点评:The monument is visible from most places in Washington DC so it is very easy to admire it from afar or from the base.
However, you are able to go up the monument. This requires a free timed ticket. The easiest way is to buy it online with a 1$ fee. Otherwise, it involves waiting at the Monument Lodge on 15th Street to get one for the day. The ticket box at the back of the building opens at 0845 and can quickly run out for the day.
There are seats at the base of the monument with signs for the timed entry. Make sure that you are waiting before your time otherwise, you might not be able to get in. Upon entry, there is a security check and then an elevator ride to the top. The view from the monument is quite interesting. There are maps by the windows to help highlight some of the famous buildings in the area. The bird's eye view around the area is quite nice. You can even see the planes landing at the nearby airport.
After enjoying the view, you head down some stairs to a small museum and the elevator down. I thought it was a really nice experience and worth a trip up if you are in DC.
翻译:从华盛顿特区的大多数地方都可以看到这座纪念碑,因此从远处或从底部欣赏它非常容易。
但是,您可以登上纪念碑。这需要一张免费的定时票。最简单的方法是在线购买,费用为 1 美元。否则,您需要在第 15 街的纪念碑小屋等待一天的票。大楼后面的售票箱于 0845 开放,当天的票很快就会售罄。
纪念碑底部有座位,上面有定时入场的标志。请确保您提前等候,否则您可能无法进入。进入后,需要进行安全检查,然后乘坐电梯到达顶部。从纪念碑上看风景非常有趣。窗户旁边有地图,可以帮助您突出显示该地区的一些著名建筑。该地区的鸟瞰图非常漂亮。您甚至可以看到飞机降落在附近的机场。
欣赏完美景后,您可以走下楼梯前往一个小博物馆,然后乘电梯下去。我认为这是一次非常不错的经历,如果你在华盛顿特区的话值得一去。
