Washington, D.C. Travel Reviews
  Sep 25, 2007
I would recommend seeing Maya Lin's Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. Here is what she had to say about the war:
“the politics had eclipsed the veterans, their service and their lives.” The memorial is comprised of three components: the Wall of names, the Three Servicemen Statue and Flagpole, and the Vietnam Women's Memorial. Information: Hours: Open Daily 8 a.m. to midnight Closed: Dec. 25 Location: Bacon Drive & Constitution Ave. Metro: Foggy Bottom Facilities: Bookstore, Restrooms, Concessions Park Information: 202.426.6841 Chinatown, Washington, D.C. This neighborhood developed in the 1930s and has a fascinating history. It's located east of downtown, and has a handful of ethnic Chinese and Asian restaurants. Chinese businesses are located along H and I streets and between 5th and 8th streets. I would recommend you see the Friendship Arch, which is a gate built over H and 7th Streets. It makes for some nice photo ops. The easiest way to get to Chinatown is to take the metro and get off at the Gallery Place-Chinatown station. Other attractions I recommend are: Botanical Gardens National Air and Space Museum National Gallery of Art Newseum & Freedom Park Smithsonian Institution
