A must-see in Washington, D.C. – not only for the architecture, but for the incredible sense of history and symbolism
林肯纪念堂的点评
点评:Absolutely iconic – but so much more than just a photo spot.
Lincoln Memorial is one of those places you really have to experience in person. The monumental Greek-inspired architecture, 36 columns, enormous seated Lincoln statue and the inscriptions of the Gettysburg Address and Second Inaugural Address make it incredibly powerful.
What makes it even more special is the history that happened right here. These steps were the setting for Marian Anderson’s 1939 performance and, most famously, Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963.
We also loved discovering that there is a huge undercroft beneath the memorial, now open as a separate visitor experience with exhibitions about the construction and history of the monument.
And the view towards the Reflecting Pool and Washington Monument is simply unforgettable.
A must-see in Washington, D.C. – not only for the architecture, but for the incredible sense of history and symbolism.
Admission is free.

林肯纪念堂正是那种必须亲自到访才能体会其魅力的地方。其受希腊建筑风格启发的宏伟结构设计、36根巍峨的圆柱、巨大的林肯坐像,以及刻有《葛底斯堡演说》和《第二次就职演说》的碑文,都使其极具震撼力。
更特别的是,这里曾发生过许多重要的历史事件。1939年,玛丽安·安德森就是在这段台阶上进行演出的;而最广为人知的事件则是……1963年,马丁·路德·金发表了著名的“我有一个梦想”演讲。
我们还惊喜地发现,纪念碑下方有一个巨大的地下空间,如今已作为独立的参观区域向公众开放,里面陈列着关于纪念碑建造过程与历史的展览。
从这里眺望倒影池和华盛顿纪念碑的景色,实在令人终生难忘。
这里是华盛顿特区不可错过的景点——不仅因为其建筑之美,更因为它所承载的深厚历史与象征意义。
