Chapter 469: Gdansk

"The next city, we will go to Gdansk, this city is also very important, let Professor Chen introduce it to you. Head Xia Yuxiang said.

Professor Chen smiled, "I would be happy to introduce you and take you to visit, the world is very big, we can only understand the world by going out and seeing more!"

Qu Lihua was also very happy, "Head Xia, Professor Chen, this is my first time in Poland, I really don't know much about Poland, I have only heard of some famous European cities before, such as Berlin in Germany, Paris in France, it seems that I only know these, except for these famous cities, other cities, I have not heard of it, after this inspection, I found that the world is really big, we know too little." ”

"Yes, we came to Poland in the hope that through our field trips and our programs, more domestic people can better understand the countries along the 'Belt and Road'.

"Gdańsk, like most of Poland, is a large open plain, and because it is located in the delta area of the Vistula River estuary, it is more flat than the rest of Poland, and there are large swamps and wetlands nearby," said Professor Chen Qi. ”

"Introducing the geographical location, let's take a look at the climate, climate I also think is very important, whether it is suitable for human habitation and life, climate also plays a very important factor. ”

"Gdansk is located in the westerly wind zone and is affected by the humid air of the Atlantic Ocean all year round, so although it has a high latitude, the climate type is still temperate oceanic, with an average annual temperature of 12.8 °C, an average daily temperature of -2.4 °C in January and an average daily minimum of -3.4 °C in January. ”

"The average temperature in July is 17.3°C, with an average daily maximum of 21.0°C, which is quite cool and pleasant, and Gdansk has an abundant annual rainfall and often rains, which is still conducive to the development of agriculture. ”

"It's still suitable for human habitation, with a good geographical location and a climate suitable for human survival, more and more people are coming to settle here. ”

"There are also hills in Turmberg, not far from Dandansk, which are the highest point of the Bode Plain and are typical moraine hills in terms of genesis. ”

Qu Lihua was also amazed when she heard Professor Chen say this, "I always felt that the history and geography we studied in school were useless in the past, and we couldn't use them in practical work, but now I realize that these knowledge are all useful!"

"The Baltic Sea, to which Gdansk borders, is a large inland sea with very low salinity, very little tidal range, and almost never a large storm or wave, and the coastal type of the area around Gdansk is a sedimentary coast, with numerous spouts, sandbars, dunes and sandy beaches along the coast, which can satisfy the needs of a large number of coastal tourists. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Yes, the geographical location of this city is still good, we said that the geographical location of a city determines the economic development of the city, and the geographical location has advantages, and the easier it is to develop the economy." ”

Meng Wenjie also nodded, "Yes, I heard Head Xia Yuxiang tell us before that the geographical location of a place has advantages, the more the economy develops, and the economy develops, the more people will be attracted to live here, and there are also talents, and talents are needed in all walks of life, and the participation of these talents has also promoted the prosperity of the local area." ”

"Yes!" Professor Chen nodded, "Gdansk is an important center of shipbuilding, petrochemical, mechanical and food processing industries in Poland, with two seaports, and an important center of science, culture, art, higher education and museology. ”

"There are a lot of modern buildings, I will take you to visit, the modern economy is also developing very well here!"

Qu Lihua followed Xia Yuxiang and Professor Chen to visit some enterprises, including modern machinery manufacturing and food processing industry, the scale of the factory is quite large, as well as the seaport, and visiting some schools and museums, which also opened Qu Lihua's eyes.

Gdansk is one of the largest cities in Boji, with many Gothic and Renaissance styles, and it is a city with a lot of history, and the ancient city has been preserved for many years and has become a cultural heritage.

St. Young's Church and the ancient city wall are the most famous, and this attraction has also become a popular tourist spot for tourists.

"The city has a well-developed marine tourism and entertainment industry, with excellent access by land, rail and water, and air routes connecting all parts of Poland and neighbouring countries," said Professor Chen. ”

"I can see the current prosperity and think of the history of Poland, I am also full of emotion, as a child of a Chinese family who came to Poland to make a living, we are here to make a living, get a job, and have a bite to eat. ”

"My grandfather and father often told me about the hard times and the history of Poland, which was so war-torn and so beautiful and geographically important, and was eyed by many powers. ”

"Looking back on the history of Poland, it is still embarrassing, let me briefly talk about some history, many things are not clear, just briefly say some, for your reference!" Professor Chen said slowly, very touching, very charismatic, erudite and talented, leaving a very deep impression on Qu Lihua.

"For more than 600 years since the Hanseatic League, Gdansk has been an important shipping and trade center on the Baltic coast, and since the 13th century has had extensive trade links with the Netherlands, England and Scandinavian countries. ”

"In the 16th and 18th centuries, it became the largest commercial port in Europe, and was one of the centers of handicrafts and culture and art, Poland is rich in Baltic amber and is one of the richest amber reserves in the world. ”

"It is rich in products and resources, and it is also a good place with beautiful scenery, which is very suitable for human habitation and is a fertile land. ”

"Although it has declined several times during the wars, soon after each decline, Gdansk was able to take advantage of its location and regain its former prosperity. ”

"After the First World War, Poland was restored, and because Poland had no port, a narrow strip of land with direct access to the Baltic Sea was carved out as a way for Poland to go to the sea, which became known as the Polish Corridor, and Gdynia grew rapidly and Gdansk prospered. ”

"Gdańsk still retains its status as an important shipping and industrial center in Poland, and it was quickly rebuilt after the war and restored its former prosperity, which is not easy and is the result of the joint efforts of the local people, which is very gratifying!"
