Phoenix Park

The park was originally a deer park built by the then governor Duke Ormond in 1663. It was intended to cater to the King Charles II and some dignitaries in Dublin. After several centuries of changes, it still retains the characteristics of deer garden in the 17th century. Because the deer park was originally named finniskk (meaning clear water and green grass) in Celtic, and its pronunciation is similar to Phoenix in English, the British call it Phoenix Park, and this name is gradually accepted by people. The newly-built park once became a luxury place for the kings, but later it was ruled by the people and brought happiness to tens of thousands of tourists.
Dublin Castle
The architectural style and scale of Dublin Castle at the beginning of its construction can be regarded as one of the most magnificent castles in Europe. It is a city in the city of Dublin in the middle ages, with a rectangular shape and four Peibao at the four corners.
In 1169, the Angelo Normans landed in wicksfordshire, Ireland, and controlled Dublin for several years. Thirty years later (August 30, 1204), King John of England authorized the construction of a castle to hold his taxes and treasures and to serve as an English base in Ireland. Dublin Castle was built against this historical background. Most of the ancient castles were destroyed in a fire in 1684, which burned the medieval castle beyond recognition. Only one Fort Pei was completely preserved. Therefore, most of the existing old buildings in the castle are relics built in the 18th century
The main function of Dublin Castle is to serve as the reception of the state and the official residence of the governor. In history, Dublin Castle has long been the seat of the British ruling authority over Ireland. The richly decorated St. Patrick's Hall (banquet hall), the assembly hall and the throne room were once the main venues for the British governor in Ireland. Now Dublin Castle is the most important place for state affairs in Ireland, where presidential inaugural ceremony and state banquet welcoming foreign heads of state or government are held.

The castle was first built in 1172 with wooden towers built by strongbow, but was later destroyed. From 1204 to 1213, strongbow's son-in-law and his successor, William Marshall (count Pembroke), rebuilt it and changed its main building material to masonry. In 1391, the Butler family bought the castle. In the long history up to 1967, they were all private castles of the Butler family, handed down from generation to generation. Finally, in 1967, the owner of the castle gave it back to the public. The owner only collected 50 pounds symbolically and handed it over to the government. After that, the castle began to open to the public and was managed and maintained by the Irish public works office. Now it is an Irish cultural heritage and one of the most famous castles in Ireland.
Cliffs of Moher
Cliffs of Moher is the highest cliff in Europe. It faces the boundless Atlantic Ocean on the edge of the Midwest of Ireland. It is famous for its adventure. With the impact of the crustal movement and the great waves of the Atlantic Ocean for countless years, Mohe cliff has formed an uncanny shape. This amazing masterpiece of nature creates a dense cross-sectional layer like an axe. It seems to be a great book through the ages. Near the cliff, towering a cylindrical barren Brien tower, like a decadent knight, is also the commanding point to watch the cliff. As the sun goes down, the vast Atlantic Ocean is filled with brilliant golden glow. Perhaps more familiar is that in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Potter and Dumbledore leave footprints on the edge of the cliff.

In this church, besides the tombstone of the early Celtic, there are also important figures in the founding history of Ireland, including the first president of the Republic of Ireland.
