"But for those young people who like to explore, they dare to come in winter, Zugspitze along the way to enjoy the snow ridge glacier, feel the mystery of the eternal snow, is also a very good choice, but in winter to wear a down jacket, to wear thicker, come here to ski, young people who like this kind of sports can come to experience, there are sleds, with some skiing equipment, under the premise of protecting safety, it is also very happy!"
"And the snow in winter, it will not melt quickly, there are still a few months of snow, if you come here to ski, there are still a lot of people, most of them are young people who have the courage to experience excitement and adventure, this is a different experience, it is very exciting, and full of challenges, it is really happy to be able to slide down from the head, I have also brought my family here to ski. β
"There is a golden cross on the top of the Zug Peak, which means that you have climbed to the highest point in Germany, this attraction is very famous, and it is also the highest mountain in Germany, which attracts many tourists to travel here, and if you come here to take pictures, it is also very beautiful!"
Meng Wenjie nodded, "The scenery here is really good, I also took some beautiful scenery videos through the drone, and I have taken the drone back now!"
Meng Wenjie took out the remote control and gave a command, and soon the drone returned and stopped steadily by Meng Wenjie's side.
Qu Lihua was very happy, "Wow, the drone is really easy to use, I also want to buy a drone!"
"Brother Meng, is your drone expensive?"
"It's okay, now the domestic drone brand is moderately priced, supports domestic products, my performance is very good, the shooting picture is clear, the wind resistance is also quite strong, and it is quite stable, the quality is OK, and it has hardly been broken. β
"We're going back, everyone has to prepare, assemble the team, and then Captain Xia will take everyone, or take the crane down the mountain. β
"The next stop, I discussed with the head of Xia Yuxiang, and the head of the Xia group said that during this time, I took you to a lot of German attractions, all of which are small towns, because most of the beautiful places in the tourist scenic spots are in these small towns, and when you first arrived in Germany, I took you to Berlin. β
"In addition to Berlin, I will take you to Hamburg, where we have traveled to several small German towns close to the city of Hamburg, which is one of the three major state cities in Germany, the second largest city in Germany, the most important seaport and the largest foreign trade center in Germany, the second financial center in Germany, and the economic and cultural metropolis of northern Germany. β
"A lot of tourists want to see some of Germany's most advanced big cities in addition to the beautiful towns!"
"Hamburg is a city with a history of more than 1,000 years, one of the oldest cities in Germany, and as early as the 4th century BC, the area around Hamburg became a settlement. β
From the end of the 8th century to the beginning of the 9th century, Charlemagne of the Roman Empire built castle facilities here, established a town, called Hanma Fort, to the late 12th century, due to the development of ports and industry and commerce, promoted the prosperity of the city, after entering the 13th century, Hamburg established trade with England, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Portugal and other countries, and successively formed a free trade alliance with more than 100 port cities in North Germany and Northern Europe to play a positive role in the economy of medieval Europe. β
Hamburg is an important transportation hub in northern Germany, one of the richest cities in Europe, and has become the center of Germany's news media and industrial manufacturing. β
"When ocean liners from all over the world come to Germany, they will call at the port of Hamburg, which is also very famous in Germany, and many goods for export and foreign trade are transported by water, and many of them go out of the port of Hamburg. β
Listening to Robin's introduction to Hamburg, Qu Lihua was also very happy, "Before I came, I wanted to come to Berlin and Hamburg in Germany to have a look, and I went to Berlin with the delegation before, and now I can come to Hamburg to have a look, and I am also very happy!"
"Hmm!" Robin nodded, "We have seen the beautiful scenery of the German town, and we will take you to see the prosperity of the big city in Germany at this stop, and I believe that we will give you different feelings and fresh experiences." β
Qu Lihua asked Robin, "Why is this city called hamburger?
"Hahaha, many people will ask like this, when the name of this city is mentioned, fast food will come to mind, in fact, this name still has a source, let me first introduce you to the origin of this name, so that you have a preliminary understanding. β
"Okay!"
"The first settlements arose in the 8th century on the banks of the Alster, not far from the mouth of the Elbe, and in 830 the Holy Roman Empire founded a town here, called Hanmarburg. β
In 834, Hamburg was chosen by the Northern Apostolic Bishop to be the seat of the cathedral, and in 845, 600 Viking warships entered the Elbe to destroy Hamburg. β
"In the 12th century, the Elbe became more important, and trade in the Nordic region developed rapidly, and in 1189 Hamburg received a concession from the Emperor Barbarossa to collect customs duties on the Elbe, and after the 13th century, a free trade alliance was established with the port cities of North Germany, called the Hanseatic League, and Kukshamn, near the mouth of the Elbe, was the outer port of Hamburg. β
"The Hanseatic League, a city alliance in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages, became the most important North Sea port of the Hanseatic League, as well as a transshipment point for grain, cloth, furs, herring, condiments, timber and metal, and Hamburg itself became famous for its most important export, beer. β
"Let me tell you about the location of the city, the Free City of Hamburg and the Hanseatic Free City, located on the banks of the Elbe River in the northeast of Bremen, is a beautiful port city in northern Germany, the second largest city in Germany, after Berlin. β
"There are 2 beautiful lakes in the city center, and 3 small islands in the North Sea to the northwest are also part of the state of Hamburg. β
"The city of Hamburg is not far from the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, from which ships can sail along the Elbe River to Hamburg, the main and two branch roads of the Elbe run through the city of Hamburg, the Ulster, the BΓΌhler River and hundreds of rivers and small canals form a dense network of rivers and small canals throughout the city, so the Port of Hamburg is a dual-purpose port of river and sea, and an important hub for river and sea, sea and land transport in Europe. β
"I think the reason why this city can become the second largest city in Germany is closely related to its geographical location, the geographical location is good, so the economy is easy to develop, we look at many big cities, it is because of the good geographical location, there are natural resources, and then human beings come to develop the economy, it is easy to develop. β
"The geographical location is particularly remote, and lack of resources, the population is particularly small, it is not easy to develop the economy, the comprehensive conditions of Hamburg are really very good, the port of Hamburg's ocean shipping and trade has been extended to Asia, Africa and the Americas, the port of Hamburg, is the largest port in Germany, but also one of the most modern ports in the world, there are large and small wharves, can berth many large cargo ships at the same time, 10,000 tons of giant ships can be sailed into the port from the North Sea along the Elbe River channel. β
