talk about the old city first. Panama was once a Spanish colony, so it is very Many architectural styles still retain the Baroque style, so casual photos will look great. There is no piece of wood! There are many small commodity shops in the old city, some of which are also owned by Indians. Yes, there are small coffee shops and taverns. Walking around Lao Chen at dusk, watching the sunset Take a picture from the street corner, and it also feels like wood. The camera position is shown in Figure 2. Make people look slim 4 Next is the Panama Canal. Since the author has some official duties, not only I visited the canal and also visited the control room of the canal (but I can’t post it for the time being) come up), but stand on the steps of the canal and feel for yourself what it would be like without the bus How long does the Nama Canal need to go from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea? A lap is also a super exciting thing The port of New Town and Panama, the symbol of Panama, are must-visit locations. One, I had two drinks at the Western restaurant next to the port at night, and went to the panama restaurant Making a funny and cute gesture next to your chest is also a romantic gesture.

Obviously a must visit if you're in the city. This is the older part of the city and its historical center. It features old colonial houses, albeit many are being restored, so there is a slight gentrification aspect to the district. Nevertheless, walking through the streets lined with pastel colored houses is gorgeous. You could easily spend a morning or afternoon strolling through the districts various streets, while resting in the many open spaces when you're tired. Also a nice place to grab a bit to eat!

The Bridge of the Americas, spanning the Panama Canal entrance across the Pacific Ocean, is the pride of Panama. Designed and built by Americans in 1962 at a cost of $20 million, it was the only bridge connecting North and South America until the completion of the Centennial Bridge, the second bridge across the canal, in 2004. The bridge is 1,653 meters long, its steel frame arching like a dragon majestically guarding the canal. Cars can cross the canal in just a few minutes. At night, the Bridge of the Americas is even more magnificent and breathtaking. Of course, compared to bridges in China, it pales in comparison, but its geographical location makes it exceptionally famous.

Plaza de Francia is a historic square in Panama City, located in the old part of the city (Casco Viejo), facing the entrance to the Pacific Ocean. It was built to commemorate the contribution of the French to the Panama Canal project. There is a marble monument in the square with the inscription "The French people commend the courage and perseverance shown in its work on the Panama Canal project". There are also some historical sites in the square, such as the original walls of Panama City, the Church of Santo Domingo, etc.

The Mirafloras Locks, the largest locks on the Panama Canal and one of the greatest engineering feats of mankind, have stood here for over a century, connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and remain an important transit point for international freighters.

There happened to be a free choir performance on the day we visited the cathedral. The acoustics were wonderful. Very soulful and charming. And there was that big moving indicator hanging high up in the dome pointing to a white page on the floor. This showed that earthquake movement was visible. The architecture and icons were beautiful. It was easy to feel the peace here. It's a beautiful building.
