In addition to the large clock, there is also an observation deck on the top of the hill, which can overlook the whole city of Graz, and there is a map to compare the location of the city.

Head Xia Yuxiang took out the map to show everyone, Meng Wenjie took the map, Qu Lihua also came over to see, the feeling of climbing high and overlooking is really good, the scenery is beautiful, the weather is very good, the sunshine time here is long, the daytime is relatively long, and it also gives everyone enough time to visit.

There are also several view cafes on the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy the scenery while drinking coffee.

"It's still nice to sit here and look at the scenery, drink some coffee, get together with a few friends, chat, and come here to give us the feeling that the pace of life is slower than that of Berlin and Paris, which is very suitable for vacation!" Meng Wenjie said.

"Yes, if you travel in a group, the price here is lower than in the big cities, and it is more expensive to go to Berlin, Germany, and Paris, France!"

"The price of the hotel is also more favorable, if you choose to travel, it is more cost-effective, you can come here for a holiday if you like this style!"

The Great Clock TowerThe Great Clock Tower, which stands on the castle hill, is a landmark of Graz, and you can see this beautiful bell tower and the time marked by the clock clearly from anywhere in the city.

"This is the characteristic of this place, we have been to many European cities before and there is fashion, when we go to Paris, France, there are also very eye-catching big clocks, when we go to Italy, there are also big clocks, we also have Berlin, this is the characteristic of these countries, in Europe clocks are a kind of symbol, or do they keep some classical clocks, to show their history and culture. ”

"Representing an elegant, refined, rigorous and fashionable spirit, the bell has been a patron saint for centuries, silently witnessing and remembering the rise and fall of Graz, ringing three times a day as a reminder of the city's history. ”

The Clock Tower was first built in the 13th century as a watchtower and was rebuilt to its current appearance.

It's just that now the ornamental and educational role is more, and the role is different from the role at that time, when its task was to warn and tell the time, the tower hung 3 large bells with different functions, respectively, the clock, the fire alarm bell, the death bell.

Today's visitors can still feel the love and pride of the people of Graz when looking at the clock, but occasionally they will be confused by the hands of the clock, look closely, the hands of the clock are different, in order to let people in the distance can clearly see the time, the clock is represented by the long hand on the hour hand, the short hand on the minute hand.

Inside the clock tower is the Castle Hill Museum, also known as the double bass because of its unique appearance, and there is a musical atmosphere here, and everything is compared to musical instruments, which is more vivid.

Next to the clock tower is a staircase that leads to the Hobostein Gardens, which have been bred since 1930 with a variety of Mediterranean plants, such as fig trees, lemon trees, ginkgo trees, wisteria, etc.

"When I came to Austria, I really had beautiful scenery, mountains, waterfalls, and many flowers, and I was very happy to look at, and my mood was happy!" Qu Lihua said.

Meng Wenjie nodded, "It's indeed a good place, the scenery is really beautiful, climb high and look into the distance, you can see far away!"

On a path next to the clock tower, there is a stone dog carving guarding the clock tower, and it is said that at that time, the Hungarian king abducted the princess after his proposal to the Austrian princess was rejected, and was fortunate to be rescued by a greyhound when passing through this place, and the princess built this statue to commemorate the dog.

"It's quite interesting, there are still a lot of legends, hundreds of years, a lot of things have happened, some things have been passed down and remembered, Austria is romantic, there have always been beautiful legends about the pursuit of love. ”

"Hungary is still very close to Austria, Switzerland, Austria, France and Germany are very close, these countries influence each other, there are similarities and differences in culture, there are differences in history and culture. ”

In Graz, there are several classic buildings that are called the crown of Graz, including the cathedral, the central castle of Liberty Square, the University of Graz, the seminary, etc., but the most beautiful, influential and representative of Graz's long history and the characteristics of the old city is the famous Ferdinand II Mausoleum.

Ferdinand II ordered his Italian court painters and architects to design the mausoleum and St. Catherine's Church, which is considered one of the most important buildings in Austria in the 17th century.

The oval roof of the chapel and the many details of St. Catherine's Chapel show the characteristics of the Renaissance Baroque architecture of the time, and until the death of Ferdinand II in 1937, the mausoleum was not fully repaired, and his grandson, Leopold I, the Holy Roman Emperor, still buried him here, and sent a young artist to continue to design and repair the interior of the mausoleum.

The vault of the mausoleum houses a red marble coffin where Ferdinand's mother, Queen Bavaria, is buried, and the reliefs and frescoes in the mausoleum are characteristic, depicting many stories and characters, most of which celebrate the glory and history of the Ferdinand family.

"These are the burial places of nobles, they lived in luxurious palaces during their lifetimes, and they can also build a very magnificent cemetery after death, which is difficult to compare with ordinary people!" said Head Xia Yuxiang.

Meng Wenjie said: "Austria said that the Austrian aristocracy is really too comfortable, this kind of life is too luxurious, there are a lot of good food in life, living in a luxurious castle, they are bigger than the villas we live in now, they are all castles, the castle is bigger than the villa house, there are manors, there are vineyards, a large area of grapes, endless!"

Qu Lihua nodded, "Yes, it's great to come and live here, the scenery is beautiful, and the treatment of the nobles is really enviable!"

The reliefs on the vault of St. Catherine's Church depict the forced flight of Leopold I during the capture of Vienna by the Ottoman Turks during the Battle of Vienna, the return of the Emperor after the victory of Austria, and the subsequent prosperity of Vienna.

The Museum of Modern Art in Graz am Moore and the Art Nouveau are the works of British architect Peter Cook, which are made of blue plastic glass collage, which is very good-looking, fashionable, novel and has a modern temperament.

The contrast between the surrealist architecture in the heart of Graz and the castle and bell tower of the Red Top Tower is one of Graz's most iconic sights.

The Museum of Modern Art in Graz is the embodiment and interpretation of Peter Cook's bio-existential architectural concept, and the visual contrast and abruptness with the surrounding traditional buildings have also led to the museum's description as an urban monster, with a bold and avant-garde design.
