Chapter 295: Venice, the City of Water

Wine, it's just a very ordinary liquor, Ye Chao doesn't expect to find good wine in a hurry in this kind of place, it's good to have it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The liquor is peanuts, and you can live a two-day free life.

After two days, you have to get some game to roast. After the hare has eaten, it eats wild cats, wild birds, and even wild boars.

Speaking of wild boar, the skin is really thick, and although the wild boar is nourishing, the taste is ...... People who have never eaten wild boar generally don't understand that the taste, without special roasting, ordinary people can't eat it.

Among the game, whether it is a wild boar or a hare, the taste is a little harsh, but those who can roast it can get rid of this smell after putting it on the material.

After living for less than a month, Ye Chao couldn't stand the loneliness on the mountain, and as a result of enduring and enduring this month, it seems that the "mountain man" is not so easy to be.

After going down the mountain, the first thing Ye Chao did was to find a hotel, take a comfortable bath, and then have a big meal.

I eat grilled food every day, and after eating it for a long time, I feel that my throat is smoking.

Ye Chao doesn't want to live this kind of life anymore, no matter what, he has so much money now, how uncomfortable it is to go up the mountain to be a hermit in the mountains, he is afraid of harming the acquaintances around him, so he can run away. He ran out of the country, can't he go on another world trip?

In that case, even if you end up with a demonic nature and want to harm people, it will also harm foreigners, right?

As for where to go, Ye Chao didn't have a clear goal, he just went to the airport, asked casually, and bought a ticket to Italy.

As for why I went there, there was no why, it was just a random first.

The plane flew to Italy, Ye Chao went shopping, and the exotic style did not make him demonic for the time being, but a little poetic.

Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance – although, now, it is no longer as glorious as it once was.

Now that he has come to Italy, Ye Chao wants to go to Venice to see this exotic city built on water.

It is said that this floating city is now in danger, affected by global warming, rising sea levels, and constantly threatened by flooding. Many experts predict that in 80 years, the city of Venice will cease to exist, that is, it will be submerged by the sea.

Ye Chao felt that this city was actually quite sad, and he felt that his life experience was also a little sad, so Ye Chao wanted to take a look at this legendary water city.

The Venetian water city is the essence of the Renaissance and is the only city in the world without cars.

God shed tears here, but made it more crystal and tender, like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves.

Venice has the reputation of "born because of water, beautiful because of water, and prosperous because of water", and enjoys the reputation of "water city", "water city", "city of 100 islands", "queen of the Adriatic Sea" and "bridge city".

The style of Venice is always inseparable from "water", the winding water alleys, the flowing clear waves, it is like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves, and the poetry and painting linger for a long time.

The history of Venice is said to have begun in 453 AD; At that time, the peasants and fishermen of Venice fled to this small island in the Adriatic Sea to escape the nomadic people who were thirsty for sword soldiers.

Venice is shaped like a dolphin.

The city covers an area of less than 7.8 square kilometers, but it is made up of 118 small islands and 177 canals.

There are many monuments in the city of Venice, including churches, bell towers, convents and palaces. The Aqueduct is the longest street that runs through the city, it divides the city into two parts, and sightseeing along the aqueduct is one of the best ways to see the sights of Venice, with many famous buildings on both sides and the footprints of writers, painters and musicians.

St. Mark's Square is the central square of Venice, and the Basilica of St. Mark's to the east of the square is majestic and magnificent.

The Doge's Palace was the official residence of the former Doge of Venice, and the halls are lavishly decorated with paintings, frescoes and marble carvings.

The Bridge of Sighs behind the Doge's Palace is a bridge that convicts who have been sentenced to go to the prison, and prisoners often repent and sigh when crossing the bridge, hence the name "Bridge of Sighs". For example, the whole city of Venice is built in the water, the waterways are the streets, the boat is the only means of transportation in Venice, and the local boat gondola has a unique character, so you might as well try it when you come to Venice.

In February, a carnival is held here, during which people wear wigs and masks and wear robes to celebrate the festival.

