Xia Yuxiang took everyone to walk and see, the scenery here is still quite good, there are many exquisite buildings and sculptures along the street, as well as art and jewelry shops, it is a sightseeing destination that every visitor to Gdansk will not miss.

"There are many places to visit, there are many businesses, there are many attractions, there are theaters, cinemas, concert halls, and cultural performances, and people are yearning for peace and a good life," Professor Chen said. ”

"I've lived here, I've adapted to the local culture, and I think the people here are still quite friendly, of course, there are good people and bad people, but people are still good, and bad people are not welcome everywhere. ”

"I have lived for a long time, I have colleagues, I have familiar friends, I have familiar neighbors, people need to interact and communicate with people, they will not be locked up at home, they will not come out, sometimes, my parents are retired, they still like to come out and chat with their neighbors, go to the Chinese community, carry out activities with overseas Chinese, chat, there is a sense of intimacy. ”

"After going abroad, the Chinese people are very united, this is a very good advantage of our Chinese nation, everyone has any difficulties, just help each other, you help me, I help you, you warm me, I warm you, the society will be harmonious!"

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Yes, our delegation has also received the help of many overseas Chinese and international friends, and we also deeply feel this friendship. ”

"Let's talk about how the local area attracts tourists and develops tourism?"

"I think there are still a lot of ways to attract tourists from Norway and Sweden because the climate along the coast of Poland is too cool to attract a large number of foreign tourists, so Poland has taken advantage of its proximity to the Scandinavian source market to attract tourists from Norway and Sweden, and opened high-end luxury ferries from there to Gdansk and Svinoujcice in the summer," said Professor Chen. ”

"High-end luxury cruise ships are still very attractive to tourists, people like to take yachts to enjoy the scenery along the coast, there are chefs on the yachts, can provide delicious food, there are also tour guides, every time you go to a scenic spot, you can explain, provide quality service, it is still quite effective, but also attract tourists, the number of visitors has also increased. ”

Gdansk is the largest port in Poland and one of the largest ports on the Baltic coast, with a large annual throughput of the port.

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "The port city is still very advantageous, with good water transportation, parallel to the coastline to the west to Szczecin, to the southwest to the German capital Berlin, due south through Bydgoszcz, to the Silesian industrial area, to the southeast to the Polish capital Warsaw, and to the east to the former German capital of East Prussia, Russia's Kaliningrad. ”

"Gdansk runs through Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia and ends in Prala, Croatia, on the Adriatic coast, and remains an important port, trading and industrial city that plays a pivotal role in Poland's economic development," said Professor Chen. ”

Shipping and trade have always been the foundation of the city's survival and development, and Gdańsk is located in the delta area of the mouth of the Vistula River, which provides easy access to many parts of Poland through the convenient inland water transport of the Vistula.

The hinterland is wider than any other Baltic port, and this favorable location has made Gdansk one of the most prosperous shipping and international trade centers in Europe at an early stage.

The Gdansk shipyard is the largest shipbuilding enterprise in Poland, and emerging industries such as electronics, communications, IT engineering, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are also on the rise.

Meng Wenjie said: "Port cities, if you need ships, you need shipyards, Xia Yuxiang has taken us to many port cities, and their shipbuilding is also very advanced!"

"Yes, I can take you to see the shipyard, the scale is still very large, the experience of shipbuilding is also very rich, and there are skilled workers, let's go, I'll take you to have a look!"

After visiting the shipyard, Professor Chen reaffirmed that the amber processing industry is also very important to the local economy, and that northern Poland is rich in Baltic amber and is one of the richest amber reserves in the world, and Gdansk is the main concentration of amber processing workshops and the world's largest amber distribution center.

Gdańsk has several theatres, a concert hall, an opera house, numerous museums and open-air concerts on the Long Square in summer.

"In the summer, people gather around the square, watching concerts and performances are still very lively, and the leisure and entertainment facilities are quite perfect!"

"Next city, we will go to Szczecin!"

"Let's let Professor Chen introduce to you!" said Head Xia Yuxiang.

Szczecin's urban planning is very unique, with plenty of green areas, parks and boulevards, and a wide road on the island with dense trees and a separation zone that separates traffic in the opposite direction, usually by trams and carousels, and this form of urban planning in Szczecin is very similar to Paris.

"Hmm!" Qu Lihua nodded, "Head Xia Yuxiang has taken us to Paris, it's very beautiful!"

"The main reason is that Szczecin, like Paris, was rebuilt in the 80s of the 19th century, and his design philosophy is also reflected in the streets of Szczecin, such as many of the urban areas that have been built, including the carousel and the boulevard," says Professor Chan. ”

"Gothic and Renaissance architecture is considered worth preserving, and we can still see a lot of old buildings here, which have a historical and cultural imprint, and are still very valuable, and Szczecin is also the economic center of northwestern Poland. ”

Meng Wenjie asked: "What are the advantages of Shiczecin's industry?"

Professor Chan replied: "There are a number of industrial sectors, with shipbuilding being the largest, as well as industries such as steel, machinery, cranes and precision instruments, automobiles, tires, chemical fertilizers, paints, pigments, building materials cement, glass, ceramics, papermaking, leather, textiles and food processing, distant-water fishing bases and river ports, as well as some import and export cargo transshipment ports for the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Germany. ”

"In terms of transport, there is a very convenient public transport system throughout Szczecin, including the bus network and tram operation,

There are no motorways on the roads connecting the rest of Poland, and the S3 motorway, which is under construction, will greatly improve traffic from Szczecin to Gorzów in Greater Poland. ”

"Szczecin has good rail connections with the rest of Poland, but the western railway to Germany is a double-track, non-electrified railway, which is still very easy to get to. ”

"Szczecin also has many sister cities, such as Bremerhaven in Germany, Rostock in Germany, Greifswald in Germany, Friedrichschachin Kreuzberg in Berlin, Lübeck in Germany, Esbjerg in Denmark, Hull in the UK, Malmö in Sweden, Murmansk in Russia, St. Louis in Missouri in the United States, Klaipeda in Lithuania, etc., all have good cooperation and develop trade with each other. ”
