There are many palaces and castles in this old European country. Buckingham Palace is the most famous one. It has been the home of
kings and queens for a long time. The UK has always been famous for its
museums. Among them is the British Museum. You can learn a lot about the world's culture there. The UK also has many places of natural beauty, such as the Lake District. You can see swans and other wild birds on the lakes there.
The best time to visit the UK is from May to September because its winter is wet and cold. The weather changes often there. It is sunny one minute, but rainy the next, so prepare for it before you go there. Moreover, remember that people use pounds there, not RMB or dollars!
