Brasília National Park

Brasília National Park is located in the northwest of the Federal District, approx. 10 km from the city center, and is a protected area adjacent to the capital, characterized by the Cerrado tropical savanna ecosystem. Because of the many springs in the park, it is known by locals as the Mineral Water Park, and it is also an important water conservation area for the Federal District. Public activities are concentrated in the open area where the swimming pools and trails are located, which also happens to be a window into the typical vegetation of central-western Brazil. The park's characteristic view consists of several natural mineral water pools distributed along the stream and continuously replenished by spring water. They originated from sand pits left behind before the city was built, and the pool water is crystal clear.Brasilia · 16.8 km from downtown

Near the square are the Brasilia History Museum, the Temple and other buildings. The Parliament House is located next to the short bus terminal in the square. In the middle is a 28-storey building. On the right side of the square is the House of Lords with an inverted bowl-shaped roof, while the House of Commons is on the left, with a roof like a dinner plate. The two buildings complement each other. Works by Oscar Nière Mayer. The Grand Presidential Palace is located behind the Congress Hall. This palace composed of glass curtain walls is called the "Palace on the Plateau"; in front is the statue of labor soldiers, which is used to commemorate those who have worked hard for the construction of Brazil. There is a fountain in the front square, and next to the fountain is a statue of a lady without an eye expression. He was dubbed the "blind judge," a metaphor for unfair judgments and a warning to law enforcement officers to uphold justice.Brasilia · 3.3 km from downtown

The Bavarian National Park is also a very important place. It is quite interesting to visit here. You can also see many rich designs in the national park. There are also many tourists visiting here.
