    "The price is not high, but when you arrive at Barcelona, you don't go in and see it, it is equivalent to a trip in vain. If you want to go, you must hurry up early, otherwise there will be too many people. Secondly, early booking and early confirmation. This building has been built for a hundred years, but it has not been built for various reasons. But after entering, if it is a big sun day, then this beauty can not be described in words. In short, a bit expensive but worth it!"

    Highlights: Park Guell, located on the Peralda Hill in Barcelona, is a paradise designed by Gaudí. It is recognized as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO with its unique environmental art. Here, Gaudi's artistic interest and architectural style can be brought into full play. Whether it is the space form, or the color of light and shadow, from the whole to the details, they are all full of fun, beautiful and beautiful, giving people surprises everywhere. In addition to various buildings with different shapes, there are also various animal shapes made of various broken colorful mosaics, such as the colorful large lizards at the gate. Guell Park is built on the mountain, it is an open space, an axis is drawn from the center of the gate, and buildings are arranged on both sides of the axis. The buildings on both sides of the gate are very lively and colorful. Its plan is oval, with a brick dome, and its outer walls are made of local rubble and colorful mosaics. Under the sunny sky, the blue and white mushroom tower, the stone house shaped like a candy, and the curved colorful porcelain chairs make people feel like entering a surreal paradise. Climbing to the top of the mushroom tower, you can also overlook the Sagrada Familia that echoes the distance. After entering the gate of the Hundred Pillars Hall, go up the stone steps along the axis, and there is a mosaic colorful dragon fountain, and after the fountain is the Hundred Pillars Hall. The hall is supported by 86 stone pillars and has a concave and convex ceiling, all decorated with mosaic patterns. Continuing up along the stone steps at the side of the hall, you can come to the roof of the Hundred Column Hall, and the roof is the central square of the park. Gaudí called it the "Greek Theater", which shows that it is both a leisure square and an open-air theater, and it is also the essence of the entire park. Since it is the essence of the park, of course, we have to talk about the benches in the square. They are inlaid with colorful broken porcelain. They look like dancing dragons and undulating waves, winding around the square. The seat backs decorated with broken porcelain are both comfortable and comfortable, and bright and pleasing to the eye. The square corridor surrounds the central square. On the high and low terrain, Gaudi designed a unique corridor. They are built in the mountains and forests, twisting and turning. On sunny days, tourists can walk in the corridor to shade the sun, and on rainy days, they can take shelter from the rain. The pillars of the corridor are basically made of animals and plants. Some are shaped like the legs of an elephant, some are like palm trees, and some are in the shape of a human body. The materials of these pillars are all made of local stone. Like heaven. After walking the corridor, you may wish to visit the former residence of Gaudí. Gaudi's former residence is one of two residences designed by Gaudi himself in the park Guell. Gaudí once lived a quiet mountain life here. Now, here is the museum that introduces Gaudí's life, displaying Gaudí-designed furniture and Gaudí's used objects. The park is currently undergoing maintenance and some areas will be temporarily closed.
