The aircraft carrier Yorktown, named after the Siege of Yorktown, participated in the Pacific War in the later stages of World War II, and was decommissioned and docked in Charleston as a museum. The aircraft carrier is very large and magnificent, and its intricate and detailed structure is truly admirable. A total of 6 routes are provided in the aircraft carrier for viewing, which will take you through the crew living area, work area, control room, etc., and tourists can also watch on the aircraft splint. There is a submarine next to the aircraft carrier, and tourists can go in and visit. Visitors can also simulate the Vietnam War environment in the adjacent garden.Mount Pleasant · 15.3 km from Folly Beach

The garden is located in the southern part of the Charleston Peninsula. It is a street garden with beautiful scenery. There are imitation craft cannons around it. Visitors can sit on the benches and swings facing the sea and feel the oncoming sea breeze, which is very comfortable. There are also tropical palm trees and lawns, and there is a memorial to the Confederate soldiers under the trees. Visitors can take a walk here after a meal at the nearby food festival, or watch the beautiful sunset.Charleston · 12.8 km from Folly Beach

Fort Sumter National Monument is one of the most famousplaces in the United States of America. This fort was bombed for many days by the South and the North finally left the fort . This is the birth spot of the American Civil War . This is on an island at the entrance of Charleston Harbor so you must take a book to get there. The boat charges a fee but the entry to the fort is free. You are inly allowed a certain amount of time at the fort so make the most of it . it has plenty of cannon you can see . There is also a movie theater where you can watch a movie about what happened there. There is also a musuem about the fort and the war which you can explore.

For tourists who like history and are concerned about military affairs, the Yorktown aircraft carrier is worth visiting. There are many interesting displays here, but it also allows everyone in New York to have a more comprehensive understanding of the glorious history of the Yorktown.

White Point Park is the southernmost parkland on the Charleston Peninsula. A map drawn in 1852 shows that this parkland has remained virtually unchanged for nearly 200 years. Nearly a hundred ancient trees are lush and lush, with their roots intertwined and intertwined, blocking out the sun. A monument is engraved with the names of soldiers who died during the Civil War, so that future generations will always remember them. The park covers nearly 5.7 acres and is well worth a stop.
