    This is a world heritage site. It is just near the cruise port. It is a 15-minute walk away. It is worth checking in. You can take panoramic photos of the cruise ship here. There is also Oura Catholic Church on the way, which is also a world heritage site. The ticket is 1,000 yen. You are not allowed to take photos inside. I especially recommend the dessert shop at the door when it is hot. Nagasaki specialty milkshake

    I used to live next to the Peace Park and go out every day, so I have feelings for it... The environment is very good! Especially in the morning, it is quiet and a new day is about to start, so this time I went to Hiroshima, and I went to the Peace Park, which was returned by boat after visiting Miyashima (you can also return by JR on the original road, and then take the bus to Peace Park for half an hour), so although the price of the ferry ticket is a bit high, But the feeling of taking a boat is necessarily different. The scenery along the way, the breeze, including the building on both sides of the riverbank on the boat, is once again thinking about my original home here! ! ! Peace Park is usually full of tourists, but it is also full of harmony. The original explosion dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park monument, etc. are not far away. If you have time, you can also visit the newly built Hiroshima football stadium not far away. The new building gives people a bright feeling. I really want to take the opportunity to watch a football game... Then you can also go to Bentong Shopping Street.

    Great place to know the history and aftermath of the atomic bomb at Nagasaki. Better if you can visit Hiroshima which much more comprehensive.

    The morning light gilded the vermilion memorial archway, the Chinese characters "Nagasaki New Chinatown" fluttering softly from the eaves. Passing through the gatehouse, it felt like stepping into a different time and space: the Fujian-style Guandi Temple shimmered with incense, stone lions guarding a century of vicissitudes. On both sides of the street, the eaves of Tang Dynasty temples juxtaposed with Western-style buildings, creating a unique blend of Japanese and Western cultures in Nagasaki. Steam rose from food stalls, the aroma of meat buns mingling with the sound of shamisen. At nightfall, over four hundred lanterns illuminated, transforming the street into a warm ocean. Here, there was no clamor for hawking, only a leisurely pace of life and the hidden stories of history within the marketplace. The monument marking Zheng Chenggong's birthplace, quietly standing on a street corner, tells the long story of Sino-Japanese exchanges. In this condensed world, savoring a bite of Sarani Udon is more than just a taste of food; it's a unique warmth born from the collision of cultures.

    The port of Nagasaki in Japan is worth visiting! The blue sea and blue sky are so beautiful! There are many birds flying on the sea, the dynamic and static scenes are combined, and the cruise ship is smart and moves on the sea. I recommend everyone to visit!

    The three most recognized night views in the world are Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong, Hakodate in Japan, and Naples in Italy. In Japan, a new world's three major night views were selected in 2012, among which Hakodate in Japan became Nagasaki. The characteristics of this new world's three major night views (Nagasaki): huge coverage area, dotted with stars, "it seems like the Milky Way falling from the sky". Transportation: Take bus No. 3 or No. 5 at Nagasaki Station to the cable car station and buy a cable car ticket. It is recommended to buy a round-trip ticket, 1250 yen. There is a 3-story observation deck on the top of the mountain, and a coffee hall on the 1st floor, which are basically full. There is a toilet on B1. The top floor is an outdoor observation deck.
