In fact, talking about it feels like a foreigner talking about our Cultural Revolution. We can throw away unnecessary doubts. At the same time, Belfast's urban construction has always been very active, with cinemas, theaters, etc. all available. Hospitality is a Belfast tradition. The bars here feature traditional folk music as well as modern jazz, blues and rock music. The local Caffrey pale ale is known as the essence of Belfast beer. Belfast has experienced several sectarian struggles in the past 30 years, but the security situation has improved significantly in recent years.

The more famous building in Belfast is Belfast Castle. The castle overlooks the city of Belfast and reminds people of the glorious Victorian era. Waterfront Hall is Northern Ireland's cultural flagship, located in the center of Belfast on the River Lagan. Its concert hall and conference center attracts artists from all over the world to perform here every year. And there are many antiques, handicraft shops, and bars from that era. There is also a festival every November called: The Queen's International Arts Festival. Belfast's shipbuilding industry is quite famous. Harland Wolf Shipyard once built the fastest and most luxurious ships in the world, and the Titanic was its masterpiece. Population: more than 290,000.

Giant's Courseway, located on the seaside, is a huge embankment extending into the sea composed mostly of hexagonal (there are also pentagonal and other shapes) stones. The wonderful thing is that these regular stones are all smooth and smooth, but they are high and low, and uneven, like artificial models. In fact, 50 million years ago, volcanic lava surged up to the ground here, cooled and contracted, forming a prism shape. The rock pillars were continuously eroded by waves and cut off at different heights, thus forming the current uneven ladder-like arrangement.
