Travel Memories | Chance Encounter at the Oak Alley Plantation in New Orleans

This empty statement is like faith that cannot be verified, but the universe really exists like that. It enters your sight unexpectedly, moves your heart, and you breathe. Close your eyes and use your sense of smell and hearing to distinguish whether you are truly free to love, to learn to not crave, to love and be loved freely and truly. Perhaps this is what true love is all about..."

The plantation with a history of more than 200 years is right there. There are 28 oak trees at the entrance, with their crowns intertwined, covering the sky. Two types of tickets are available for purchase, Sitewith/without "Big House" exhibit, the only difference is whether to visit the interior of the house.
