The magnificent Gothic building on the north side of the square is the new Munich City Hall, where you can enjoy the fun puppet dance of the City Hall Bell Tower every 11 and 12 noon."

    Highlights: The Munich Palace District is located in the center of Munich and is the meeting point of important buildings in Munich from the 16th to the 19th century. There are many buildings such as the King's Building, the Maximilian Palace, the Banquet Hall Building, the Bavarian Opera House, and the General Memorial Hall in the Munich Palace District. Due to the different eras and functions, these buildings may be brilliant, grand, simple, or complicated, with different styles, but the noble atmosphere is the common feature of the buildings in the Munich Palace District. If you see a lion statue in Munich's Royal Palace area, remember to touch the lion's nose, so that you can get blessings.

The magnificent Museum of Antiquities is an imposing hall, 69 meters long, built in 1571 as a candidate library, a very large non-religious Renaissance synagogue north of the Alps, now the State Ballroom.

    "Allianz Stadium as a famous stadium in Europe and even the world, how can you not come to Munich to punch a card? I just wanted to visit on the weekend. I bought some souvenirs. I didn’t expect to see a lot of fans on the road and the subway. I checked the official website and there was really a game. Bundesliga Bayern Munich vs Bohong, but between colleagues and friends said that tickets are difficult to buy, so just looked at the official website, I didn't expect to actually have tickets!"

    Highlights: Located on the banks of the Isar River, the English Garden covers an area of 350 hectares. It is a large park in Munich and one of the largest urban parks in Europe. Since the construction of the garden is similar to that of the United Kingdom, the grass is open, the paths are winding, and it is in line with nature, and it is rarely artificially carved, so it is named "British Park". The lawn in the garden is densely green and covered with shade, the wild ducks play in the river, and the swans roam the lawn, which is a harmonious natural scenery. Nowadays, the English Garden is a good place to experience the atmosphere of citizens' leisure life. Whenever the weather is fine, a large number of citizens will come here to exercise and relax, and enjoy leisure in the sun. The landmark buildings in the park are a circular temple (Monopteros) built on a hillside and a Chinese tower imitating ancient Chinese architecture. This quaint pavilion-style five-story wooden pagoda built 200 years ago, although it is called the Chinese pagoda, was built by Europeans who yearned for oriental art half by legend and half by imagination. There is a beer garden under the tower, providing visitors with drinks, entertainment and leisure programs and opportunities to enjoy the surrounding scenery. The northern part of the park is dominated by woods, with many quiet paths and fewer people. Citizens riding bicycles and running can be seen. The southern part is more popular, with a large area of grassland, and it is a famous "celestial body bath". There are usually many tourists around to cast a glimpse of it from a distance. It is said that there are also local residents who really want to see what it is, so they buy a map and hold it in their hands, pretending to be tourists and standing there.

    "Loved this museum! Absolutely loved it. The galleries have a fair number of interactive exhibits and everything is in both German and English. We spent four hours here and didn’t see it all. Well designed, really informative and I thought it would be hard to beat the treasure chest of scientific instruments until we walked into the musical instrument section and saw a staff member playing and demonstrating a full size pipe organ."

    Highlights: The Deutsches Museum is located on Isar Island. It was built in 1903 and is known as the largest science and technology museum in the world.

My colleague suggested us to have our dinner here.As we entered, we witnessed how crowded it was. It was a lively atmosphere. We proceed to order our dinner.I ordered the specialty pork knuckles and it was very yummy.We also ordered a glass of beer which is a must try. It was a very larger glass and thus I had to share with my colleague."

    Highlights: The Royal Brewery was built in 1589 during the reign of William V. It was originally a Royal Brewery and has been open to ordinary citizens since 1828. The Royal Beer House is a white, four-story building with a conspicuous blue "HB" logo on the roof. Entering the main entrance, the first thing that catches your eye is the souvenir shop, which sells beer-related peripheral products, which can be purchased as appropriate and kept as souvenirs. Next, is the essence of the beer house - the public hall. The hall is very spacious and can accommodate 1,300 people at the same time. The murals on the vault are quite historical. To the left of the main entrance is a large bar, and the mountain-like "beer glass wall" is very spectacular. To the right of the entrance is a chic small box that can accommodate 70 people. The seats there were often reserved by prison officials during World War II. There is a music platform in the hall, and an orchestra dressed in traditional Bavarian costumes will perform live for the guests. The banquet hall is also worth seeing. The hall can accommodate more than 900 people. The pink and blue mixed vault is gorgeous and fresh, mixing classical and modern styles. The chairs that Lutwig II sat on are well preserved. Down, candlestick chandeliers are full of retro vibes, while modern sound equipment meets the needs of the hall as a dance venue. At present, the festival hall often hosts traditional Bavarian balls and various folk performances, which are very interesting.
