英国伦敦塔桥

Tower Bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in London and a symbol of the city worldwide. Completed in the late 19th century, it combines practical engineering with striking Victorian Gothic design. For tourists, Tower Bridge offers not only impressive views of London but also an immersive exhibition that explains how the bridge works and why it was built.
