"The next stop, I will take you to Wroclaw, you must be very interested in understanding this city, there are similarities and differences between Polish cities, let's go and enjoy the style of this city together!" said Professor Chen Qi.

Everyone followed Professor Chen Qi and took the car to the next stop, and what was shown in front of everyone was a different scene.

Wroclaw is a Polish city, located in the southwest of Poland on the banks of the Oder River, Wroclaw is located in the Oder River valley plain in southwest Poland, south of the Silesian hills, the Oder River flows through the urban area to form several small islands, such as Sand Island and Zatang Island, of which Zatang Island is the earliest block formed in the city, and later the city developed to both sides of the Oder River with this as the core.

It is the fourth largest city in Poland, after Warsaw, Lodz and Krakow, and it is also the second largest financial center in Poland after Warsaw.

"For most of its history, Wroclaw has been a multi-ethnic and multicultural city, with German, Polish, Czech, Jewish and other ethnic groups playing important roles. ”

"If you want to know about this city, I still want to introduce you to the history of this city, in the territorial adjustment and great migration of nationalities after the Second World War, this city was the largest city lost by Germany after the war, the original German residents were forced to move west, and at the same time moved to the east of Poland to cede This is the pain of Poland, and many years later I still don't want to mention it. ”

A large number of Prussian, Austrian and even Bohemian buildings rebuilt after the war are also related to history, and it is still a rather unique city in Poland, and Wroclaw has been a multi-ethnic and multicultural city for most of its urban history, with German, Polish, Czech, Jewish and other nationalities playing an important role.

"And German has long been the dominant language, Prussian, Austrians have also brought different languages, and even French is spoken, and many cultures, different languages are also characteristic here. ”

"After introducing some history, let's take a look at the weather here, tourists will be more concerned about the weather, and the weather is also more important!" said Professor Chen Qi.

The climate of Wroclaw belongs to the temperate broad-leaved forest climate of the transition from oceanic to continental, and the climate is generally mild, but the winters are cold, cloudy and wet.

"It's still more suitable for human habitation, and the population is gradually increasing!"

History has also influenced the style of the city's architecture, and the urban area of Wroclaw was an important economic and cultural center in the past German era, with a large number of fine buildings in various styles from Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism, to Modernism and Postmodernism. ”

Wroclaw's Gothic style appeared first, the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Chapel of the Dukes on the Cathedral Island with tall twin towers belong to this style, the church is a European characteristic, you can see it almost everywhere you go, people still need to have faith, come to the church to sit, in order to calm the mind.

Its Baroque architecture owes much to the court architects of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty, with the University of Wroclaw and St. Elizabeth's Church on Cathedral Island being examples of this style.

There are also a number of outstanding works by German modern architects, among which Max Berger's Centennial Hall is the most important, which has been listed as a world cultural heritage and also attracts a large number of tourists to visit here.

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie followed the head of Xia Yuxiang and Professor Chen Qi to visit, and they also felt very rewarding.

They listened slowly to the story of the place that in the 10th century, the island of Zatang on the Oder River in Wrocław had become a bazaar, a crossing on the ancient trade route from Leipzig to Opole, Krakow and Kiev.

Originally a dependency of Great Moravia, it soon became part of Bohemia, where it was occupied and then recaptured by Bohemia.

There are a lot of twists and turns in the story, and Breslau in Silesia is a humid German town on the banks of the Oder River, where the banks of the river are full of Germans.

Traditionally the core city of the Silesian industrial region, Wroclaw was one of Germany's major industrial cities before World War II, and the earliest industries developed were flax and cotton textiles, which made full use of the abundant water and coal resources as power, and later the railway locomotive manufacturing and electronics industry gradually developed.

In Poland, Wroclaw remains one of the fastest-growing cities, second only to the capital Warsaw in terms of economic size.

"We have also said before that if a place wants to develop its economy, it must first develop transportation, and only when transportation is convenient can it develop its economy. ”

Wroclaw is one of Europe's railway hubs, with domestic trains to all parts of Poland and international trains to Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, Kiev, Budapest and Prague.

Wroclaw's inland waterway shipping industry is also important as a port on the Oder River, with regular flights to Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Vienna and Warsaw at Wroclaw International Airport.

Wroclaw has a wide range of fine buildings from Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism to Modernism and Postmodernism.

Head Xia Yuxiang and Professor Chen Qi took everyone to visit these classical buildings, and Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie could also feel the history and culture here.

Professor Chen Qi introduced to everyone, "Wroclaw's Gothic style appeared first, and the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Chapel of the Dukes with tall twin towers on the Cathedral Island belong to this style, and its Baroque architecture is mainly due to the court architects of the Habsburg Dynasty in Austria, and the University of Wroclaw and St. Elizabeth's Church on the Cathedral Island are representative works of this style. ”

"Oh!" Qu Lihua nodded, a little understood, and didn't seem to fully understand, looking at these unfamiliar European buildings, Qu Lihua was also eye-opening, and the oriental architecture she was familiar with before, it was a different style, Qu Lihua also thought it was quite interesting.

Wroclaw's culture is open, diverse and inclusive, and everyone is happy to see the beautiful decorations.

The local residents, some of whom have migrated and traveled to several countries, are not only not repulsive, but also welcome, because they themselves have been one of them.

Qu Lihua asked for directions, and the locals could also answer very friendly, not polite, leaving a good impression on Qu Lihua, Meng Wenjie took Qu Lihua to the store to buy daily necessities, he couldn't understand the local language, and someone helped to translate in English.

"It's really good, it's very friendly to us!" Qu Lihua said.

Meng Wenjie nodded, "Yes, it's really good, there are still many good people in the world!"