The Venetian method of construction is to insert wooden columns into the earth under Venice and then pave them with a layer of large, thick Istrian stone. This Istrian stone is extremely waterproof and was shipped from Istria in the Adraya Sea.

Then bricks were laid on Istrian stone and buildings were built. Since the bricks are much lighter than Istrian stone, there is no problem with serious subsidence of the house.

It has been said that Venice is rich in alluvial soil, with stones made of local materials, and small boats made of wood from the neighboring interior; Out of the silt, on the water, the ancestors built Venice.

The city's former glory and dreams continue to this day through its exceptionally well-preserved architecture, which has a unique atmosphere that makes visitors feel as if they were enchanted.

It is an amusement park, a place of wonder and fantasy that will make anyone who has ever visited Venice want to linger in the fairytale waters.

Venice has the Teatro La Fenice that was destroyed in the fire and reborn, the great Renaissance and Byzantine architecture, the most beautiful square in the world, Piazza San Marco, which Napoleon praised as "the most beautiful living room in Europe", with a cloister of breathtaking beauty, and some of the most beautiful passages from the master Antonioni's films were filmed here; German music maestro Richard? It was here that Wagner died......

The streets and alleys of Venice are very special.

Some waterways are narrower than Beijing's small hutongs, and two boats cannot run at the same time, but can only travel alone. The streets are lined with old houses, and the ground floor is mostly a boathouse for residents.

Connecting the two sides of the street are a variety of stone or wooden bridges. They stretch high across the middle of the street and do not obstruct the boat at all. The bridges and water streets of Venice crisscross and criss-cross, running through on all sides, people replace the car with boats, replace the road with bridges, land and water, tourists are bustling, pigeons and seagulls fly together, forming a unique life interest in this world-famous water city.

Among the many bridges in Venice, the Rialto bridge, which leads to the city center, is the most famous, also known as the commercial bridge, which is made entirely of white marble and is the symbol of Venice.

The bridge is 48 meters long, 22 meters wide, and 7 meters above the water, supported by 12,000 wooden piles inserted into the water at both ends.

Boats of all sizes shuttle through the sun-shaped tunnel, the Rialto bridge, built in 1180 as a wooden bridge and later converted into a drawbridge.

During a celebration in 1444, the bridge broke due to overwhelm. In 1580~1592, it was rebuilt as a stone bridge.

There is a floating pavilion at the top of the bridge, and on both sides of the bridge are more than 20 jewelry shops and stalls selling souvenirs. There are many monuments in the city of Venice, more than 120 churches of all sizes, including Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, etc., in addition, there are 120 bell towers, 64 convents for men and women, and more than 40 palaces built by the water, all of which are adjacent to each other across the river.

Houses in Venice are built in different styles, with beautiful patterns and patterns carved on the doors, windows, and corridors.

Boating in Venice at night is a unique experience. Every year, thousands of tourists come to Venice, Italy, to experience its beauty, warmth and romance. Venice has a history of several hundred years, and the construction of Venice began in 453 AD (if possible, Lesson 26 of the Wuxia Renjiao version of the language book also introduces the boats of Venice).

Venice has 401 bridges so far, and these bridges have a variety of shapes and styles. Some are like dragons, some are like rainbows, some are solemn, and some are small. The most famous of these is the Riyadh Bridge, which is a single-hole arch bridge made of marble.

No vehicles are allowed in Venice, so all vehicles in the city are boats. There are fixed lines and boat stops like buses, or you can take a taxi like a taxi.

The unique means of transport in Venice is an ancient pleasure boat, which the Venetians call "Gondola", which is the "TAXI" characteristic of Venice. The "gondola" is long, narrow and end-to-end, and is best suited for driving in narrow waterways.

Dressed in traditional black and white costumes and straw hats with red hoops, they rowed with a single oar, and were very skillful. The "gondola" is made of strict and elaborate production: it is 10.75 meters long and 1.75 meters wide, and is made of oak planks and painted seven times with black lacquer.

