Chapter 441: A Trip to Switzerland

Xia Yuxiang said: "Our trip to Austria is over, and the next stop is Switzerland, which is very close to Germany, France, Italy and Austria, and has also joined the 'Belt and Road', and our Swiss journey is about to begin." ”

"Switzerland is a mountainous landlocked country located in south-central Europe, bordering Austria and Liechtenstein in the east, Italy in the south, France in the west, and Germany in the north. ”

Qu Lihua said: "This is my first time to go to Switzerland, I have never been abroad to see it before, I heard that Switzerland is still very developed, and I have classmates who come to study in Switzerland." ”

"Yes, let's take a look together, I believe that our domestic people, there are still many people who don't know about Switzerland, we hope that our program can allow the photographer's lens to record the beauty of Switzerland, so that more people in China can better understand the countries along the 'Belt and Road'." ”

"Switzerland is also one of the richest, most socially stable, most economically developed and with the highest standard of living in the world, ranking first in the Global Innovation Index, rich in tourism resources, known as a world park, and its per capita GDP has always been among the highest in the world, second only to Luxembourg in Europe. ”

Meng Wenjie said: "The education in Switzerland is still good, when I was in China, I often saw that there were Swiss universities to recruit students in China and study in Switzerland, which is relatively cheaper than studying in other developed European and American countries, so there are still many domestic students who choose to study in Switzerland." ”

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Xiaoqu and Xiaomeng both mentioned higher education in Switzerland, yes, many Swiss universities are very distinctive and powerful, and there are quite a few universities that come to us to recruit students in China, and international students can still choose which university to study in according to their own situation." ”

"The scenery of this country is still good, the scenery of Switzerland and Austria is quite famous, Switzerland is next to Austria, the two countries are very close, this country is still quite powerful, although it is not as big as Germany and France, but it is still quite attractive and has their characteristics. ”

Xia Yuxiang took everyone on a plane and flew to Switzerland, and the Swiss journey began.

Sitting on the plane, Qu Lihua looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the plane window, and was very happy in her heart, this is that she has grown so big, she has never had a chance to go abroad, she has been working in China, traveling in China, going to different cities, but she rarely has the opportunity to go abroad, this time the opportunity is rare, following the head of Xia Yuxiang, she went to many countries, which opened her eyes and touched me deeply.

Xia Yuxiang said: "I will introduce this country to you, I have been to Switzerland before, this time I will not ask for a tour guide for you, I will be a tour guide for you, the Swiss territory is in prehistoric Celtic activity area, Celts were once the indigenous people of central Europe. ”

In the 2nd century B.C., their tribes extended to a wide area of present-day France, Belgium, northern Italy, Spain, and the Rhine Valley, and in their heyday they successfully conquered the city of Rome. ”

"The Celtic tribes of Helvedi and Leto inhabited the territory of Switzerland before 70 BC, the Germanic peoples in northern Europe continued to expand into the Celtic settlements, and the Helvedi tribes, feeling the pressure of the Germanic peoples, decided to retreat westward to the Atlantic coast southwest of Gaul, taking advantage of the territory of the Roman Empire. ”

Considering the potential threat of the Germanic people to the Roman Empire, Caesar decided to establish a Helvedian state in Switzerland under Roman control, and instead of acceding to the Celts' request for passage, the Roman army attacked them, forcing the latter to become allies of the Roman Empire, and the Celts, who had the support of the Roman Empire, defeated the Germanic people who invaded south. ”

After Caesar's death, his successor Augustus incorporated the Helvedian tribe into the imperial province and officially incorporated it into the Roman Empire, and the local Celts began the Romanization era. ”

"Later, a lot of things happened, I won't expand the specifics, this land, after a long time, there will be different people, a lot of people, different ideas, there will be conflicts and contradictions, all kinds of power games, survival of the fittest, and finally formed the appearance we see now, I will take you to visit in the future, the plane is about to land, everyone take their luggage, follow me off the plane. ”

Meng Wenjie helped Qu Lihua carry down the suitcase, he has always been quite gentlemanly, and took good care of Qu Lihua along the way, Qu Lihua smiled at him.

"Thank you, Brother Meng!"

"You're welcome!"

After getting off the plane, Captain Xia Yuxiang took everyone to see the blue sky and white clouds, and everyone was in a good mood.

Xia Yuxiang continued to introduce to everyone, "Switzerland is located in the north temperate zone, although the area is small, but the climate varies greatly from place to place, and the Alps stretch from east to west, forming the dividing line of Swiss climate. ”

"Switzerland has a low summer temperature and a cold winter, but the geographical location and varied terrain contribute to the diversity of the local climate, with a Mediterranean climate in the southern Alps, with dry summers and warm and humid winters. ”

"The climate of the region north of the Alps has a clear transition, from west to east, from a mild and humid temperate oceanic climate to a temperate continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, and the local high-altitude areas belong to the plateau mountain climate. ”

"Switzerland is characterized by a lack of mineral resources, with only a small amount of salt, coal, iron and manganese ore, and mainly rely on imports for energy and industrial raw materials for production and life. ”

"There are 26 cantons in Switzerland, and there are still many places we can visit this time: Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Oberwalden, Nidwalden, Glarus, Zug, Fribourg, Solothurn, Baselstadt, Basel, Schaffhausen, Appenzell Away, Appenzell Inside, St. Gallen, GraubΓΌnden, Aargau, Turgau, Ticino, Vaud, Valais, NeuchΓ’tel, Geneva, Jura. ”

"This time, due to time constraints, we can't all run over, we will choose a few representative cities to take you to see!"

Qu Lihua was very curious and asked Head Xia Yuxiang, "Head Xia, what are the main cities in Switzerland, can you introduce them to us?"

"Yes, the main cities in Switzerland are Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, Lausanne, St. Gallen, Lucerne, Lugano and Locarno. ”

"Some cities are still very modern, still very developed, the streets are relatively clean and tidy, the environment is still good, there are still a lot of places worth visiting, there are also many restaurants, when the time comes, I will take you to taste Swiss food, see the beautiful scenery of Switzerland, everyone is looking forward to it!"

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.
