An hour away by train in Lucerne is the picturesque mountain town of Engelberg, a truly beautiful place where Qu Lihua can feel the local atmosphere.

The Benedictine monks followed the angel's voice into this valley and built a monastery, so the town was named the land of angels, there are many angel statues in the town, which is very chic, Qu Lihua also thinks the angels are very cute, and asked Meng Wenjie to help her take pictures.

Engelberg has long been a summer retreat for Europe's high society, and the most magnificent building in the town is the Benedictine Monastery of Engelberg, which once ruled the valley and went directly to the papacy, and tourists went to the monastery garden to taste the Ingeborg cheese invented by the monks.

Head Xia Yuxiang took everyone to taste the cheese, Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie tasted a few pieces, and they also felt that the cheese was very delicious.

"Switzerland is still quite distinctive, not only famous for its watches and jewelry, but also for its delicious cheese!"

Mount Titlis is home to the highest peak in central Switzerland, and although it is 10,000 feet above sea level, it can be reached in 45 minutes by three cable cars.

The design of the Mount Titlis Cable Car is unique, and the last section is a 360° rotating cable car with a wide view, which is the first of its kind in the world.

The cable car ride is also very good, Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie took the cable car up the mountain, and asked the management here if it was safe, the administrator said that the cable car was very safe, it was tested for safety, and after listening to the administrator's words, Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie were relieved that the scenery here was really good, the trees were green and green, and it looked very vibrant.

After arriving at the Peak Tram Station, visitors can enter the ice cave to touch the pristine ice, take a glacier chairlift, fly over the glacier crevasse, walk on the glacier, and play in the snow at the glacier park, where several free snow toys are enjoyable.

There are several restaurants, an ice cream station, a souvenir shop, a photo studio of ethnic and classical costumes and the only professional watch shop in Europe located on the top of the mountain.

"The shops and surrounding facilities are still very complete, still very good!"

In particular, try the Panorama Restaurant at the top of Titlis Mountain, where the highest suspension bridge in Europe was opened to commemorate the anniversary of the Titlis Cable Car Company, where Europe's highest suspension bridge was opened for 100 meters.

Titlis Lingxiao Rock Road is just like the slogan of Titlis Mountain "Ice and Snow Journey, Four Seasons Fun" said, Titlis Snow Mountain attracts tourists from all over the world all year round, the scenery is pleasant, there is indeed something to see, Xia Yuxiang took everyone to visit, to see the surrounding scenery, but also feel very happy.

From the Capel Bridge in Lucerne, you can see the majestic and steep Mount Pilatus, the gateway and landmark of Lucerne, with its Pilatus Street and the Pilatus radio station.

The best way to visit Mount Pilatus is a world-class attraction with the world's steepest mountain train and the Golden Loop of Mount Pilatus, which is best traveled from Lucerne to Lucerne by water and on Lake Lucerne, where you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. Abandon the boat and take a cogwheel train that slowly climbs the world's steepest cogwheel railway to the summit, admiring the changing alpine vegetation, majestic mountains and the occasional antelope passing by.

"The wildlife here is well protected, and the antelope is also a very cute animal, and girls love this animal!" Qu Lihua said.

She held her phone to take pictures of the antelopes jumping in front of her, and their movements were still very flexible, which was really good!

At the top of the hill there are dragon trails, restaurants, hotels, souvenir shops, observation decks and perfect conference halls, and Switzerland has paid great attention to furnishing the interiors, which is so beautiful to be able to dine, shop and enjoy the view.

After admiring the peaks of the Alps and the numerous lakes, you can descend into the cable car, which is gradually approached by the old town of Lucerne, where there is the longest summer toboggan run in Switzerland and the rope climbing park, after which you can walk or take a bus back to the old town of Lucerne.

The most famous lookout in central Switzerland, known as the Queen of the Mountains, has been a famous place to watch the sunrise and sunset since ancient times, with panoramic views of the Alps and the plains stretching into the Black Forest of Germany and France since ancient times.

Xia Yuxiang said: "The landscape here is really very good, we have been to Germany before, and we have also been to the Black Forest, everyone must be very impressed!"

"Yes, the Black Forest, it's all forests, it looks like it's black, but up close it's actually green!"

In the early 19th century, cultural figures such as Weber, Mendelssohn and Victor Hugo visited the area, and Queen Victoria of England visited Mount Rigi in person.

"There are a lot of celebrities who have come here to see it, so you can see how famous this place is, and I think it's quite interesting to come here to see it!" Meng Wenjie said.

In 1871 the mountain railway was built here, the first mountain railway in Europe, and there are still steam locomotives, which can be preserved by a mountain train from Vitznau or Gordau, or a cable car from Weggis.

Then turn to the mountain train and go up the mountain to see the beautiful scenery, the town of Fitznau and Weegis at the foot of the Swiss mountain is a famous SPA health resort in the Lucerne Lake area, it is really good to come here exclusively, the scenery of Switzerland is really beautiful, Xia Yuxiang took everyone all the way, and felt that every place he went to, it was a landscape.

Less than an hour's boat ride from Lucerne Quay to the mountain train station in Vitznau, the St. Regis is a place where many tourists and business guests are held every year for their meetings and trainings, thanks to its gentle mountain terrain with its walking trails, numerous hotels, restaurants and holiday apartments, beautiful landscapes and a strong Swiss flair.

Xia Yuxiang, the head of the group, said: "They are still very well developed here, combining the natural scenery with the commercial atmosphere, developing some very distinctive places, building some buildings with local characteristics, and the tourism industry is also developing very well!"