It was full of six people, and one boatman. Ride the "gondola", through the quaint old water city to the melodious music of the old accordion and other musical instruments, and admire the old buildings on both sides of the "street", and the scenes of daily life in ancient Venice come to mind.

It's a rare treat, and if you go to the square again to enjoy an absolutely authentic Italian fast food, a pasta or a pizza and Italian beer, that cozy, romantic feeling will arise and will make you even more intoxicated!

The waterways of Venice and the famous boat "gondola" are famous all over the world. The 118 islands in the lagoon are made up of about 150 waterways. The islands that make up Venice have about 400 bridges.

In the old city center, canals replaced the functions of highways, so the main modes of transportation were walking and water transportation. In the 19th century, a railway station was built, and the railway causeway connected the northwestern part of the main island of Venice with the Italian peninsula. In the 20th century, a highway embankment and a parking lot were added.

The northwestern part of the main island of Venice thus became the entrance point for railways and roads.

The old downtown area of the centre is a narrow and pedestrian area and is the largest car-free area in Europe. In the 21st century, this car-free city is quite unique. Santa Lucia is the only railway station in Venice.

The "gondola" is one of the most iconic and authentic boats on the water in Venice. Nowadays, however, Venetians usually use the more economical vaporetti buses to run through the city's main waterways and other Venetian islands.

The international airport of Venice is Marco Polo International Airport, which has been named after the famous Venetian Marco Polo.

The airport is built on the Italian peninsula on the opposite coast of Venice and away from the coastline, but the water transport to Venice is only a 7-minute walk from the terminal.

Water was once the protector of Venice, but it became Venice's worst enemy.

The Venetians will face another war with water, in which they are already at a disadvantage – the flood is engulfing Venice, and perhaps by the end of the twenty-first century, Venice will sink to the bottom.

The romance of Venice is somewhat poignant, with too much groundwater pumping, causing the land of Venice to continue to sink, coupled with periodic tides, the beautiful Venice is slowly being eroded by floods.

How long will she be beautiful for our world? It's not something we can control. All we can do is get close to her, admire her, fill our hearts with romantic feelings and then leave.

The population of Venice, Italy's "water city", has been declining for many years.

According to the latest statistics, there are fewer than 60,000 people in Venice.

Local residents hold a "funeral" for the "dying" city. It is reported that as a tourist city, prices in Venice are rising rapidly, and many local residents can not bear the high prices and "flee" from their homes every year.

Since the 50s of the last century, the population of Venice has been decreasing.

According to official statistics, the permanent population of Venice in 1951 was 174,000, while in 1996 this figure had dropped to 70,000.

Officials from the city's Department of Demographics say that if this trend continues, Venice will no longer have a locally-born resident population by 2030.

In addition to the increasing frequency of flooding, the decline in the population of Venice is more important because the booming tourism industry has pushed up the cost of living, and a large number of citizens have had to "flee" Venice to live in other Italian cities or on the European continent.

One of the organizers of the Venetian funeral, businessman Shachi, said that in 1950 there were only 1 million visitors here, but today there are about 20 million visitors a year.

In order to make money, daily necessities stores turned to selling masks, glassware, and other souvenirs. "It's not a good thing for the local people – people can't eat glass,"

Property prices in Venice are high, and many homeowners are happy to rent out their homes for short-term periods to tourists rather than long-term locals for more rent.

In addition, tourism has crowded out the living space of other industries. In Venice, if someone does not want to work in the service industry such as tourism or catering, it is difficult for him or her to find another job.

The president of the Venice Hoteliers Association, who recently retired, criticized that Venice has fallen to this point because the management has not seriously planned for the future of Venice for the past 20 to 30 years, only collecting high taxes from tourism.

Venice's Carnival is one of the four largest in the world, having resumed in 1979.

A person who puts on a mask, loses his identity, gains freedom, can be presumptuous, can be indulgent, and this is the reason why many people love carnival.

It is said that during the festival, they say to each other, "Hello, Mr. Mask. ”
