Chapter 404: Munich
There are about 300 beautifully carved fountains throughout the city of Dresden, most of which are located in parks and squares and serve a decorative function.
"There will be fountains in many places in Europe, this architectural style, that is, European, many Gothic buildings, more lines than single, it doesn't look soft, make more fountains outside, increase a little flexibility, it looks vivid and flexible, people also like fountains. β
"We've visited some of the sights, the city is over, and then our next stop is Munich!"
"Everyone go back to rest, we have to pack our bags and get ready to go. Robin said.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's go back to the hotel, rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow we will set off, give everyone a day to rest and pack up their luggage!"
"Okay!" everyone went back to pack their bags.
When everyone went to Munich, this is a very charming city, Qu Lihua also supported Xia Yuxiang in the past, and Qu Lihua was very happy to see this vibrant city with her own eyes.
Divided into two parts, the Old Town and the New Town, Munich is the largest city in southern Germany and the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg.
Munich is located on the banks of the Isar River at the northern foot of the Alps in southern Germany, and is one of Germany's major economic, cultural, technological and transportation centers.
"The houses here are still very characteristic, and Munich has retained the quaint atmosphere of the former capital of the Bavarian Kingdom, which is why it is called the 'village of a million people'. β
Meng Wenjie said: "I can still think of Oktoberfest!"
Robin smiled and nodded, "Yes, Oktoberfest, Oktoberfest in Munich is the largest in the world, with more than a million visitors every year, this festival is an important part of Bavarian culture and has been held since 1810, visitors can enjoy a variety of traditional food, a large number of German beers. β
"German beer is really famous, Germans are very fond of beer, there are big wineries, they like German beer very much, and they export it all over the world, this is a German characteristic, and it is also a kind of culture, and it is always necessary to drink a glass of beer and express happiness when entertaining friends. β
"And the Germans drink a lot of alcohol, drinking beer, it's a big glass when you drink it, it's really enjoyable!"
"Let me tell you a little bit about the history of the city!" says Robin, "The earliest settlements in the Munich area date back to the Roman Empire, and 1158 is the first documented year in Munich, and is therefore presumed to be the year the city was founded." β
"Munich is located on the front edge of the Alpine glacier, on a sandy plateau in the northern part of a very fertile flint area that is no longer affected by the Alpine folds. β
"In the southern part of the country, covered with moraine hills, near Munich between the two strips, there is a zone of glacial sedimentation, in which groundwater seeps into the surface of the gravel layer and fills the area where the sediment thins, resulting in the formation of marshes in the north of Munich. β
"Munich has a continental climate and is strongly influenced by the neighboring Alps, which have a large difference in altitude and high precipitation due to the city's proximity to the northern slopes of the Alps. β
"Torrential rains often fall unexpectedly, with very large temperature differences between day and night and between winter and summer, and the dry heat of the Alps can completely change the temperature in a matter of hours, even in winter. β
"Munich's motivation is still very cold, unlike other cities, especially from December to January, it is very cold, with an average temperature of -2Β°C, and the winter will be snowy for at least two weeks, and it will not take until March for the temperature to rise. β
"Some cities in Germany are warmer, and some cities are colder in winter, it still depends on the location!"
"Munich is rich in water, and due to the natural advantages of high water in the south and low in the north, a large amount of meltwater from the Alps and surface runoff merge into many rivers, and the main one is the Isar River. β
Meng Wenjie nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Robin also introduced some areas to us before, it is still very important to have sufficient water sources, and people must have food and water sources in order to live!"
Qu Lihua thought, "There is food, water, and air, so that you can breathe smoothly and quickly!"
"Yes, this condition is indispensable, are very important to human beings, people want to survive in the world, in addition to some natural resources, or need some urban resources, we humans can no longer survive in the wild, sometimes I think animals are more adapted to the wild living environment than we humans, and modern young people have become accustomed to the material conditions provided. β
"For example, the houses, cars, subways, buses, some means of transportation, mobile phones and the Internet in the city, it's hard to imagine how I would live without the Internet and mobile phones?" Meng Wenjie said self-deprecatingly.
"Let me live in the wild with lions and tigers, I will definitely not survive, I can't compete with them!"
"Hahaha....." Everyone was amused by Meng Wenjie.
"Yes, we modern people, although more and more intelligent, but the physical strength is declining more and more, due to the long-term lack of exercise, can no longer compete with those fierce beasts in physical strength, I really admire those ancient times of our human ancestors, how to survive, reproduce. β
"There are hundreds of large and small lakes in Munich, and the water of the lakes is mainly the product of the early glaciation of the Alps, such as Lake Starnberg, Lake KΓΆnigs, Lake Alps, etc., among which Lake Starnberg is very large. β
"I've taken you to KΓΆnigssee and the Alps before, and you've already seen the scenery of these lakes. β
"Munich is located at the foot of the Alps, relatively rich in forest resources, surrounded by numerous forests, and there is a large forest belt on the banks of the Isar River. β
"Munich is in a zone lacking in mineral resources, surrounded only by iron ore resources, the northern region has lignite storage resources, largely dependent on the northern region of Germany and foreign imports, Munich is also relatively lacking in energy, in the southeast of Munich there are oil resources and natural gas resources, while the west and north regions have almost no energy industry. β
"Today, I will introduce you here, let's find a restaurant to eat first, and then I will discuss with Head Xia to see the arrangements for the next few days, and then take you to inspect them one by one. β
