    The order was confirmed quickly and was cheaper than buying the ticket on site (the face value was 14.2 pounds). It was very convenient to scan the QR code on the order at the ticket window at the terminal to exchange the ticket.

    The lake area of England is magnificent, the lake is wide, the wooden boats are rows, the breeze is blowing, and the layers are rippling; the shore and the hillside are shaded by trees, and the air is fresh and cool. It is also the birthplace of Peter Rabbit, a classic image created by children's illustrator Beatrice Potter, and many of her works are set in the Lake District, which is worth a visit.

    During the trip to the UK, we came to the hometown of Peter Rabbit in Bowness, a small town in the Lake District of England. This little rabbit from the British countryside has healed countless people with its cuteness. The souvenir shops in the town and the Beatrix Potter Museum are all places to check in for Peter Rabbit fans.
