Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, SC Johnson's trip to Europe these days has been an eye-opener. Small countries, in particular, have an intoxicating charm.

Each retains the most original taste, and each city has a unique temperament, just like a beautiful woman with a thin and fat ring, with a graceful demeanor and its own characteristics.

The next day, say goodbye to the petty Prague and go to the magnificent Hungary to get a fresh life. Many people describe Budapest as a rhapsody, with the legendary descendants of the Huns, the Danube and Tisza, Liszt and the Hungarian Rhapsody, the poet Pedolfi, the Nobel Prize in Literature and Keltés......

A city known as the Paris of Eastern Europe, the Danube River flows quietly through the city, dividing the city into two, Buda on the right bank and Pest on the left bank.

When you are truly immersed in the scene, you will find that the whole city is magnificent, from the ruins of ancient Rome to the Renaissance architecture, which has a magnificent vein like an epic.

Almost every ancient city in Europe has a central square that is closely related to history and people, come to Heroes' Square in Pest. The plaza is unremarkable, but the buildings next to it attract SC Johnson's attention.

A minaret is nearly 100 meters high, and together with the Parliament building, it is the tallest building in Budapest, which is the Cathedral of St. István, with a bell tower built on each wing, and the wall clock on the southern bell tower weighs nine tons, claiming to be the largest bell.

Because of his beliefs, SC Johnson was rarely interested in the church, but he still couldn't help it, and he was still deeply shocked when he walked into the church. The décor is opulent, with a tall dome inlaid with gold leaf and religious frescoes, and the light from the dome illuminates the statue of King St. István on the central altar.

The glass enclosure on the right also enshrines the mummified right hand of King St. István, the first king of Hungary, after whom the church is named.

The style of painting is very weird, as if some evil force has been suppressed......

It wasn't until he saw the National Centre for the Performing Arts that SC Johnson finally understood what the so-called European luxury Baroque style was.

It is like the Colosseum in Rome, full of gold and splendor, and every pillar is carved with a variety of intricate patterns, large and small oil paintings and sculptures full of religious meaning, it is simply a museum.

Listen to the guide's explanation, facing the center of the stage, the huge arch on the second floor is the exclusive box of Princess Sissi and Emperor Franz. Looking up, the graceful curved arches and exquisite dome frescoes come into view, and the towering dome is visually intense and intoxicating.

This box is undoubtedly the best position for the whole audience, from here, the splendid opera house and the stage can be seen, all the splendor and vividness seem to be prepared for her alone, this is the most selfless love of Emperor Franz for Princess Sissi.

Standing here, I can't help but give birth to a:

I feel like I'm alone!

GO OUT TO THE MOST FAMOUS NEW YORK CAF NEXT DOOR, KNOWN AS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAFÉ. Built in the late 19th century, when Hungary's economy was booming, many new apartments and office buildings were built on the Pest side, and cafes were opened, making it a gathering place for the middle class.

Today, most of the once-thriving cafes have been remodeled, and there are only a handful of cafes that still retain the style of the last century, and NEW YORK CAFé is one of them.

I have to admit that this is the most pretending café SC Johnson has ever seen!

The décor is extravagant, and the level of luxury is almost comparable to that of a royal palace. The Italian Renaissance and Baroque eclectic style is divided into high and low areas, decorated with marble columns, steps, balustrades and reliefs, with meticulous attention to detail.

Drinking coffee and listening to classical music makes people feel like they are in a royal palace, and the glorious atmosphere of the last century is blowing in their faces.

I suddenly remembered Davis's guy, although I had only met once, but the aristocratic temperament engraved in my bones was unforgettable.

If that old man sits here, sipping coffee elegantly and playing with a cane in his hand, he will kill a lot of fans in seconds!

Walk along the river to the bridge, stand on the bridge and watch the Danube River sparkle with orange waves, and Budapest at this time is rendered with a layer of dreamy colors, which is extremely romantic. Architecturally, Buda is undoubtedly old and full of culture.

Not far away, the sound of the horn sounded, the tram slowly approached, the yellow appearance is very retro, at first glance old, this kind of tram is rare, but in Budapest, this antique tram is still a very popular means of transportation.

From far to near, the rumbling sound, the swaying body, in a trance, seemed to return to its glorious era.

When I came to Europe, I realized that the Church was powerful and ubiquitous. The best location, the most awesome design, the most luxurious decoration, the hottest fame, and even the toughest official background......

For example, the Matthias Church in front of you, where all Hungarian royal weddings and coronations of new kings must be held, is also the church where Princess Sisi and Joseph I were crowned, and the royal check-in office.

The Gothic architecture, the multicolored tiles reflect a brilliant luster in the sun, making the majestic church less cold and more approachable and gentle.

The beautiful and delicate frescoes and stained glass, the magnificent dome all show the wealth and lofty status of the church, and even the lighting is so different, all hand-made and full of artistic sense. Although it has gone through more than 700 years of ups and downs, it is still breathtakingly beautiful.

Passing through the altar and climbing up the spiral staircase, there are handrails with beautiful shapes on one side and beautiful hollow walls with various shapes on the other.

Climb to the top of the church and take in the views of Budapest on both sides of the Danube. As the Danube meanders along the river, lined with houses on both sides, the whole city is like a magnificent picture, stretching for thousands of miles, with the nearby Fisherman's Bastion and the Chain Bridge in the distance becoming the most colorful.

Not to mention that it is indeed very beautiful, especially under the floating clouds, the blue sky and white clouds are floating leisurely, under its background, the Danube River is more and more pure, and the red tiles on both sides of the river are brightly colored.

All kinds of buildings are lined up one after another, or domes, or spires, or bright colors, or simple and unpretentious......

In particular, the Danube, when viewed from afar, stretches like a jade belt, stretching for thousands of miles, and the sparkling waves shine in the refraction of the sun.

At dusk, it looks like a blue ribbon winding across the continent, looking particularly gentle and beautiful in the soft light of the setting sun. The afterglow on the Danube and the surrounding buildings adds a touch of poetry to the otherwise majestic and cold Gothic complex, and the cold lines are softened by the setting sun.
