"Let's come to this state, it's pretty good, there are commonalities between cities, and there will be differences. Head Xia Yuxiang said.

Qu Lihua said: "Yes, Captain Xia took us to a lot of Swiss cities and towns, which are quite distinctive, leaving us with a deep impression, following Captain Xia, but also let us increase our knowledge, these cities were not very familiar to us in China before, and in geography class, they are rarely introduced in such detail, or we should come and see in person." ”

Schaffhausen is located in a temperate zone, on the edge of the Swiss plateau, and the city is located in a rain shadow zone of the Black Forest, the Langden Plateau and the Yas Mountains, where the Black Forest is particularly protected from the rainy westerly winds.

Together with the cities of Winterthur, St. Gallen and Fraunfeld, Schaffhausen supports a development aid project every year in Germany and abroad.

Before industrialization, the city's economy was dominated by viticulture, linen weaving, inland waterway transport and trade, and another factor that has increased Schaffhausen's attractiveness has been the direct rail connection to Zurich International Airport, which has increased Schaffhausen's global accessibility.

As part of the transport links between cities in northern Switzerland and southern Germany with the airport, the railway also increases the connectivity of Schaffhausen in the region, and the new Schaffhausen International School is another important factor in attracting foreign companies.

Choosing to do business in Schaffhausen has created thousands of jobs and made a significant contribution to the local economy, as of Schaffhausen is home to many well-known industrial companies, including the well-known manufacturer of piping systems, machine tools and automobiles, Georg Fischer, an internationally renowned watchmaker.

The busiest and most widely used square in Schaffhausen in the heart of the pedestrian zone, Franva Square has two historic fountains, restored and painted in the eighties of the 19th century in accordance with the original historical tradition, the four-eyed "Servant Fountain" directly in front of Franva Square and the Moorish Fountain opposite the field.

Henak Square, the largest square in the city, has had a weekly market for centuries, as well as art performances and entertainment, and in 1961, with the popularity of motor vehicles, the market gradually gave way to parking lots. The next proposal was the need for an underground garage.

At the end of the 90s, a commercial underground car park project was finally finalized, and the car park under Hernak Square was opened in 2002. The redesign of the plaza required two rounds of voting in a referendum, and in 2006 the newly designed traffic-free plaza was handed over to the public, and today it is also the venue for numerous concerts.

Located between the Lower Town and Schlitland, a direct link from the old town of Schaffhausen to the Rhine, the square is surrounded by two historic buildings of Gutthof and Schwezhehof, which together with the salt works 200 metres upstream along the river are the last testimonies of Schaffhausen's centuries-old salt industry.

Founded by the German landscape gardener Johann Michael Zeyer, the complex is a mixture of landscape gardens and structurally rigorous baroque gardens, the longitudinal axis of which terminates at the edge of the historic quarry Owiv, where an observation deck is built.
