"Well, thanks to Robin for taking you to visit many cities in Germany, our trip to Germany is coming to an end, the next stop we will go to Austria, there are many countries near Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, etc. ”
"We've been to Hungary and Italy before, and we've been to France, so let's pick some of the neighboring countries that are representative of us. Head Xia Yuxiang said.
"We packed our bags and thanked Robin for his hospitality during this time, we ended our trip to Germany, and our friendship was evergreen, and we still welcomed Robin to China to play in the future. ”
Robin smiled, "I am a Chinese son-in-law, my mother-in-law and wife are Chinese, I am German, but China is also my second hometown, my current work is still often back and forth between Germany and China, there is a deep feeling, I gave birth to children, I teach them to speak both German and Chinese, I hope that the Sino-German friendship will be evergreen, there are more projects to cooperate." ”
After resting for a night, head Xia Yuxiang took everyone to the airport, took a plane to Austria, said goodbye to Robin, gave souvenirs as gifts, and waved goodbye with Robin's blessings.
"People always have emotions, and when they are about to leave Germany, they suddenly feel a little reluctant, and they are a little familiar with coming to Germany, and they are a little sad to leave!" Qu Lihua said.
Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "Yes, we have been in Germany for a while, our time is relatively tight, to save a little money, I try to arrange the itinerary as compact, we will go to Austria, let everyone rest for a few days, make up for sleep, and then go to see Austrian cities, see attractions, and then go to other countries." ”
Austria's unique geographical location in the heart of Europe makes it a bridge between Central and Eastern Europe and Western Europe, and Austria's economic development depends on exports.
"Austria has also joined the Belt and Road, but also along the country, we go to this country, there are also a lot of attractions and scenery worth seeing, after everyone gets off the plane, first go to make up for sleep, this time everyone has worked hard, let's rest for three days, let the body rest, and then follow me around!"
"This country, we don't invite a tour guide, this country, I've been there, I'm still more familiar with the attractions, we will rely on ourselves to investigate this time, this is an attempt, neighboring countries, if we can successfully investigate Austria, other countries, we also go by ourselves. ”
Qu Lihua joked with Head Xia Yuxiang, "Head Xia, will we get lost if we follow you?"
Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "I have a map with me, I shouldn't get lost!"
When the plane stopped steadily, and when Captain Xia Yuxiang took everyone to look at the country, everyone felt very fresh.
Austria is a Central European country known for its beautiful landscapes and classical music, nestled in the Alps, and when Austria is mentioned, it is natural to think of its capital, Vienna's Golden Hall, the musical prodigy Mozart's Little Star Variations and Strauss's Blue Danube.
"There is still a unique charm here, we got off the plane, I took everyone to the hotel first, just have a meal, just rest, three days later, we started our trip, everyone worked hard!" said Xia Yuxiang, the head of the group.
"Okay!" Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie followed Captain Xia Yuxiang off the plane, and after resting for three days, they gathered the team.
Palazzo Belverdi, designed by Hildeblount, was the summer residence of Prince Eugen of Savoy, built between 1714 and 1723.
"This palace, we are still worth visiting, we have seen many palaces in Germany before, and this palace is also worth seeing. ”
In the Belverdi Palace, first see the baroque iron gate, on which the S, which symbolizes the Savoy, is wound with iron wires, and see the Upper Beverde Palace, which stands at the end of the pool, and the Upper Beverde Palace, which is divided into three floors.
Inside, it houses modern European art, including works by Klimt, Van Gogh, Schiller, and Geist, and although this vast French garden is not as magnificent as the Palace of Versailles in Paris, the lawn, huge flower beds, fountains, and statues can still smell the 17th-century garden landscaping, spanning the two gardens.
The Museum of Baroque Art and Medieval Art was set up, the most famous is the splendid marble hall, and the glass hall, which is still very brilliant, all like luxury, the decoration inside is really amazing, you can still see the former prosperity here, the marble is very shiny, can shine the human figure, the glass hall is also carefully designed, very good-looking, there are many grotesque murals, very Austrian style.
This is something Qu Lihua has never seen before, she thinks it is very interesting, and follows the head of Xia Yuxiang to watch and appreciate it at the same time.
Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, Austria, is the symbol of Vienna and the third highest in the world after Cologne Church and Ulm Church.
The earliest part of the building is the current gate and the gate walls on the left and right sides, which are in the Roman architectural style, and the church has been re-expanded, and two high towers in the north and south have been built, the south tower was built first, with the Gothic architectural style, and the north tower was built later, and has the taste of the Renaissance.
In the 18th century, the cathedral was enlarged and the exterior walls were renovated in the Baroque style, with the tall south tower being a fine example of the Gothic style, and the huge bell nicknamed Pimmerlin.
The striking armband pattern of yellow, green, and black on the roof, as well as a double-headed eagle.
"After 4 centuries of continuous renovation, renovation and expansion projects, this church has become a strange hybrid building in the world, it has been influenced by various styles, in a long time, there are different designers, but also suffered some damage, continuous repairs, restoration, after such a long time, to form the current style, it still looks like the classical style of European churches, tall and solemn, the spire towers towering into the sky. ”
Everyone who walks into the church will be amazed by the vastness and beauty of its architecture, with two rows of Gothic columns dividing the main nave into three parts.
As far as the eye can see, rays of colorful light pour in from the only two spared glass paintings behind the altar, adding a touch of mystery to the Baroque altar.
Qu Lihua's eyes were attracted by a 17,000-pipe pipe organ, and she listened to the priest here introduce that this organ is very famous, and time flies, and in the war, it has retained a very meaningful mark and left a deep impression on the Austrian people.
The Austrians still keep this sign on the wall of Stephen's Cathedral, and listen to the priest say that the Austrians are strong and brave enough to believe that Austria still exists, and whenever the passage of time obscures the symbol, someone rewrites it with white paint, so that people do not forget this history.
After listening to it, Qu Lihua also felt very moved, although the history is far away, but the touching story is still left, which is evocative and worth remembering.
