The Manchester Museum houses the world's largest private Egyptology collection, with a focus on the granite sphinx of Pharaoh Taharqa, which was acquired in 1896. The live amphibian laboratory is released every week to observe the conservation process of poison dart frogs. The "Cabinet of Curiosities" on the top floor displays specimen boxes of 19th-century explorers, and reservations must be made according to the official website.   Take bus No. 147 from Piccadilly Station to "University Station" and you will see the cast iron dinosaur skeleton sign on foot. There is a self-service audio guide on the first basement floor of the museum, and it is recommended to choose the "Industrial Revolution and Natural Discovery" theme route. The marshmallow hot chocolate in the cafe in the museum is served in a retro beaker container, and fossil cookies are limited in supply.   The flow of people decreases 1 hour before closing, which is suitable for photographing the light and shadow of the neo-Gothic stained glass windows. Every extended opening in summer, the atrium will recreate the scene of the 19th-century scientific salon.Manchester · 5.4 km from Stretford

There are many buildings around the square, including the library and the Bridgewater Music Hall. Albert Square often becomes the starting point for many walking tourists to visit Manchester.

The Riverside Spinning Mill is located in Wilmslow (Wilmslow), 16 kilometers south of Manchester. It is an 18th century spinning mill and an important witness to the development of Manchester's handicraft industry. The spinning mill still produces cloth, so that visitors can understand the principle of the spinning machine powered by the waterwheel. A tour guide in overalls in the apprentice workshop takes you back in time and glimpses the hardships of young workers. Spinning mills are examples of early factories with steam engines and intact iron waterwheels. The spinning mill is surrounded by fields, houses and churches, and there is plenty of room for you to take a walk and imagine what has happened here.Wilmslow · 12 km from Stretford

Treat it as a "canteen" rather than a "tourist attraction," and the experience will be much better. Come to eat, and take a picture of the archway while you're at it—that's the right way to experience Manchester's Chinatown.

It faces a monument to Queen Victoria's husband and other great men. As you approach the building, the whole is very spectacular, and the best way is to walk around the building to fully appreciate its majesty.

沿著Manchester Oxfords Road走到博物館,一旁樹葉已變成紅葉,非常美麗,博物館內的動物種類繁多,好可愛,關於木乃伊相對較為少,但喜歡動物的你,值得參觀曼城博物館。

Albert Square, named after Queen Victoria's husband, has a Gothic-style town hall built in 1877, which tells the glory and suffering of the city. This is a pioneer of the modern industrial revolution and was bombed and destroyed by the German army during World War II. Today, the city has stood up again, far away from the days of steam and sweat, and has become a diversified international bustling city that never sleeps. ​

Best place to drink cheap, but tasty drinks and be entertained by drag queens. Good music and usually quiet, peaceful company.

Victoria Baths is also a public facility. This place is very clean. When the weather is hot, many people come here to cool off. The prices of small bars and restaurants nearby are not very expensive. You can slowly explore the surroundings.

This is a place where you can learn about the British Industrial Revolution. If you don't know the history, it's just a spacious place perfect for a stroll, but when you hear about how each room was used and the stories from that time, you might get a little creepy. There is also a cafe inside, where you can relax drinking tea and eating cake in a cute, old, stylish space.
