There is a Mound of Lion beside the old battlefield in Waterloo which is a small town of Belgium close to France, in fact ,the Mound of Lion is a
large grave which had lots of soldiers buried in. All these soldiers were died in the Waterloo battle.The mound is covered with grass,and there is an
iron lion on the top ,which was made in 1826, to commemorated the victory of allied armies defeating the French army.Typical European plain
surrounded it, everything is peaceful, dazzled sunshine and fresh air,only the iron lion watches France in the south as a guard.Who can think of that
there was a bloody battle happened here before more than one hundred years? There is statue of Napoleon standing on the ground opposite to the
Mound Lion, theNapoleon statue is very thin and short,with an anxious face and a sword which looked like a crutch,and a dead tree near by it.
After that we went to the Brussels,the capital of Belgium.We visited the Independent Gate first,after taking some photoes, we arrived at the military
museum , there are many real equipments in the museum,which are better than French museum ,such as guns , cannons and tanks ,even the fighter
plane and the coastguard vessel were all put in the museum,that is amazing.
There is a “Home of the King” built opposite to the city government, it was built to be the temporary palace for French king Louis XIV,it is a
museum now and used to display the clothes of Juliaant,the little hero of Belgium.Beside this museum there were the Chinese temple and the Japanese
tower,which were built in Paris Exposition.Every country had built a building with characteristics in the Paris Exposition ,China and Japan did it
too,when the king of Belgium visited to the exposition ,he was attracted by the Chinese temple and the Japanese tower,so he bought these two
building ,dismantled and delivered them to his garden ,then built them up again.
