The exquisite Albert Square is in the heart of Manchester, with the Town Hall on top. The square was built in memory of Queen Victoria's husband, Albert, with a characteristic and iconic Victorian Gothic building designed by Alfred Waterhouse. 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. Although it covers a small area, it is located at the throat. And the perennial crowd is like weaving. Every weekend, it will be occupied by commercial activities, music parties and even bazaars, making it very lively.

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.
