  • Among the finest galleries and collections are those housed in the National Museums Liverpool. These include the Walker, the national gallery of the north, recently refurbished to the acclaim1 of international critics, and the Museum of Liverpool Life, tracing the growth of the city and its people.

    Also on the world-famous waterfront are the Merseyside Maritime2 Museum and Tate Liverpool, set in the stunningly3 refurbished Albert Dock complex. These beautifully restored dockside warehouses4 are now home to a dazzling collection of bars, cafes, restaurants, shops and other unique visitor attractions including The Beatles Story museum.

    "Its a skyline dominated by the citys two magnificent Cathedrals and other examples of Liverpools wonderful architecture"

    Some of the best views of Liverpools striking Pier5 Head waterfront are to be seen from the deck of a famous Mersey Ferry, sailing from the nearby Landing Stage. Its a skyline dominated by the citys two magnificent Cathedrals and other examples of Liverpools wonderful architecture.

    Liverpool's cultural and architectural treasures go far beyond the city centre boundary. Croxteth Hall and Country Park, together with Knowsley Hall and its Safari6 Park each lie just a few miles from the bustling7 city centre. But the contrast could not be more stark8.

    Its the same too at the National Trust's historic Speke Hall, a magnificent half-timbered house dating back to 1490 and set in beautifully maintained gardens.

    利物浦是一个美丽的港口城市,位于英格兰的西北部,是默西塞得郡得首府。

    利物浦属于海洋性气候,全年的一般温度在10-32摄氏度之间,降雨平均分布在一年之中。

    著名的Waterfront是lbert Dock、披头士、Tate美术馆和航海博物馆的故乡,内陆有迷人的Croxteth国家公园和Speke厅,市内建筑独具风格,有著名的大教堂、市政厅、圣乔治大厅、大剧院和Philharmonic音乐厅。利物浦与中国的贸易源远流长,可上溯至清朝年间。市内建有欧洲最古老的中国城,海岸面貌与上海非常相似。

    因为其地理位置的重要,在1939-1945年是第二次世界大战的重要的地区,1940年,棉花贸易和纺织品工业开始走下坡路,1950年著名的英国披头士在利物浦开始他们的演艺生涯。利物浦目前人口约有52万。

    利物浦一般的生活费用会比英国的南部地区高15%-20%,一些物品的参考价格如下:1、一份报纸约40P;2、一打鸡蛋约1.30;3、一罐可口可乐约 50P;4、一份炒饭约2P;5、一份麦当劳的套餐约3P;6、一张戏票约4P;7、一双皮鞋约30-60P;8、一包方便面约36P;8、一袋面包约 30P-90P;9、一瓶牛奶约36P.

    利物浦是英国著名的商业中心,尽管这几年出口有所下降(大型制造业)但它仍然是英国第二大港口,仅次于伦敦,进口的产品主要包括:谷物、木材、纺织品。城市本身的制造业包括制药、电子设备、制糖业、橡胶业。

    利物浦是英国第二大贸易港。利物浦还是披头士四人合唱团的故乡。披头士首次在卡文登场是1961年5月21日,已是30多年前的事了。而在约翰。列侬被那颗罪恶的子弹射中之后,披头士乐队的复活也就成为永远的梦。然而,他们的歌迷有增无减,他们的音乐超越了时空。,超越了国境,将永远打动人们的心弦。在利物浦,您将与"不灭的披头士"重逢。
