Xia Yuxiang, head of the regiment, said: "Rivers are also very important, water transportation is also very important, land, waterway, and aviation are all important transportation routes. ”

"Yes, Chief Ha is right," said Professor Abner, that the Seine is a thoroughfare for freight transport, connecting Paris with the sea and the great port of Le Havre. ”

"Most of the freight, mainly heavy petroleum products and building materials, reaches the main Paris port facility in Geineville, the lower Seine system reaches the Rhine via the Marne, and connects to Belgian shipping waterways via the Oise. ”

"Waterway transportation is also very important for France, many port goods are transported out by waterway, land transport and waterway transport have their own important roles, sometimes, due to the geographical location, not all can go by land, port transport is by water, so whether the waterway transport is smooth, also determines the economic development of a country. ”

"So we still attach great importance to the Seine, in addition to this river is an important resource for the residents along the river, the drinking water of the surrounding residents is basically dependent on this river, water resources are also very important, people can not live without water, so food and water are important conditions to ensure the reproduction and life of human beings. ”

"Large power stations, whether thermal or nuclear, draw cooling water from the river, half of the water used in the area around Paris, both industrial and residential, and three-quarters of the water used in the area between Rouen and Le Havre is also taken from the Seine, so we French people value this river and thank this mother river for nurturing generations of French people, allowing us to thrive and pass on from generation to generation. ”

From the basin to the Jonne, Marne, Orbe and Seine themselves, four large reservoirs have been built, and these shallow reservoirs, surrounded by woodland and countryside, have become bird sanctuaries and tourist attractions.

"I booked a ticket for everyone to take a boat ride and see the scenery on both sides of the Seine. ”

The boat came, Qu Lihua and the members of the delegation got on the boat, divided into two floors, the upper floor is open, the lower floor is closed, and the tourists can all go to the upper deck to enjoy the scenery around the Seine.

The weather is very good, it is a sunny day, - tourists are in groups of three or five, very happy, they speak the languages of different countries, it can be seen that French tourism makes them very happy, Qu Lihua followed Xia Yuxiang head, climbed the two floors, found a place to sit down, the breeze blew gently, blowing Qu Lihua's hair, she looked at the scenery on both sides, very happy.

When you come to a foreign country, you can feel the different customs, which is indeed different from the oriental culture, the architectural styles of Europe are different, and the decoration of the cruise ship is also different, which is quite fresh.

"Professor Abner, what's the climate like here, what is the temperature difference, is there a big difference between summer and winter?"

"The Seine has a mild maritime climate, with no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter, with an average temperature of 3°C in January, 18°C in July and 10°C in the year. ”

"Wow, that's so good, it's not hot in summer, it's not cold in winter, it's very suitable for human habitation. ”

"Yes, France is really good, so tourists who come to France do not need to bring too thick down jackets, generally wear a sweater inside in winter, wear a coat outside, and it will not be too hot in summer, men can wear shirts, and take off their jackets when it is hot, without worrying about whether it will reach 30 degrees, there will be no sweating, and it will feel like being in a steamer. ”

"So this climate also makes more and more tourists like to travel to France. ”

"Professor Abner, how's the rain here?"

"Rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year, with only occasional snowfall on the higher southern and eastern margins, low water levels in summer and high water levels in winter, as is the case in China. ”

Meng Wenjie was a little curious, "Will there be a flood?"

Professor Abner smiled, "The Seine is the most regular river in France, and it is also the most natural and navigable river, in order to improve its seaworthiness, the construction of promoting the regularization of the river has been carried out, the dry water phenomenon has disappeared, the winter flood is rarely dangerous, we still do a lot of measures to control the water, so there is still no harm, and tourists who come to play do not have to worry about being washed away by the flood." ”

"If we look back at history, we can see that countless important figures in the history of France played a crucial role in the transformation of the Seine and the construction of the city of Paris. ”

"Emperors and empresses have played an influential role in the construction of this great river, and Napoleon has also played a certain role, and it has been through the historical changes of several generations that the style we see today has been formed. ”

"Notre-Dame, the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe, as well as the Eiffel Tower on the banks of the Seine, have become the most striking landmarks in Paris and a symbol of the Industrial Revolution. ”

On both sides of the Seine, plane trees are planted.

"You must be familiar with the plane tree, right? You also have plane trees in China. ”

"Yes!" Qu Lihua nodded, "Our Chinese plane tree, with a smooth trunk and large and beautiful leaves, is a famous ornamental tree species, and the ancient Chinese legend says that the phoenix 'does not inhabit the sycamore', and the sycamore has an important role in Chinese culture." ”

"Yes, there are many advantages of the sycamore tree, the sycamore grows fast, the wood is suitable for making musical instruments, the bark can be used for paper and rope, the seeds can be edible or squeezed for oil, most of the sycamore trees are artificially cultivated, easy to survive, and also resistant to pruning, can be widely planted as street greening trees, in summer can block the sun for people, and in autumn the leaves of the sycamore tree turn yellow, and it is also a beautiful scenery to fall on the ground." ”

"Native to southeastern Europe, India and the Americas, the French plane tree has a tall trunk, lush branches and leaves, rapid growth, easy to survive, and resistant to pruning, so it is widely planted as a street greening tree species, and is also a fast-growing timber species, and has strong resistance to toxic gases such as nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen," said Professor Abner. ”

"In the first and twenties of the 20th century, the French plane tree was introduced to China in large quantities, and the French planted it in the French Concession in Shanghai. ”

"Plane tree, also known as two-ball plane tree, British plane tree, is a three-ball plane tree, also known as French plane tree and one ball plane tree, also known as American plane tree hybrid, two ball plane tree has a good heterosis, fast growth, easy reproduction, large and thick leaves, beautiful tree posture, pruning resistance, has the effect of purifying the air, known as the king of the world's street trees. ”

"The French plane tree is so beautiful!" Qu Lihua praised, and suddenly she saw a statue of a goddess, and she was very excited and pointed to the distance.

"Look, there's a statue of a goddess over there!"

At a bend in the boat, on the terrain of the peninsula, there is also a Statue of Liberty holding a torch, which is exactly the same as the one in New York, USA, but much smaller than the Statue of Liberty in New York, USA.
