Chapter 464: Krakow

In the Old Town, you can take your time to admire the surrounding architecture and taste the authentic Polish specialties along the way.

Captain Xia Yuxiang took everyone to see the Copernicus Monument, which is one of the famous landmarks in Warsaw, and was built to commemorate the great Polish astronomer Copernicus who proposed the heliocentric theory.

The great astronomer Copernicus is also very famous, so I won't go into details, but Xia Yuxiang took everyone to the Old Town Market Square, which is the central square of the old town of Warsaw, which was the center of the city until the 18th century, holding a fair, and now the square is surrounded by restaurants, gift shops, and cafes.

Head Xia Yuxiang took everyone to go shopping, and then ended the trip to Warsaw, and then there were many Polish cities, Head Xia Yuxiang and Professor Chen Qi took everyone to the next stop.

Krakow is the largest industrial city in southern Poland, the capital of Krakow Province, with a long history, located on both sides of the upper Vistula River, and a large population, it is one of the oldest cities in Central Europe, and is the homeland of the Vistula people.

"It's quite new to come to this city, I've never heard of this city in China before, and now I realize that I really don't know anything about Poland, and it's great that Head Xia took us here to have a look!" Qu Lihua said.

"Yes, many young people do not have the opportunity to go abroad to see, and when they go abroad, they will go to other developed countries in Europe, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, etc., not many people come to Poland, and there are more developed European countries that have been filmed in documentaries before. ”

When the head of Xia Yuxiang rushed to Krakow with the inspection team, it brought everyone a new and different feeling.

Xia Yuxiang said: "Next, we invite Professor Chen to introduce to us, he has lived in Poland for so long, and he is very familiar with many cities in Poland, let him explain to you, more thoroughly, if you have any questions that you don't understand, you can also ask Professor Chen for advice." ”

Professor Chen smiled, "Thank you, Head Xia, for your trust in me, and I will introduce it to you below." ”

Krakow is the third largest city in Poland, the former capital of Poland in history, during the Renaissance, Poland was the most prosperous and powerful country in eastern Europe, and Poland maintained its reputation as the most advanced country in Europe for a long time due to its access to advanced knowledge of Mongolian and Central Plains culture from Lithuania and Russia.

Krakow, on the other hand, was the center of European culture and science, with the famous astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus being educated at the University of Krakow, one of the earliest and most open regions on the European continent to Jews.

The ancient city of Krakow, located on the left bank of the upper reaches of the Vistula River in southern Poland, is the ancient capital of the Middle Ages, the third largest city in Poland, an important railway hub, and famous for its historical city and cultural center.

"It's still a very long history, it's still a very unique place, and it's worth coming here to see it!"

Krakow is the largest cultural, scientific, industrial and tourist center in Poland, and was once the capital of Poland, built in Krakow in the 7th century, and the Duke of Vistula established his capital here before Krakow was incorporated into Poland at the end of the 10th century.

Krakow is an example of a medieval European capital, from a single castle to two vibrant new cities, which is a unique urban development feature of Krakow, with its classical buildings and medieval atmosphere, known as the most beautiful city in Poland.

Qu Lihua looked around and found that the scenery here is really beautiful, no wonder it is known as the most beautiful city in Poland, where many ancient buildings have been preserved, which have undergone some reconstruction, giving the city a new glow, and also attracting tourists to visit here with its unique temperament and charm.

"People who come here are attracted by the architecture, the old town is full of colourful scenery, including the famous clothing hall and the big market, where a lot of vendors gather, because of the popularity, the popularity forms the market, and the more customers, the better the business," said Professor Chen.

It is surrounded by churches, monasteries, bell towers and square towers, which are similar to some of the typical European buildings that he has visited before, but Professor Chen did not elaborate.

I took everyone to go around, and I was also deeply impressed by Qu Lihua, the city is surrounded by a series of rich mansions built in the 17th and 18th centuries, the houses are very large, and it is really enviable to look at.

"Wow, how nice it would be if I could have such a big house, with a garden and a big house to live in, it's so beautiful!" Qu Lihua sighed.

Meng Wenjie nodded, "It's all where the rich live, so we don't dare to expect it, take a look, it's good to appreciate it!"

Head Xia Yuxiang also smiled, "Yes, but the bigger the house, the more troubles there are, I don't envy it!"

"Hahaha, Head Xia is downplayed!"

"Yes, I think the house is enough to live in, the money is enough, looking at those rich people, always worrying about the family property, I don't envy that kind of life, I always feel that when I am born, what fate I have, what life can I live is a blessing for everyone!"

"Live and work in peace and contentment, do your best, accept your fate calmly, take your own path, don't envy others, and don't want things that don't belong to you!"

Qu Lihua nodded, "Head Xia's attitude towards life is also an inspiration to us young people, listening to what Head Xia said, I also feel open-minded!"

Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "I'm old, you're still young, your future is still wonderful, you still have hope!"

"Hahaha......" Everyone talked and laughed, and walked forward while talking.

Elsewhere in the city, church spires are shaded by middle-class Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque houses.

Krakow has long been referred to by travel magazines as New Prague, a city with a strong literary atmosphere, which has seen so many famous European squares, always crowded with boutique restaurants that attract tourists, etc.

"This square is quite large, and I often bring my friends to this square, which is claimed to be the largest medieval square in Europe, and it is also the most exciting place in Krakow, warm and vibrant, exquisite and simple. ”

Many people come to Krakow to experience the authentic Polish customs, and the square also has a textile hall, which has been converted into a shopping mall and a museum, with stalls selling various Polish folk handicrafts such as amber, wooden plates, tableware, and Polish dolls.

"Come here to buy some local souvenirs, these are very distinctive handicrafts, bring back to China, to relatives and friends is very good, I take you to see, you can see what gifts you like, you can buy, keep as a souvenir is also very good!"

Professor Chen took everyone into the booth, which was very lively, full of people, and the business was really prosperous.
