The Library of Congress is one of the four official national libraries in the United States and stands as the country’s premier federal cultural institution. With a rich and storied history, it has grown into the world's largest repository of knowledge—a powerful symbol of American intellectual life and democracy. Its vast collection includes more than 30 million books in 470 languages and over 58 million manuscripts, among them President Abraham Lincoln’s handwritten Gettysburg Address. It also houses the nation’s largest collection of rare books, including one of the few surviving copies of the Gutenberg Bible, the first book printed using movable type. In addition to these treasures, the Library holds millions of U.S. government publications, international newspapers, microfilms, legal documents, maps, musical scores, and more—rightfully earning its title as the world’s greatest trove of knowledge.

As the political heart of the United States, Washington, D.C. is home to many iconic political and cultural landmarks, including the Capitol Building and the U.S. Supreme Court. Congress—made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives—serves as the highest embodiment of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. As one of the most significant landmarks in the nation, the Capitol Building has stood witness to the United States' long and often challenging journey through history.

Outside Visit
The White House is a neoclassical white sandstone building covering over 73,000 square meters, consisting of the main residence along with the East and West Wings. It serves as both the workplace and official residence of every U.S. president since John Adams, and has become a powerful symbol of the American government. Many of the nation's most important legislative decisions are signed and announced by the president within its walls. George Washington, the founding father of the United States, once shared his vision for the presidential residence—emphasizing that it should not be a palace or a symbol of luxury, because those who work there are ultimately public servants of the nation.

The White House Experience Hall is a state-of-the-art educational and immersive museum created by the White House Historical Association, officially opened in September 2024. Blending history with modern technology, the Experience Hall allows visitors to explore the elegance and significance of the White House as if stepping into history itself. Guests can virtually interact with past presidents, witness key moments in presidential decision-making, and gain a deeper understanding of daily life inside America’s most iconic residence.

The Lincoln Memorial is a white, Greek temple-style monument built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It stands as an enduring symbol of the nation’s ideals and one of Washington, D.C.’s most iconic landmarks. More than just a tribute to Lincoln, the memorial has become a powerful gathering place for those advocating peace, justice, and democracy. It was here that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech, forever linking the site to the ongoing struggle for civil rights in America.
