In the past few hundred years, it has received how many people have been admired, and how many people have taken pictures, there are countless people who have been here, a group of people have come, a group of people have left, and then the next group of tourists have come to pay their respects, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come here.

Walk through the old city, come to the rose garden on the high slope on the east side of the bear garden, the garden is planted with all kinds of precious roses, the varieties are extraordinarily complete, the rose garden is the pride of Bern, from the rose garden to Bern, the whole view of the old city is in full view, the Gothic buildings are scattered, the houses and streets are arranged up and down, the buildings are covered with greenery, the whole city is like a three-dimensional garden.

If you're tired from walking, take a seat at the open-air table in front of the café in the park and ask for a Swiss ice cream or a small cup of espresso to taste the taste of Bern's Old Town.

Head Xia Yuxiang suggested: "I'll take everyone to drink coffee, give Xiaoqu and them some ice cream, take a break, everyone rest for a while, and it's also very good to sit on the side of the road and enjoy the street scene here!"

"Head Xia, as soon as we heard that there was coffee to drink, we immediately came to our senses, and I also like to eat ice cream!" Qu Lihua said.

"Hahaha, I know that you are all little gluttonous cats, hahaha, ice cream is not only liked by girls, I also like to eat!"

Head Xia Yuxiang took everyone to choose a café, took everyone in, chose a seat on the side of the street, and looked at the street scene outside while eating.

Lined with the most luxurious mansions in the city of Bern, the area is often infested with bears, which can be seen in the neighbouring area, because of this historical origin, the Bernese people still have a special preference for bears, and the image of bears can be seen everywhere, whether in the fountain in the center of the street or on those old buildings, there are almost all bear sculptures.

"This is the special feature here, the bear has become their mascot, as an image of the city, and also sells tourist souvenirs, and the souvenir also has the image of the bear on it, as the symbol of the city. Head Xia Yuxiang said.

The Zalingen Fountain was built in honor of the Duke of Zahringen, the founder of Bern, but his image is not visible on the fountain, except for a ubiquitous Bernese bear wearing a duke's costume.

The staircase was built in the 15th century, and there are still some vicissitudes of time, and in front of it is the Flag Bear, on which is a bear that wants to be in the limelight, which looks very cute and cute, and there are bears in various postures on chocolate candies, on large cakes, and even on men's belts, women's hairpins, children's buttons, and many other daily goods.

"The cartoon image of the bear is made on the cake, and the girl's hairpin is very cute, and the goods that come out of this way are very popular with children, and people can accept such a cartoon image, anthropomorphic, very vivid and cute!"

Every festival, hotels, shops, and houses are hung with large pairs of colored flags decorated with various artistic bear flags, which become a major landscape in Bern.

Bern is also known as the "Bear City", Qu Lihua came here to look up and see the sign of the bear everywhere, the people in this place like bears so much, Qu Lihua thought that Russians like bears, and felt that bears are representatives of strength, only to find that there are so many bear images here, you can see them everywhere.

On the east bank of the bend of the Aare River is the 500-year-old Bear Garden, which is a 500-year-old bear farm that the people of Bernese have a deep affection for bears and will often come to visit the bears.

Lucerne in central Switzerland is a beautiful city of lakes and mountains, as early as the Roman times it was a fishing village with few families, and later, a lighthouse was built to guide passing ships, hence the name "Lucerne", Latin for "lamp".

"Our next stop is this city, there are so many cities in Switzerland that we can visit, let's take a look at a few representative cities, so that everyone can get to know their style!"

The city has been left with ancient human history, with medieval churches, towers, Renaissance palaces, mansions, century-old shops, and long streets and alleys.

The centre of Lucerne itself is not huge, the main attractions are scattered within walking distance, the Capel Bridge and the Octagonal Water Tower are Lucerne's landmarks and the buildings that most often appear on Swiss postcards, and the Lion Monument tells a piece of Swiss history and is a symbol of Swiss loyalty.

"Before, we saw the bear, but now we come here and see the lion monument, they worship these beasts, they represent strength, bears and lions are beasts of the forest, they have super strength. ”

In Lucerne, the most pleasing sight is the Lake of the Four Forests, with different boat routes leading to the resort towns and the famous peaks of the Alps.

Lucerne in central Switzerland is a beautiful city surrounded by mountains and rivers, one of the largest summer resorts in Switzerland, founded in the 8th century, Lucerne and the lake around Uri, Schwyz, Nidwalden formed an alliance, becoming the first four cantons of the Swiss Confederation.

The lake surrounded by the four cantons is therefore named "Forest Lake of the Four States", the ancient town of Lucerne is small and exquisite, the main attractions can be reached on foot, the historic Lucerne, medieval churches, towers, Renaissance palaces, mansions and century-old shops, long streets and alleys, this is the characteristics of Switzerland, Qu Lihua decided to keep the classical buildings after seeing them, and did not let the modern buildings replace these buildings that look a little old.

Instead, the classical architecture is preserved and carries their history and culture, and the four forest cantonal lakes, now commonly known as Lake Lucerne, flow into the River Reuss, dividing the town into two parts: the new town and the old city.

"Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful, I like Austria and Switzerland very much, the scenery is beautiful, it is a good place to come to vacation, and Austria and Switzerland are more cost-effective than other European countries, and the price is relatively better than other countries, Germany and France. Qu Lihua said.

"Yes, it's really good to travel to Austria and Switzerland, there are many cities to visit!" Meng Wenjie agrees with Qu Lihua's view.

Lucerne is modern in the 21st century, but also has the beauty, harmony and vitality of the Middle Ages, with frescoes of periods and styles everywhere in the streets, and the city's old narrow streets and squares, and shops everywhere.

Not only can visitors enjoy the laid-back atmosphere here, but the city is full of joy during the Lucerne Carnival in winter and Lucerne and Lucerne Music Festival in summer, so you can enjoy the local atmosphere during the busy season.
