Itinerary: Pentagon & 9/11 National Memorial (Exterior, 20 minutes) → Mount Vernon (Self-paid, 180 minutes) → U.S. Capitol (Interior Visit, 120 minutes) → White House & Lafayette Square (30 minutes) → Lincoln Memorial + Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall (40 minutes) 🏛️ White House The White House is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. Owned by the National Park Service, it is part of "President's Park." The back of the U.S. twenty-dollar bill features an image of the White House. This white-colored neoclassical sandstone building is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. Because it serves as both the residence and office of the U.S. President, the term "White House" often refers to the U.S. government; for example: "The White House announced that the British Prime Minister is visiting the United States." 🏛️ Lincoln Memorial The Lincoln Memorial is located at the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., supported by 36 marble columns. Upon entering, you'll see a 5.8-meter-tall statue of Lincoln seated at the far end. The walls behind the statue display information about his life and achievements. The entire memorial exudes a solemn atmosphere, evoking deep respect. 🏛️ Vietnam Veterans Memorial The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is situated in a small grove within Constitution Gardens, just a few hundred meters from the Lincoln Memorial. Constructed from black granite, the V-shaped wall spans 500 feet and commemorates American soldiers and officers who died during service in Vietnam. The polished black marble walls are inscribed with the names of the fallen, listed chronologically by date of death. 🏛️ U.S. Capitol The U.S. Capitol sits atop Capitol Hill, 25 meters high, serving as the geographic center of Washington and the symbolic heart of America. Its exterior, primarily made of white marble, evokes a sense of sanctity and purity. Atop the central dome stands a 6-meter-tall bronze Statue of Freedom wearing a feathered headdress, holding a torch in her right hand and a book in her left, gazing eternally toward the rising sun in the east. The Rotunda is lofty and magnificent, adorned with gold and intricate decorations; each painting and sculpture tells a story or legend. The entire Capitol building proudly displays its resilience and enduring strength after wartime destruction, encompassing every era of American politics and symbolizing national unity. 🏛️ Smithsonian Institution The Smithsonian Institution is a unique, U.S. government-funded, semi-official third-sector museum organization. Founded in 1846 in Washington, D.C., by an act of Congress using funds bequeathed by British scientist James Smithson, the Institution operates 14 museums and one national zoo. 🏛️ Mount Vernon Mount Vernon, also known as the estate of George Washington, lies just 16 miles from Washington, D.C., along the Potomac River. It was the home of America’s founding father, George Washington. The estate includes the Mount Vernon Museum, which houses exhibits on Washington’s life and wax figures. 🏛️ Pentagon Located just outside Washington, D.C., the Pentagon is the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense, the nation’s military command center. Named for its pentagonal shape, it is one of the world’s largest single-office buildings. Tips: * If the U.S. Capitol is closed, the visit will be changed to exterior viewing only.
