The Pentagon
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Virginia

The Pentagon

5.3
4.1/5
106 reviews
The Pentagon is located near Washington, D.C., and the entire building is a regular pentagon, which is where its name comes from. It is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, and it also houses the offices of the three major military branches: the Army, Navy, and Air Force. A large number of military and civilian personnel work here, making it one of the largest office buildings in the world, and it is often regarded as the nerve center of the United States military command system. Inside, the 5-story ring-shaped building consists of nested layers, with a labyrinth of intersecting corridors totaling over 20 km in length, making it easy for newcomers to get lost in this maze. On September 11, 2001, a hijacked passenger plane crashed into the west side of the building, which, along with the World Trade Center in New York attacked on the same day, became an unhealed scar in the history of the United States. Today, the 9/11 Memorial is located just outside the building, adjacent to the impact site: 184 cantilevered benches are each engraved with the name of a victim, arranged by the age of the victims, from 3 to 71 years old, with pools of light embedded beneath the benches that glow solemnly at night.United States · Arlington

Wujiaochang is located in Yangpu District, Shanghai. Its full name is "Jiangwan-Wujiaochang". It is one of the four sub-centers of Shanghai. Its southern part is one of the ten major commercial centers in Shanghai. It is named after the intersection of five divergent avenues, Handan Road, Siping Road, Huangxing Road, Xiangyin Road, and Songhu Road, in the northeast corner of Shanghai. Wujiaochang was originally planned in the "Greater Shanghai Plan" implemented by the Nanjing government during the Republic of China to break the monopoly of the Shanghai Concession in the city center. It is now divided into three major blocks, namely the southern commercial center, the central knowledge innovation center, and the northern business center.

The Shenandoah National park with the hiking and the beautiful views from the tops of the hikes. In the good weather, the park is really enjoyable. Hawksbill Mountain, Stony Man, Bearfence Mountain, and Mary’s Rock will give you amazing views and feel. The sunsets also amazing there if you have an opportunity to catch one on a hike. Simply amazing

It was a very solemn day. It didn't seem to bury any dead soldiers here. It was just a place to commemorate the heroes who died for their country in the war. The environment was very good and there were not many visitors.
