Soon TAXI came to a castle and survived not far away, Liu Jie said goodbye to the enthusiastic black driver, Liu Jie looked at the huge castle in front of him, and sighed in his heart, this is the life of a rich man.
Built in central California, Hirst was built in a luxurious castle on the top of St. Lucia's Hill near St. Mi's Bay in central California, designed by the architect Julia Morgan in 1919, which lasted 28 years and cost $165 million, the entire building is in the European Mediterranean style, the gardens are Italian and Spanish, and it integrates natural, architectural and artistic beauty (sculpture and painting), and the entire estate has 165 rooms. The main building consists of a cinema, library, pachinko, wine cellar and VIP rooms, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools. In the twenties and thirties, Hollywood stars, politicians and other celebrities frequented here. In 1958, it was open to the public free of charge and was visited by a large number of visitors
Hearst Castle is the most luxurious castle in California, and its owner, William Randolph Hearst, was a media tycoon in the twenties and thirties of the country. The castle was built on top of a hill and took 28 years to complete. The castle's blue and transparent indoor and outdoor swimming pools are the finishing touches of the whole castle, the bottom of the indoor pool is made of mosaics into underwater animal patterns, and the pool shore is inlaid with pure gold; The outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by white marble stone carvings with tiled blue water, which is quite gorgeous.
Close to San Simon on Highway 1 in California, USA. There's an overlooked but worthwhile attraction – Hearst Castle, also known as Hearst Castle. It's a very interesting place to say that it's a royal garden and there are no royal families in the United States; It is said to be a noble castle, but the United States has not been awarded any knighthood. But this large-scale and classical castle is indeed an ancient castle that resembles royalty and nobility. Take the seaside road to the castle, which is now open to the public as a state park. The castle is on the mountain, and a well-equipped tourist reception center has been built at the bottom of the mountain, and tourists visit the castle from this center to take a unified tour bus, and a bus is sent at a certain interval, and a car of tourists is a group, all with a special tour guide. It's just that the entrance fee is a bit more expensive, $25 per person, which is higher than all the national parks in the United States. But after visiting the castle, I still felt that it was worth the money. In particular, we learned about the rise and fall of this castle from the detailed explanation of the guide.
The castle reflects the rise and fall of a family, to be precise, a person. I say this because the owner of the castle is William. Rudolph. Hearst, and the castle land was inherited from his father. The vast land of Old Hatch covers a total area of more than 1,000 square kilometres, occupying the charming hill of St. Simeon and the surrounding hills, and the castle is even more magnificent when you take a tour bus along the winding mountain road, where you can see the rolling pastures and the misty sea below. The owner of the castle knows little about people today, but in the United States in the 20th century, he was a hot figure, he used to be a giant in the newspaper industry of country M, in the twenties of the last century, every four newspapers in the United States belonged to him, which shows how influential he was in country M at that time. What is little known is that such a tycoon who controls the media and even the political circles of country M is hiding in this country house far away from the hustle and bustle of the city to control his newspaper empire. Every day he spent his days in the independent kingdom approving the proofs of the newspapers delivered by his private plane, directing his newspaper empire by telephone and telegraph, and the rest of the time spent all his time on the castle, which it would say took Hirst almost his life. Construction began in 1919 and the castle was not fully completed by the time of Hearst's death in 1951.
The castle was actually designed, constructed, modified, and expanded. In 1919, Julia Morgan, a well-known woman in the American architectural world, accepted Hearst's invitation to design and build a castle full of Hearst's personal dreams, and Julia's life has been associated with this castle ever since. In the process of continuous design, modification, and expansion, it unconsciously consumed her life. Hearst Castle also became her own dream, her life, her life's work.
Liu Jie exchanged the stealth cloak in the system space, took out the scent elimination potion, and sprinkled the potion on his body first, such a big castle, rich foreigners, there are some hunting dogs in the castle, and there are even tigers, leopards, etc. Used to see the castle.
Liu Jie made all the preparations, climbed over the wall, and used the stealth function of the stealth cloak, Liu Jie walked for 5 minutes, and what made people even more amazing was the pool. This Roman-style pool is also arguably the jewel of the entire castle. The bottom of the pool is paved with animal mosaics dissolved with real gold, and the shore of the pool is inlaid with pure gold, and the tiled blue pool walls are matched with the golden pattern of the pool, coupled with the gorgeous lighting and marble statues around it, leaving a deep impression of extreme luxury and grandeur, and also allowing people to see the glory of Hearst in the past.
Liu Jie swallowed hard, is this still a swimming pool? Your sister, a rich man, I just saw it today, Liu Jie really wants to jump into this swimming pool and swim happily. But he is now infiltrating, if this swimming pool can be absorbed by the system space, Liu Jie will unceremoniously absorb this swimming pool.
Liu Jie looked at it and continued to walk forward. Found a ranch on the side of the road? Liu Jie couldn't believe it, this foreigner really knows how to play, build a ranch on the edge of the castle, this ranch is also very luxurious, you don't have to think about it, you can guess that the fences separated one by one are for animals that cannot be raised, and they are used for ornamentation.
Liu Jie looked at it and continued to walk forward, there was a church in front of him? Your sister, you really have a lot of money, not to mention building a ranch in your own backyard, but even building a luxurious church? The life of the rich, don't we understand?
Although he didn't know what the teaching was, Liu Jie thought about it for a while, and there should be nothing too valuable to exchange here.
But Liu Jie still slipped in, and found that there was no one in a huge church, fortunately, there was no one, Liu Jie walked around, with the eye of scanning, looked east and west, and found how many Bibles were found, Liu Jie was surprised to find that he could exchange a lot of exchange value, Liu Jie directly converted it into his own exchange value, and then found a painting, which was worth 400,000 exchange value, Liu Jie didn't say a word, and directly converted it into his own exchange value.
In the end, I turned around this luxurious church inside and out twice, and all the items worth more than 1,000 were exchanged.
