点评:The Hill resembles a building site at present, and a fair bit can’t be seen or visited. It is possible to walk all around the perimeter, which is still worthwhile.
In late April, there were no visits to the Senate or to the Library; but there were free tours of the temporary home of the House of Commons, which has actually been constructed very cleverly on-site. You have to prebook, and go through security on arrival. It’s worth doing a recce to check you know where the entrance is - it isn’t obvious.
You can only take a small bag in, for security reasons. Photos are allowed.
The tour lasts about 40 minutes, with a charming and knowledgeable guide, who dealt ably with the group’s questions.
For a temporary building it is beautiful, and very cleverly constructed. I was very impressed.
翻译:这座山现在看起来像一个建筑工地,相当一部分地方无法参观。可以绕着它走一圈,这仍然值得一看。
四月下旬,参议院和图书馆都没有开放参观;但下议院的临时办公地点有免费参观,它实际上是在现场精心建造的。您需要提前预约,并在抵达时通过安检。值得事先勘察一下入口,确认一下入口在哪里——入口并不明显。
出于安全考虑,您只能携带一个小包进入。允许拍照。
参观大约持续40分钟,导游风度翩翩、知识渊博,能够很好地解答团队的问题。
对于一座临时建筑来说,它非常漂亮,而且建造得非常巧妙。我印象非常深刻。
